Sure, this is fine. Preliminary King off of Good. Path combined with Loves to Talk (that's what the Master's Challenge and Warrior Poet's purpose is), then King's ability to play a Cobra Twist or Flinging Half Nelson (Good needs more throws lol), or use a throw, then Nursing a Grudge to fetch another throw, or From the Mouse, which lets you recycle your momentum to hand when an attack deals damage.

Now, need sleep.

I really like this!!! Good needs more love. But what it has, you have in here. L et us know how it does, try testing it against the Earth King, and note the strengths you find it may have.

I believe facedown cards generated by warrior poet and master's challege does not have symbols to add to PoTM dmg pump. however, try adding in
trained far and wide and loves to talk. After playing a free attack, just combo your attacks for no progressive with trained far and wide while pumping with w/e pumps you have + loves to talk. Of course before thatfill up both card pools . I have been thinking about a "good" king deck for a while.

Wtf, Love to Talk has a use? Wow, I never thought I'd see the day.

Awesome idea Alex. Far out.

Actually the face down cards in my card pool aren't for PotM, maybe I phrased that sentence wrong. It's for Loves to Talk exclusively. If no face down cards can be placed, spam your hand out then Path. If Warrior Poet is out, spam hand out, put face down cards THEN use King's F to yoink Cobra Twist or Flinging Half Nelson, then PotM AND Loves to Talk.

I had considered Trained Far and Wide and thought "nah, I won't have that many Combo attacks" but I obviously do. It was like 3AM and I was slightly intoxicated, don't tell anyone.

Let's say you don't have any attacks at all. With the low diff foundations, it would be best to do those first. Then pass a Master's Challenge, which is the hardest part, clog up the card pool in both sides, then in that case any throw will get +8 damage from a single copy of Loves to Talk, and God knows how much from Path (slightly more, let's say +10 or so since it doesn't count the face downs but there is enough King and Siegfried stuff) so a +18 damage throw is nice. You may only need to make (with a nice low diff hand) 2,3,3,3,4,8, which is sadly enough possible turn 2 or 3 lol

Why not run Cursed Blood? It's one of the very few reasons to run Good over Earth and Life...

Wow, this actually looks better than my Earth Build. My Earth King struggles against Lu Chen cause he screws up combos, whereas it looks like this one creams him big time!

May I propose adding in Chi Disrupter. You can reduce damage with enemies now friends on your opponents attack then light them up with the reversal.

I love it. Chi Disruptor to half block something (or block a throw), play itself as a reversal.

I'm actually building this deck later today so I'll update you all on how well it did (or didn't do) against an Earth iteration.

Very odd deck.

Effective, just very odd.

I was compelled to take out Konvict Kick since it's the only attack without Combo, but this is sort of what it does:

Foundation, foundation, foundation, foundation, Master's Challenge, face down card, face down card, face down card from Warrior Poet

Use Trained Far and Wide (decided to use it over The Entertainer), play any attack with no progressive.

King's F, get a throw that combos (Flinging Half Nelson is best). If another Trained Far and Wide is ready, Nursing a Grudge.

Then commit the Trained Far and Wide to play the throw you just got with Nursing a Grudge with no progressive, play it, use whatever Combo E, +8 damage from each Loves to Talk, +15 or so damage from Path.

I was thinking you could use Hope for One's People for more 0 difficulty foundation spams, thus helping your PotM/Loves to Talk.

Was also thinking for lulz with PotM, you could use Siegfried's foundations that add symbols onto your character (I think Needs no Ally and Chosen By Soul Calibur do that...)

I thought of the Siegfried foundations that add symbols, but decided against them in favor of Trained Far and Wide. I haven't changed the list here to reflect my most recent changes, but among those, Konvict Kick and the Rashotep throw are gone. I decided to only run Combo attacks and Trained Far and Wide helps with that. Between Nursing a Grudge and Mouse Humility I have enough recursion of my existing attacks.

I am not using The Entertainer either.

Good call on Hope. I should've thought of that card when I thought of Good foundation spam.
