Kisheri has caught my eye. I have been toying with a life build and contemplating a death build. The builds have completely different focus. Life has quite a few tricks that reveal cards from your opponents hand where as death has more destruction and general control.
Her biggest hurdle i faced while playtesting vs a Steve Fox punch deck was Gut Drill. Off death i am contemplating Lethal Fighting Style to make them have to ditch a 2nd card to play gut drill. Making the opponent hold a gut drill + another card will at least slow them down...
Here are a few tricks i have been using off life
Keeper of the Watchers: Speed pump + i get to look at a card from my opponents hand, and react with a forced discard.
Just Kidding: See above.
Needs a Challenge: Reveal a card, react with Kisheri, and I get to change the attack zone
Taio Wu Kick: Reveals a card...and a +1M block....good times
Just that gives 16/59 cards that reveal a card from the opponents hand and sets up Kisheri..thats just over 25%.
The only downside with a life build is i lack Menuet Dance and it makes the kill a bit difficult.
Off death you get Yoshi's Support for more discard, or Nightmares support for more disruption. Also cursed blood for build speed. And Nina for more discard.
Also in death the attack base is a lot stronger. You can still use Menuett Dance, but there are other options as well.
I will most likely do a death build, and settle on a dual symbol.
Anyone else have any ideas/tricks for Kisheri?
Maybe a way besides flexible body to not die so quickly...Kisquishee dies easily at 7/18
