ivy

4 genius alcemist
4 journey of repentance
4 keeper of the watchers
4 perfect sense of balance
4 purified body
4 researching anywhere
4 shattered persona
4 torn hero

4 switching weapon styles

2 eiserne drossel
3 o castle - twilight
2 robes of the grandmaster

4 cross madness
3 howling spirits
3 raging gnome
3 swing kick
3 venom slash

Basically, you draw cross madness and switching weapon styles with a few foundations and OC-twilight, speed pump the crap out of cross madness and draw 2, then proceed to attack like no tomorrow and draw every attack in the deck in one turn. Also I need to mention that this only works if you have alcemist in play to hit SWS to neg the +1 progressive.

And people think life sucks.................hahaha

Not anymore, it doesn't. Block 4 has brought the greatest sense of parity to UFS since, well... ever.

How about Lowdown Neb as an alternate finishing move to Raging Gnome? Sure, it isn't 3 diff (HERESY!!!), but it gives that second copy of Genius Alchemist something to do on kill turn, and it can be absolutely devastating (even more so than the Gnome) after one of those chains, and you still get to draw with Ivy's R, unlike with the Gnome (it technically only deals 1 damage). I think it's an interesting option.

I think you're going to have trouble drawing enough attacks, even if you go off. 16 is wayyyy too few for Ivy, it's not worth the higher control checks if you can't put together a kill string before turn 4 or something ridiculous like that.

^^ what he said. A friend of mine has an Ivy deck with 24 attacks and still has difficulties stringing attacks together, other than that the deck looks pretty strong.

If yuou were running a more themed deck, I'd say consider dual symboling for Temporary Being and Fatherly Love. Fatherly Love gets you draw (risky draw, but believe me it's worth it). Temporary Being lets you spam a non-important low-diff foundation (only to blow it up later and play what you REALLY wanted), or can draw 2 and discard 1.

Since it's off of Life and you need either more attacks or draw (or both), why are you not running Artificial Soul?

And where's your **** RAZOR'S BITE!? Why would you rely on blindly drawing 2 cards, when you know the next card is not an attack? GET TO IT lol

And uh why 16 attacks? NEED MOAR RAZOR'S BITE NAO!
