There. You can use the Warrior's Paths, Gut Drills, Tie Lei Iron Thunders, Unstoppable Convictions, Recons and Soul Waves that have been sitting gathering dust in your card storage place of preference.
But, as I have ALWAYS said since anti-discard has come into being, the cards that have anti-discard properties NEED TO HAVE OTHER ABILITIES THAT ARE WORTH PLAYING!
Now, sure, Gut Drill and Soul Wave do exactly that, and Paul P just loves facing off against Yoshi. However, almost none of those I'd regularly run in any deck, which goes to show how much I cared about them til Yoshi.
As for Taki, I has a declaration:
Foundation-less Taki = stupid. Your low speed less-than-3-diff attacks WILL be blocked, and even if you generate foundations, um, hello: you're going to be checking 3s more often than not! Good luck stringing attacks when you can barely check high.
You're going to run Taki like any other character: with only the most amazing foundations you can. Why? Because they're amazing. The whole point of Taki's F is that intelligent strategy behind it. You only use it when you know you have to snipe their problematic cards, and when you know them doing the same to you won't be of big enough significance (similar to why such cards as Stand Off, Financial Troubles, and For the Money are ran).
Also, I'm fairly certain Taki's support will involve adding face-down cards to your hand or re-using them in some way.
