Lesbian Astrid is for the win. That sentence may have been Marco's finest in his epic rant.

No Wind Dance, bro? It works on most of your attacks (except Pommel Smash and Odin's Wrath), and requires no committing, so you can buff speed and then commit it to pump damage.

If I may make another suggestion, I would go with Experienced Combatant. It commits 2 things, which is great for setup because you can kill with Reversals too, and you don't have any foundation-based committing in the deck. Since you're packing a lot of attacks from Astrid's support, I think Manifest Destiny could also come in handy.

Last, but not least, I'd consider Kung-Fu Training, if only because Tag Along makes Astrid cry.

Why is 2nd Rite in here? It's freakin' terrible. How bout Backhanded Axe Slash, or Ymirfang, or Cleave [which benefits from 1st Rite!]

Well, 2nd. Rite has a few redeeming factors:

1. It has identical block and attack zones, so Wind Dance can pump it for +2 speed (and Astrid isn't really gonna miss the damage).

2. The E is guaranteed if you played 1st. Rite (the attack doesn't have to deal damage), and that E can help you play Astrid's Wolf Strike during your turn.

But if you decide against Wind Dance, I'll side with the waffleman.

Edit: Just noticed it's Block 4 (I feel dumb now). Go with Cleave, bro.

ok then i'll go with cleave. thanks *awesome*
