THE CHALLENGE - You must rekindle my interest for UFS.

TIMEFRAME - From now until I go to sleep later tonight because by then I won't have a deck to bring to our night of playing tomorrow.

BUT WHY? - Because an increasingly stale metagame as well as fewer people even willing to explore and a plethora of other factors has made this particularly painful to even consider playing. Couple to that that the only place that carries the stuff is a 30 minute drive and I am broke as hell (so less gas to drive there) means that UFS is VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY low on my list of hobbies (it currently stands between spending all my time on the interwebz which I am forced to do at work between two customers and emasculating myself hoping it will force a sex change). So yeah.

YOUR RESOURCES - A playset of Yi Shan's super rare attacks, and various other cards here and there.

OFF-LIMITS - Anything that's currently considered "stale" in the meta.

Ummm let's see.

I got two options. Seeing if there are more bans other than Spiral Arrow in July, and Legacy.

Build Leona off of Earth and Life. (i.e. don't use bitter rivals)

Everytime I build Leona (like 10+ times now) I realize why I love building UFS decks, it is meticulous and fun researching cards that interact with one another, with Leona your attacks need to share zones and symbols, it is fun to id the best zone for attacks for a symbol.

Her agro style is even more fun! Be sure to run plenty of actions (definately kung-fu for rejection, any of the new damage pump actions from shan, genocide if you go earth attacks!!!) and spammable foundations.

Build one turn, kill, kill, kill. She is UFS at it's finest!!!

Worst case, you will kill or be killed. So you will have fun . With 14 life... Only a Gill lock won't attack you on second turn ^^

Build a deck that wins in the old fashion way. It dosent lock, its not a combo, and its not OHK. It's build and then force your opponenet to trade blows with you. For extra points do it on life.

Another way to have fun is what I call random-play. Choose a symbol, go to 2 headed, random number generator yourself 30 foundations, 20 attacks, 6 actions and 4 assets.

Look at what you got, and then choose a character!!! Also, don't pick a character that you consider universally stale. Pick a character that goes well with your random cards.

Better yet, have your whole playgroup do this with the same symbol (they can choose different characters).

Then play! You will definately learn something about different strategies that said symbol can run, and ones that aren't commonly used or are considered stale.

- dut

ps. random number the # of cards you run too. i.e. you random number Fast Food Eater when finding an all Foundation. Now randomize the number of it your will run, i.e. 1-4. Do this until you have 30 foundations. Chances are you will be playing with 15 different foundations at least, probably more. Same for attacks and actions.

Build Remy off of Ragnar's stuff so you have "Emo the Barbarian"

Or _ I cut myself... Now I'm Angry!

Antigoth said:

After the Canadian Nationals I swore off Remy forever.

Also, I don't have Ragnar Starters and my purchasing power is at an all time low. Otherwise I'd probably try Ivy of Punishment.

Felicia with Yi Shan attacks?

We just made a great Mitsurugi deck... Sure laugh... but when it wipes you off the board turn 2.... well you won't laugh as much... Its fun to play... and costs like $40 maybe for the whole Deck.

Mistu-(9?)The legal one...lol

1x Mistsu

Mo Gainers:
4x King of Fighters 2006
4x N Type Human
4x Military Combat Arts
4x Dancing Battle Kabuki

Control/Anti-Control
4x Clean Freak
4x Red Lotus of the Sun

Aggro Boosts
4x Her Own Agenda
4x Feelings of Friendship
4x Autumns Kiss

Attacks
4x Evil Illusion Slam
4x Wicked Chew
4x Rolling Buckler Upercut
4x Execution Right First Tech

At this point we have room for 2 more sets of 4x of a card… this is where you have to choose your poison. These are cards I like in the deck, in no particular order

4x Fury of the Ancients (costly... but it would work)

4x Hurricane Kick ( remember that you can play a execution tech right before this, as they both have fire… Tap them, kill them)
4x Zi Mei Whell Kick (not a lot of dmg, but does slow them down on being able to block or do much
4x Soul of Ling Sheng Su (more 6 checks… but situational boost, where our deck doesn’t need much to play our attacks- with another 2 in the deck… seems better)
4x Savage Fighter
4x that one foundation with mitsu chopping a tree in half….
4x Something else you think of, that I do not…

After playtesting... it doesn't really need cleanfreak for a lot... so that could go. With the amount of people running CC hax I would look into something to counter it...

