ok, get the 2nd turn kill or you definitely won't be stunning enough to matter

MarcoPulleaux said:

You mean a deck full of stun that will get wrecked by Blood Runs True and the Red Lotuses protecting them?

Tagrineth said:

Which means banking on Phoenix Smasher (hey if you're using Paul... why not?)

Which means banking on the fact that that enhance will get negated/Holding Ground'd/etc.

Cause that's his worst punch

Im with shaneth on this... phoeni smasher is his worse punch.
I have an all paul deck and I don't use it. How much power do you get from the combo e:? maybe 4-5 after tapping 2 foundations???
Not sure if it's worth it... I'd rather use turn thruster... it's easier to play and it has matches paul for PotM.

So does the Smasher last I checked but I'm not a Paul expert.

Honestly the character Combos have failed this time around... and failed badly. Anyone running the DDT with the Combo? The Smasher? The Lightning Uppercut (when I ran Kazuya, I did, and it worked decent but it's bad when "decent" is the only good character Combo).

I don't believe in any Paul deck without Turn Thruster , to be honest. But yeah, I've been thinking that Hammer of the Gods trumps Phoenix Smasher because of sheer flexibility, without losing all that much power. It's a great leadoff hit, it can finish fights, and it has no dependency on anything else to make it go, except, ya know, a foundation in hand.

The intent with the Smasher, I thought, was always HotG into TT into Smasher. From a design standpoint, of course.

Wtf? Wow, I guess nobody here ever Wheel Kicked their way into a Phoenix Smasher? =/

But really, it doesn't matter; once tapped, Paul's got somethin that's gonna GRROOOOOOIIIIYYYYAAAH!

MarcoPulleaux said:

Seen it happen. The Smasher gets stopped easy.

Not only that, but drawing more than 1 Smasher in a turn just BLOWS, especially when you don't draw any other attacks and FT gets canceled T_T...

I'll probably run them both, since it's easy to make the room for them, but if I gotta pick one, the Smasher will probably be the one to go...
