2x Destruction In His Wake (Chaos,Death, Evil)

I really think i need to go one symbol or the other so someone tell me which is the better side of the fence here i cant decide....and what to run off of those symbols specially in the new set because ive only been to the pre-release so im not too familiar with it yet.

Also Blocks are nice suggestions on how to get more of those in here would help as well

Not Enough attacks:

you should consider:

Leg slash

Flooded nile throw

etc.

yeah i thought about adding more attacks but none really peaked my interest....hmmm maybe ill see what the new set holds and go from there

The new set brings many goodies from Nina Williams* ; she packs two very solid attacks that can run with your Combo sequence in Shockwave Palm and Wipe the Floor , and they both pack discard (yay!). Professional Bodyguard and Sworn to Protect can both help enemy attacks from eating your face, and Unknown Son offers more RFG -sauce to fuel Zhao Daiyu** 's burn R . Kazuya Mishima* also brings you some useful stuff, apart from what you're already using; Vengeance offers a more defensive way of making things go 'boom', and G-Corp Leader can fish stuff you've blown up back to your hand (for a price).

yeah i like the discard idea to make sure my combo hits i think i have a playset of wipe the floors that i got in the pre-release as for the shockwave palms its going to take a little bit more to get those

as for resources should i got all death or all chaos? or is it ok the way it is now?

I would go all Death , no question. Nina and Kazuya have plenty to offer you, and if you can avoid foundation splashing, you don't need to keep a mental tally of what cards you can and can't play this turn (apart from the fact that Lu Chen 's "bring that up to the card pool" stuff won't stop your turn cold).

should i still splash body of souls? its just too good at keeping the loop going that its hard to cut it

I don't think one splashed foundation will hurt you that much; try it out and see. I can definitely see where you're coming from in that regard, Body of Souls works wonders for any Combo sequence.

Consider master of magic and ymirfang combo. I think that death is a good start with Zhao. My problem is that I couldn't get her to beat my friends deck. Got schooled by Temijen, Ivy, and Ragnar. The problem is no card draw after attacking. The damage pumps from death are ok but they are sort of weak. But i found Mesermizing dance to be useful.

Doesn't Unknown Son work better than Forbidden Lore?

Only in every way.

Forbidden Lore, I guess, would let you RFG something if you were to Reversal or something, but Zhou's symbols don't scream reversal. Unknown Son lets you use it on your attacks. 2 Rings, RFG the Block during a Wipe the Floor, then drop a Twinkie for more RFG.

Wonderworld Warriors is so sick with Zhao, but you'd have to put the deck on Evil (main or splashed) to play it. It might be worth it, but of course you'll need to get some copies first...

TBH I don't think you need Body of Souls, not badly enough to splash it. It'd be nice to play Leg Slash or whatever as a poke, then have it sitting in momentum ready for you to retrieve when you actually want to play the combo, but think about it -- if your entire combo is full blocked , they lose 2 vitality and 5 cards of your choice from their staging area. If they block the first parts and eat the Twinkie directly, that's 7 cards and 11 vitality. Unless they already knocked you down to 5 vitality and can play a 10dmg throw next turn, chances are very good you're going to win the game. Body of Souls is just a "win more" card -- it's only marginally useful until you have already connected with a Twinkie, and once you have you're at a massive advantage anyway.

Invoking the Ancients seems rather janky to me, sure it's 2 damage if they fail a check but then your deck is almost 50% non-foundation cards, and you need some serious foundations on the board to help pass the Twinkie Hug Wake combo.

Thanks for all the ideas keep them coming i think that i am going to go all death except for maybe splashing body of soul or maybe keep communing i dont know ill have to playtest the deck first and see how it goes but im goin 2 edit it right now with my changes let me know what you think

I upped Treacherous offspring to 4 since i need more cards to chain off of chaos for this and it lets me get a key attack into my momentum so i can fish it out later incase i cant draw them

took out the invoking because they didnt work as well as i thought they would

and forbidden lore does work on your turn your turn your opponent just has to block with a non attack cards...and we all know how blocks on those are nowadays......

Changes made to the deck added in Intimidating Presence and vengeance and changed the numbers around

Should i take out path for Wonderworlds or should i play both if so what should i take out for them

I want to make this deck competitive since everyone thinks that zhao is bottom-tier or that she doesnt have the tools to make a good deck right now

I would definitely run the wonderworld's over the paths. I would also try to work in 1 more cursed blood and 1 more unknown son and probably take out body of souls.
