Seeing Vik post a deck inspired me to follow, I am going to blow it up big and show everyone how you run a King deck, and how awesome he is. He is pretty badass. He doesn't afraid of Rashotep, he doesn't afraid of Astrid, and he laughs at James Hata. I've spent two full days playing with it and tweaking back and forth and now have it in what I think is crazy form. He's not exactly defensive, but he has way too much damage. Even if you block a 31 damage throw, you're still taking 16 to the grill.

Pretty much, the main premise of the deck is to abuse Path of the Master along with King's F to play like two attacks, then other cards that match the symbols of King, and then SHAZAM! What's up insane attack? Play two Base Holds and then some foundations, and then Drop a Crushing Embrace of the Jotun. That's +4 Speed and +6 Damage to a THROW.

A THROW. This guy is crazy, and probably the best. Any concerns or comments?

Hey, you stole this deck from Leon D'Angerouse!

Looks solid, really not much to comment on. Interesting choice with Base Hold and Sa. do they work for you?

I don't know why people refuse to play Sa at all. I mean, it's a good solid block, that can eliminate block altogether with it's enhances. Am I the only one who see's this card's potential?

Base Hold does the same thing too, and it's pretty awesome. Plus, the two symbols match for Path of the Master. It's pretty ****.

I agree, both cards are excellent, just wondering how effective they are and whether they are worth slotting 8 actions where some more controllish foundations might work better.

Sorry to disappoint, but I run Base Hold in my King deck too, and I'm pretty sure it says "F: If the next card you play is an attack, it gets +3 damage and +2 speed ." Surely they don't stack, because the next card would be the next Base Hold?

If that's the case, then I am going to have to pull two of them out and throw in a few different things. Good catch man, thanks!

Or more controllerish actions.

Zero "No Forgiveness!" in a throw deck? Wat.
