Just waiting on some cards from the mail but been wanting to make Algol since I saw the character spoiled on the fourms.

.Algol.

4x 5/4 Tag Along
3x 0/5 Malicious Intent +1M

2x 3/5 Pseudo-Soul Caliber +3H Unique
2x 2/5 Tower of Rememberance- Degredation +2M Terrain
2x 0/6 Olcadan's Mentoring +0L

4x 6/3 Kuzuryu Reppa +1H M:1
3x 5/3 Alshain Najm +3H Algol Combo
4x 5/3 Alaraph Achernar +2L
4x 4/2 Alphard Maliki Throw

4x 0/4 Saikyo Ryu +3H
4x 1/5 Altered Mind and Body +1M
4x 1/6 Return to Southtown +0H
3x 2/4 Demuth's Sponsorship +0L
4x 2/4 Fight or Flight +2M
4x 2/5 Fatherly Love
4x 2/5 Body of Souls
4x 2/5 Trapped in a Nightmare +3H
3x 3/4 Bitter Rivals +2M

Cards in Total: 68

Draw, discard, Hit hard with a Alshain Najm. For the low attack to proceed Alshain Najm I wasn't too sure to either Alphard Maliki, Dash Low or Double Cyclone punch. Dash Low can give my check to the combo attack +2, I can recycle Double Cyclone Punch with body of souls, and the throw is a throw. I traded my white gi's to get a Jon Herr but I still have my Demuth's for momentum generation and if I add Double Cyclone it would be easier to gain some. Well I would really like some suggestions on the deck. Thanks in advance.

I would take out tower of remembrence for two psuedo soul calibur. getting both of those out are sick with algols finisher. As for the low attack i use ivy stuff in my algol and I would recomend them. All of her stuff gives 3cc so thats a plus also they have nifty effects too. I also use algols low throw attack boosting it with fight or flight before the combo kill. Hope this helps and good luck algol is a fun character.

so the throw shall stay in, what would you suggest to take out for Fight or Flight?

i think that either return to southtown or powerful style should go for fight or flight but thats just me i know powerful style is good but when your relying on one card as a finisher as opposed to a few then it makes it less useful and your difficulties are pretty low so you dont need so many low check foundations

Ever considered Rindokan and/or Million Flicker for even more draw?

I HIGHLY suggest Researching the Past.

Especially with Algol. With Researching the Past you can essentially set up your next checks, or the next cards you want to draw. Discarded a card for a check but want it in your hand? Researching the Past to get them to the top of your deck in any order, and then Fatherly Love them back into your hand! Like using Algol's ability to discard your hand but want to keep a few things? Put the cards you want to keep on top and do it all over again!

Experience from playing Algol myself is to abuse the crap out of that combo, however, you definitely should add more cards into your deck. The moment you run into a Flying Power Bomb, it's going to hurt. You really don't need help milling out your deck, considering Algol does it enough.. xD

Also, I'd run Seeking Treasure in there too, just in case you check one of those oh so awesome Psuedo Soul Caliburs. Just add it to your hand!

Algol's a lot of fun, but he definitely takes a lot of tweaking to get right.

Also, not sure what your intentions are on Saikyo-Ryu, but if you're looking at it because of the discarding, it doesn't work toward Alshain Najm. It's a cost unfortunatley, not discarding due to a card effect... :(

.Agol.

3x 5/4 Tag Along
3x 2/5 Kung-Fu Training +1M

1x 3/5 Pseudo-Soul Calibur +3H
1x 3/5 Pseudo-Soul Edge +3L
2x 2/5 Path of the Master +2M

4x 6/3 Kuzuryu Reppa +1H
3x 5/3 Alshain Najm +3H
4x 4/3 Double Cyclone Punch +2L
4x 4/2 Alphard Maliki

4x 0/5 Powerful Style +2M
4x 1/5 Altered Mind and Body +1M
4x 1/6 Return to Southtown +0H
4x 2/4 Visions of Destiny +2M
4x 2/4 Fight or Flight +2M
3x 2/5 Body of Souls
3x 2/5 Fatherly Love
4x 2/5 Flames of Fame +2M
4x 2/5 Trapped in a Nightmare +3H


this is the new version of the deck. Finally got some Flames of Fame and had some room to put it in. I only have one researching the past so they will go in once I get more. I would probably take out fight or flight and move it into the side board. Let me know what you guys think. and I am making it before I crash so let help would be nice.

You have so much draw with Algol, even on your opponent's turn. I would highly consider running Unorthodox Training. Both the foundation and the action side is boss!

That is a nice addition. but what would you suggest to take out for it? Maybe altered Mind? oh and P.S.

Hit on linda like a boss!

id take out 2 altered and a powerful style yeah you lose some of your spam foundations but with that draw power you shouldnt have 2 much of a problem with that
