Ok so heres the deal, Ive been proxying spinning beat since it was previewed in SOTG. The deck is devistaing already but i think theres room for improvements. Heres the thoughs:

Right now the deck can win off of my opponent playing as few as one foudation if that allows me to play buddhist devotion. Even off of one foundation buddist can get me kill pieces in play and i can copy the founation with lynettes if only to pass checks.

Most cards are self explanitory, Side harp is mostly in because its split half is a solid multiple attack on good that can lead into spinning beat but additonally its asset side can help make multiples that arent feline spike get pushed through past Itchi no tachi and Fatal Disruptor. Shooting Capoera is mostly just in to help ready combo pieces that may get committed along the way but also to help ready Soul of Ling-Shueng Su to pass the 8 and 9 checks you need to make to pass another multiple or to ready natural leader for more momentum in case makai isnt in play.

POSSIBLE CHANGES

The more I look at hidden beastly powers the more i slowly fall in love with it. Its like having 4 more budhhist devotions in the deck, can be spammed if i have to go first, matches all 3 symbols, and has a +0 high block for counter spikes too boot. My only problem with it is that since its an E: that has to happen during an attack and it has the normally play restriction on it i can only play good foundations (or water in the case of spike being my attack) so I'm wary to put it in as the only foundation in my deck that plays off good is buddhist and the one Giradots, neither of which will be useful to me during an attack. I may add other foundations with good on them if i can discover ones that make sence for this build and then use the hidden beastlys.

Sideboard is still a mystery to me. i know the 4th rejections should be there, but as for what else Im not sure. Red lotus comes to mind but as of now i have not found too many uses for it because of how aggressive this build is. KFT also is a possibility. Yoga adept is nice but i think i would have to heavily modify the foundation base because of it only having all in common with my characters and that can prevent me from playing certian cards.

Have you thought of adding in ** j.talbain ** to increase your handsize?

I've yet to get into a situation where the 6 check from the 9hs characters benifits would outweigh its risks. This deck has the habit of winning very early and as a result for a character merge to really make sence I would be looking at passing the 6 check for him turn 1. If i can pass the check for that I can most likley pass the check on a spike and put some damage on the table. I think the +1 HS from pigeon games for a 2 check is much more efficent, and even that i dont need it too often.

For the same reason I'm not using Fight or Flight, typically speaking i win before needing a moon token on the non moon token turn.
