The basic kill is chaos flare into any of the other attacks backed up by the ways of punishment, bitter rivals and with a little extra pump from Zi Mei. any thoughts or suggestions?

Has anyone tried a variation of Zi Mei like this one? so far I've only two games under my belt with this build. both matches were against a evil Bishamon build my team mate runs and we split the games we played.

try out melancholic mercurius with Zi Mei its pretty harsh..

True. I had it in my block 2 evil version I had built awhile ago. with the general lack thus far of momentum generation in evil for block 3 I opted for death attacks. I've found the lower average difficulty to be quite palatable thus far.

Dude your about to make me change my deck around cause I run a fire/death Zi-Mei.

My first suggestion... make the checks suck less hard. . 12x 2cc and 7x 3cc just makes me want to crawl under a blanket when I imagine how T1 and 2 go, especially with only 1 or 0 difficulty foundations and only Mentoring for 0-drops at all. Sure you're making Realm of Midnight more effective... but you're also making playing foundations much harder. I'd cut Rera Kishima for Ichi no Tachi, and Tsurane Kiri for Preventing the Curse or maybe Sazan (synergy with Zi Mei, and their hand should be depleted anyway).

On your foundations, I'd just add some 1s -- Glare from the Abyss is an obvious choice to combine with Ways of Punishment [maybe over Iga Legacy with fewer high-diff attacks?], or The Anti K' which serves both as a great tempo piece and a spam foundation in a pinch.

I probably will change the foundation base a little to accomadate some lower cost foundations. I forgot about hte anti 'K. that one will likely make it into the deck. thanks.

A friend of mine made an Instant Hell Murder 1-check deck with her, and it's pretty frightening to play against. It can certainly be tempermental, but when she decides to win it's pretty much lights out by T2. Evil/Fire is the symbol spread of choice with her, no doubt.

id say cut evil plans and oral dead and move them to the sb and 3 bitter rivals is enough personally realm of midnight is one of my fav cards right now so id maybe run 4 of them also dont forget that you can play manifest destiny its so good in block 3 1/4 fits ideally with zi-mei also. if you fnd you have room for some death cards in here inhuman perception is freaking sweet.

alltogether tho ricki your a talented deck builder and player and you have to play what your comfortable running. a few 1 drops would help you out but never forget zi-mei lives off of low checks
