1] I have none of the new Crazy Buffalo. ![]()
It all starts off with Monster Lariat with Sting Like a Bee out with plenty of momentum to fuel it. Ready for Anything helps a lot, since I do believe you can use it's E on the first attack you have, am I right? And if it deals damage, just play a foundation after every attack and not only do you draw a card, you fulfill the requirements for Ready for Anything.
Former Champion states "After you're done punching your opponent to death, if they're still alive, do it again next turn."
American Made/Powerful Style rock in this deck.
Free damage pumps/vitality gain is alway a good thing.
Fun times.
They Said They Liked My Gigaton Punch...
You might consider a pair of Bitter Rivals, some Chester's Backing, and Oral Dead with Red Lotus. I don't think you'd need four Former Champions...and no copies of Thug? =O
Chop would be great with Ready for Anything. Punchin Bag is a sweet spam attack, especially with RfA making pretty much everything ridiculously strong.
Kung-Fu Training seems almost a requirement these days =/
Looks pretty good, though. I LOVE the new Balrog!
HE GOT PAID
I'd love to add all of those in, but here's the thing; they don't share All.
When I go off, it stars off with Monster Lariat, which is missing the Chaos Symbol. Unless I play Hualin's Shop, I'd be screwed if I can't chain off of All. And while Hualin's Shop is a great idea 1] I don't have any and 2] it'd be ye another piece of a combo with a 6 HS character that's I'd have to wait for/muligan for. But who knows; if I get my hands on some, I'll try and give it a shot.
Thug got cut from the final lineup. But it's in the Sidedeck for lack of anything better. ;D
I've switched over to a mostly block 3 mentality lately, simply because the GCC is going to be block 3 only, and all of the legal sets for it have been released (it's in early February).
But I digress.
Bitter and Chester's both have All, just like Chop and Punching Bag =/
Iunno. new Balrog is punchtastic. I suppose that's all I need to know. That, and he finally breaks the 5 handsize barrier =O
Return to Southtown features both of your symbols, is a 1/6 with a block, and features a nice hand refill at the end of your turn...
If you plan to do an alternating attack string, you could consider Turn It On in the deck. It may be a lousy check, but Monster Lariat gives you a card when you play a foundation, and Turn It On will also give you a card when you play an attack right after it!
