Block 4 - Nightmare w/ Death

By Saikyun, in UFS Deck Building

Hello, this is the first time I post a decklist here, I guess comments in general would be nice. I haven't been using it for very long, but I think it's getting better and better. I guess I have too many attacks, but it feels like it's alright when I'm playing. Often I'm a lot more annoyed about getting too few attacks rather than checking too many attacks. I haven't gotten to try some of the cards (like Tower of Rememberance), since I just ordered them.

The main thing I'm unsure about is if I should run Chasing After the Power (haven't tried it yet) or not. I really like the card, but since Backhand Axe Slash & Flooded-Nile Throw are both rather important and good, I'm not sure if it's worth splashing for evil.

Character: (1x)
1x Nightmare

Attacks: (22x)
4x Backhand Axe Slash
4x Leg Slash
4x Zhao Daiyu's Poison Touch
3x Soul Smasher

4x Dark Bite
3x Flooded-Nile Throw

Assets: (4x)
2x Scroll of the Abyss
2x Tower of Rememberance

Actions: (4x)
4x Invoking the Ancients

Foundations: (30x)
4x Intimidating Presence
4x Corrupting Force
4x The Azure Knight

3x Memories that Stain its Armor
4x Intolerant of Failure

3x All Life is Prey
4x Her Own Agenda
4x The Master of Ostrheinsburg

What I do is just trying to keep the number of resources low with Nightmare, Intimidating Presence and Corrupting Force. The Azure Knight gives +5 damage most of the time, which is kind of nice with the throws, so I often get to use Nightmare's ability. The throws are also nice with Intimidating Presence.

Are people running healing cards where you play? The only healing is Tira's cards. Drop flooded nile throw. It doesn't serve you because you really depend on ranged attacks.

Well, one of those I'm playing with aren't really playing block 4, so I just have them for that I guess. Also, I don't really have any better foundation. It's also practical, because it often gives me something to sacrifice. Haha :P

Why should I drop the throw? It deals 4 damage with difficulty 4 and control 3, and it's even a block. :< The problem I've found with this deck is that my attacks are often blocked, so 7x throws are nice.

Yea,, some in our playgroup still havent gotten so many b4 cards and they are still running battle prowess and the like... really fun to see their reaction when you react and make them loose that vitality instead ^^

Nile throw buffs range attacks and you don't have any. One thing you might want to think about is master of magic. Because your really not using momentum to much. You are better off with foundation you can blow up without loosing anything you need. Then use Yimfang for damage pump.

Nile throw is still a nice throw even if you are not playing a ranged themed deck.. 4 base damage and quite cheap to play :)

Oh yeah think about upper claw. Its a good attack.

I agree with Master of Magic. Free foundations are good!

You might want to add some cheaper foundations, just to help you pass all the control checks. Brooding comes to mind -- 1 difficulty, 5 control, +3H block, and it doesn't even commit for its ability :D

I don't really thing 2 control check is worth it >_< Master of Magic might be a good idea thought.

@Wafflecopter: Yeah, I've thought about it myself. Maybe I should go for it. :)

4 Master of Magic makes checks less of an issue. There is also unnatural grace.

Well, I will be using Master of Magic to get resources to sacrifice, not to gather up on. And I don't feel that I want to add any attack (possibly another Nile throw), and I feel that all the attacks I use are already more usefull =/ Unnatural Grace could be useful, but isn't that better when going for 1tks and such? :)

Go check out the card Tekken forces, might be insane in this deck.

sshhhh, I don't want to have to fight for mine Sean... after I have 2 or 3 you can spread the word :]

I definitely vote no on Unnatural Grace -- when you have it in hand, you're effectively a 5HS character (meaning you can't play attacks OR foundations as well, nor hold as many blocks). And you can't plan your deck with the assumption that you'll be able to use it, because what happens when you don't draw it?

I already have mine, so I'm spreading the word now lol. Can finally play the nightmare deck now that tekken is out.

You can blow up commited foundations so you can make checks with them and then blow them up when your done.

Yeah, I guess Tekken Forces would be nice, if I'd be able to get the card. :)