Lord Aries said:

i really dont know about the 40$ thing when i got my clean freaks they were 6 bucks a piece and im sure that KOF 06 isnt exactly cheap either

Well you don't need the cleanfreaks... we tested it and it didn't help a ton...

ANd KOF2006 is now cheap, because they released a million in those super packs FFG released with promos and packs for $50... everyone i know bought at least 1... meaning they have 2 KOF2006... so shouldn't be hard to trade for.

Because gaming is a Social Event... And you'll just become a cellar dwellar... And pale... And boring... And so un-hatman....

And cause Shajir said he's not playing order no more after Nats... So come down to the 'Shwa with more people for a fun weekend...

Characters:
1x ::Felicia:: 6/6 +0M (Air/Good/Water)

Attacks:
4x Striking Thunder 5/3 (Water)
4x Yi-Shan's Tiger Claw 4/3 +3H Stun:1 (Water)
4x Wingless Aeroplane 6/3 Throw (Water)
2x Big Cyclone 7/2 +1H Ranged (Good/Water)
2x Harrier Bee 5/2 Kick ()

Assets:
4x Lynette's Shop 3/6 +1M (Infinity)

Actions:
4x Tag Along 5/4 (Air/Water)
4x Tieh Lei, Iron Thunder 2/5 +1H (Water)

Split:
4x Omnidirectional Cluster Bomb 5/3/4 +1M (Water)
2x Ayame's Scarf 3/5/3 +2M (Good/Water)

Foundations:
4x Program Malfunction 3/5 +1M (Water)
4x Shooting Capoera 2/4 +2M (Air/Water)
4x Alluring Beauty 1/4 +2L (Water)
4x Soul of Ling-Sheng Su 2/6 +2H (Air/Water)
4x Aquakenisis 1/5 +3H (Water)
4x Empire's Ruin 1/5 +2M (Good/Water)
3x Tenacious 2/5 +1M (Water)
3x The Bigger they Are 2/4 +3M (Water)

just a deck idea I wanted to play. Basically use Felicia, who abuses the crap out of Yi-Shan's attacks more then he does, and then use Tieh Lei to stuff Harrier Bee's into my momentum. Totally aggressive deck and ignores the use of Battle Prowess or Rejection, could maybe use KFT, but kind of amusing. Tenacious could be replaced, as could maybe the bigger they are, but those were there as a concession to "oh crap, I need to hold onto my one Wingless because I haven't drawn any moves."

the only pack rare is Ayame's Scarf, Lynette's are a pretty easy promo to borrow etc. so it's cheap too dunno if this will help your UFS blues, but if you're feeling down about the game, nothing wrong with taking a break, maybe wait to see what comes out in tekken, and if you want to still play but are poor, mooch the crap out of things. Hell, I almost got a playset of every card of Zhao Daiyu's stuff (including her URs and Rares) at the pre-release for free minus the tournament entry fee.

Do what this guy did except add Master's Challenge. Nothing is more Balla than using a form action to add 2 cards to both players pools, clear it with Felicia netting 3 momentum, and unleashing hell in the form of multiples.

Morning Demon said:

Heh honestly if I didn't work weekends that would be in my plans. I also have to crash René's place at one point eventually too.

****'s getting banned

Hatman, play Death aggro. It's fun and inexpensive... All Life is Prey can go places with Buddhist, Intimidating Presence, Shadow Blade, Soul of the Beast (the 3/3 Basara attack)...
