I am still trying to do something fun with Rock Howard ** and everytime I do its either a All, or and Order vuild or both! I will actually be trying a Life build soon to see where it might go. My question is, is it worth the time to do? I mean all and order have done me VERY well. While the LORD of Maki gone kind of hurt Neo Raging Storm I have found MANY ways to keep the Momentum gain as a solid.
A personal question.
Absolutely, 2.Rocky is fun to build off of Life. Largely it's a question of how competitive you are wanting this deck to be. If you're looking to take this deck to a Regional or Nats, then stick to an All or Order or combination therof build. That said, Life can be a very fun and unexpected symbol. Certainly, Life has a lot of counter-measures against a lot of the current typical builds...
Vs Commital: Torn Hero, Journey of Repentance
Vs Momentum Gen (and I-Spin): Calming the Mind
Vs Finisher Attacks: Rejection
Life also has some very interesting features...
CC Hax: Anti K', Forethought
Speed Pump: Bounce Back (also a form of anti-Rs), Adoration
Committal: Revenant's Calling
The biggest problem with Life has been its lack of finishing attacks, however that is a much lesser worry due to:
Double Ground Beta, Menuette Dance, and Shredding Vibrato for finishers. For some interesting tech take a gander at Tetsu Zanko, and even some of Lu Chen's new reversals.
So, build away!
