Not really, haha

Regardless, I want to make Sogetsu so bad I think I may just piss myself from excitement. I have seriously never been so excited to build a deck in my life. I mainly got this idea from messing around with a crappy Algol deck I made.... 60 cards in Algol is not NEAR enough.. Found that out the hard way.. thanks a lot Shelby... D: Flying Power Bomb and Algol do not go nicely together.. bleh.. xP

Anyway, I was wondering if the whole Fatherly Love + Researching the Past combo would really benifit anyone else other than Algol, and while I was looking through characters on twoheadeddragon I ran across my new love, Sogetsu. I still haven't put him together, mostly due to a lack of the cards, and the fact that High Tide is just stupid expensive on CoolStuff... I'm not really sure whether or not I really need it due to how much drawing I plan on doing anyway, but it would be nice to have..

Here's a rough draft of what I'm planning to do.

Split: 4

High Tide x4

Attacks: 10

Moon Glow x4

Lunar Slash x4

Darkness Blade x2

I think that's it... It's kind of hard for me to keep track of what cards I have when I'm running so many.. Usually run 60 card decks..

Anyway, this is just kind of a rough build, but it has the general idea. Abuse the crap out of Sogetsu's E to get your opponent's hand size as low as possible. Pretty basic stuff. I ran across Take Responsibility totally by accident, but with how many tokens I'm going to be getting out, it just seemed cruel to poor ol' T. Hawk not to put it in there. xD

Anyway, lemme know what you guys think. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. This is really the first time I've ever tried to build a deck like this, so any suggestions would be great.

No comments?

Hey boy, its Shelby =P, just a few suggestions to an otherwise very nice deck. First the hero king, 2 taking responsibilites, 1 shooting capoera, and both seeking treasures should be side board at the most, and personally I would put in physco style and unorthodox style over those, matching 2 symbols and more constantly used abilities. Also drop one TWOP, 3 is plenty. Then, drop moonglow for some Heel Snipes, you have plenty of card draw ability as is =P

Hey man! Yeah, I figured they were a bit much. Some of it I just kinda threw in to try and get my card count up a little bit.

Isn't Unorthodox Style a legacy card? Are you talking about Unorthodox Training?

I didn't think of putting in Heel Snipes in... That's not a bad idea I suppose.. haha. xD

If you have any of this stuff by the way, I'd love to borrow or trade for it or something. I'm wanting to play it on Sunday, but don't know if I'll be able to get the cards in time. D:

He means Unorthodox Training xD

You may want to drop Gorgeous Team. Sounds insane, I know, but hear me out. You've got full sets of Chester's and China Box already, plus Blue Dragon and Natural Leader, so you're going to have quite a few cards that are going to be eating up a lot of difficulty on the staging area side of things. So Gorgeous will only net you foundations from your discard pile, as you is Male. Additionally, since 'getsu doesn't gain tokens from adding to hand, it's a high difficulty card with a meh check that's not going to further your deck's goal nearly enough.

If you want better momentum generation for Void, I'd swap over to White Gi, since it's static and at no cost to you. Additionally, it has an amusing draw ability that goes well with Unorthodox Training and Saikyo. Aim High would also work nicely, since it would allow you to better chain into that Darkness Blade.

O, and Shelby's right - Heel Snipe all the way, dood.

Yeah, I was looking through all this stuff for card effects and totally forgot about my checks... /facepalm

Aim High does look pretty nice, and I was thinking about it, but I guess I can take out Gorgeous Boobies for Aim High...

I just can't stay away from my Mai stuff... you guys should know that by now, haha.

I need to add some more weenie attacks I think though in order to abuse Sogetsu's E a lot more.. Although if I throw Heel Snipe in there it would help immensly I'm sure..

As far as momentum goes.. I don't really know how much I'm going to need it, other than for Lunar Slash...

i really would cut the deck size. with only 5 hs i would sugest you shrink the deck. bad draws happen.

You really don't need more attacks, since the true goal of Sogetsu's enhance is to see the opponent's hand - the discard part is totally irrelevent, and, at this point in time, will actually cost you game two when they side in the anti-discard. The reversal angle is really solid, since it's peeking into their hand on their turn, and compromising their turn. If you want a better attack, you COULD consider switching Lunar Slash for Yugao, since Darkness Blade is all the power you'll ever need. Lunar Slash is a finisher in its own right, but with all the spam enhances you haev, Darkness Blade is going to be a lot more effective.

And yeah, deck size should go waaaaaay down, to the 64-65 range at most. Unlike Algol, he's not going to be milling you out left and right. His pseudo-handsize is deceptive, but you should still respect it. You could, in theory, cut Lunar Slash entirely, as well as all the momentum generation, and add in one more DBlade. That way you still gets lots of power in the attacks, without sacrificing your checks, while still cutting down deck size. However, if you do THAT, then I would highly recommend White Gi, since its static momentum generation will allow you to draw 1 card from the bottom of your deck every turn with Sogetsu's Form.

In order to get more draw power - might I suggest 3x The Bigger They Are? Sogetsu's at a good height for it. Though it's a 4-check and only hits Water...
