Jin - can decide

By Protoaddict, in UFS Deck Building

Ok so here's V1 of my new Jin deck.

4 Jin

4 Pommel Smash
4 Fury of the Ancients
3 Fierce Twin Slash

4 Ascending Zephyrs

4 Brooding
4 Hope for Ones People
4 Communing with the ancients
4 Shadowar
4 Solitary Assassin
4 Laughable
4 Standoff
4 In search of plunder

2 Path of the master
1 Glanzende Nova and Frischer Himmel
1 Autumn's Kiss
1 Armor of the forsaken One
1 Crown of the forgotten Secret
2 Wonderwold Comics
1 Wonderworld Warriors

So some notes:

  • Splashing alot of uniques in small doses. All do something useful but with my 6 HS and limited draw I dont want to have dead cards. the only uniques that I have more than one of are basicly win conditions.
  • I literally only have 2 weapon cards in the deck for Fierce twin slash's E. I wanted to go with more but i didnt think the risk payed off. Right now i could run Claws of Chian Tang, Reaver's Axe, Valkynsverd, Valkyrja's Shield, Wandering Dragon Staff, or Ymirfang and they would all sorta make sense, but the foundation base is already a bit low and all of that would be just to get +4 dam on one attack.
  • On the fence about in search of plunder. If there was another 1/5 or 0 drop worth their salt i might run it but i dont think there is anymore.
  • Using as much damage redux as my symbol (fire) allows. Recognizing i will almost never be able to stop a hildie bomb by blocking, this is the only way to contend i think.
  • Heir to the storm maybe?
  • Was considering playing him off chaos running 2 checks with minuette dance and curse of the ancient mariner, but i felt like this version has more staying power and better set up with less risk of rolling a 2.
  • Thinking of dropping 1 pommel smash. I usually don't need more than 1.

So. Thoughts?

I give you props for using laughable. That at least shows how you are willing to go all out in an attack.

Mark of the Beast wouldn't be a bad idea, I think. Hate on those Furies, Menuett Dances and 3rd Rites. Sideboard material at the very least...

I'd want to make room for Envoy of the Queen or something as a low block, too, unless I'm missing one that's already there.

I hope you bring it tonight, I want to see it in action, even against my own build. Gonna wonder how those 1 off uniques will work.

I like a lot of the ideas you have(Zeypher/wonderworld in laughable is super clever), but this deck will really suffer heavily to Death decks and to a lesser extent earth/void decks, Valued but not Trusted, Undisputed Ruler, and The Devil Wtihin will all really screw with your deck with you really having great way's to deal with them (pommel smash for undisputed/valued assuming they don't have torn hero or Perfect Sense, tho perfect sense won't stop it). In sideboard you should consider something to replace fury of the ancients with to up your single attack/non keyword dependant damage, something like Mark of the beast(which makes a ton of sense in this deck main or side) and Midnight Launcher perhaps, neither relies on keywords, both check 3's and fit nicely.

I'd recommend Mark over Midnight Launcher in this case, since he has a good chunk of momentum gen, it can usually come faster, stronger, with a block, no attack needed in the pool, and good defensive effect. The con being Midnight Launcher shares another symbol and is off zone.
