So with the floodgates open, here is my first bit with Sophitia, off of Life:
Sophitia x1
Attacks
- 4x Close Throw
- 4x Yi Shan's Tiger Claw
- 4x Seal
- 4x Waterfall
- 4x Oratorio Halcyon
Assets
- 3x Eiserne Drossel
- 2x Ice Coffin of the Sleeping Ancient
Actions
- 3x Acrobatics
Foundations
- 4x Finding Happiness
- 4x Just Kidding
- 3x Needs a Challenge
- 4x The Strength Within
- 4x Genius Alchemist
- 4x Keeper of the Watchers
- 4x Torn Hero
- 4x Memories of a Nightmare
- 4x Regretful Existence
Basic idea is to hammer in the damage. High amounts of 1 Difficulty foundations means good building, plenty of fodder for Sophitia's ability. Speed and hand revealing is also key, as preventing them from blocking things like Oratorio and Tiger Claw will really have the damage building. Seal is a good attack, letting me drop easy, fast attacks early, or start off the Waterfall Combo with a great base for Ice Coffin.
Basic Attack Lineup:
Close Throw -> Seal -> Oratorio -> Oratorio
Seal -> Oratorio -> Waterfall
Seal -> Tiger Claw (With Ice Coffin)
Acrobatics after Sophitia's E for damage instead of speed.
Weaknesses with a deck like this start off with draw power. I may switch in some Hunt for Jin and Researching the Past if I find the deck is needing it, but I want aggro to start. Sophitia's Speed redux can really help in the defense department, but with the influx of discard, holding on to cards may be a problem. I might start looking into a few Kick options, to try and abuse Sophitia's E and Searching for Family for an early game kill.
