I have only one suggestion really, and that's when you play it in an event outside of your meta or the air event, add in Family Heirloom. It's solid, dual symbol asset destruction. Other then that, all I can really suggest is playtest the crap out of it and keep on cutting and adding cards until it Falcon Knee's people out of their chairs.

i would love 2 add them in but there goin 2 be hard as crap 2 get a hold of i know one of my friends has them and i could probably use them if we go 2 a decent size event.

Ive also got clean freak 2 deal with assets if they become a major problem

really guys nothin at all? im sure there is somethin i could do 2 make it better anyone suggestions plz!!!

I don't particularly like Nine Lives, I say Lord of Makai's are probably better for momentum gen, and in some cases Military Combat Art's as well. Also I see you run about 18 3 checks and less? Maybe flush some of them out if you having problems chekcing and that'll let you drop the Legacy's as well? Shadow Acrobatic's is good for drawing and clearing card pool if you need it. Besides that, there's nothing else to say pretty much, except for screaming out an EXTRA SONIC BOOOOM!!!!! Just noticing there is a bit of Nash and Guile stuff so might as well pitch it in... Then again thats a pretty solid kill card that can hide behind the Jaguar Thousand.

Inhuman Perception should find it's way into the deck somehow.

I definitely need the inhuman perceptions i totally forgot about that card but the reason im running nine lives is because im never going 2 get a hold of any LotM and it helps when i have 2 play a card before jaguar Thousand i can just add it 2 my momentum if its an asset or foundation

what should i take out for the inhuman perceptions? maybe the undercover agents?

Yes, Inhuman Perception is harder to work around than Undercover Agent, so get rid of UA.

If you want quick momentum gain as an alternative to Lord of the Makai, I'd suggest Professional Soldier or La Superba. Sure enough you're losing your staging area, but if you only throw in committed cards, you're not really losing much out of it. Especially if it's the kill turn.

Another cheap attack that guarantees momentum and is surprisingly also a kill card (at times) is Rolling Buckler Uppercut.

Professional soldier is reliable for momentum sometimes but i dont think i have the room in the deck for it its already 66 cards and i would like 2 make it as close 2 60 as possible is there anything you would suggest for it 2 replace

Just my 2 cents, but I would look to get The Nine-Lives and Chain of Command out entirely.

That takes out 7 cards from the deck, if you want another Cut, Greed's while the damage pump is okay, isn't a must play in your deck.

I would defintely look to add a 4th copy of Inhuman Perception, and a playset of Either Makai High Noble or Blinding Rage, Either would work.

I wouldn't worry about professional Solider, even without lord of the makai, you have a ton of mainboard momentum gain, lord of the mak would be great addition, but thats it. You are playing lots of other great alternatives as is.

yeah i really like the chain of command though when i play Jaguar thousand as a reversal but i could try with it out them and add in makai high noble i dont have a playset of blinding rages but i do have the makais i dont know why i didnt have them before

One thing i have come into contact with is rejection what would be a good way 2 get around those?

seal of cesation which you already have. kft, chester's, no memories. i don't recal what adon's symbol spread is so some of these may not work.

chesters wont stop rejection as it only stop foundations but i might run KFT in the side board if needed because its an air deck and it would only match on water although most of my cards have water as well

sorry bout that. since i own 0 chester's i ocasionaly misremember the efect.

its fine happens all the time so what does everyone think i should run in the sideboard? should i leave in the chain of commands and side in the greeds or should i forget the chain of commands altogether?

im thinking maybe add in kung-fu training 2 the sideboard just in case i run into some silly action cards but i dont know if id be able 2 chain well enough 2 add them since its only got water and the entire deck is off air.

i realy think you gotta put kft in the side. 30% of decks in big tournements run rejection. you could also side makai high noble for olcadons.

ive decided 2 run makais maindecked because its good against olcadans and any other destruction effects plus it amazing 6CC flipping a 6 when playing Jaguar thousand is what i want 2 do most.....id rather side either the greeds or the commands i just dont know which they both have there up sides....

Greeds stops shinobis and shooting caps...plus i can olcadans in cards that ready other cards and then just stop them with greeds i like doin that its fun lol

but command helps when i play jaguar thousand as a reversal because they discard most of there hand when i play it and maybe get rid or siberian trainings and rejections if my opponent is looking 2 try and kill me that turn or something

what about homing water dragon cane it can make JT multiple one i think that would be a fun sideboard card incase i run into momentum hacks or the like..it does have a 2CC though thats the only reason id say no 2 it

if you are refering to shinobi tradition it is not b3 legal. i would side comands, or something that stops cc hax (can't remeber if there is anything that does that off air).

not that i know of and yeah i know shinobi isnt b3 but my play group will play b2 until the last possible day thats just the way they are im starting 2 come around 2 the switch as of now and yeah i dont think there is anything that stops CC hax in air if someone finds something useful id like 2 hear suggestions

but siding the commands is probably the best idea because that gives me one less 3 difficulty foundation and greeds has a much better block on it

I think the deck is complete but is there any other suggestions that anyone has before i start testing the crap out of this ive played it a little bit but i havent got 2 yet with all the changes ive made

i know, my playgroup is still playing b2. i was just saying, come tournement season, shinobis will be long gone. i think it might be a good idea to cut out a few 2 or 3 checks, so the deck runs faster.

If you have Inhuman Perceptions in your deck, they'll stop most CC Hax since most of them are reacts.

Kilik: thats true plus if its a foundation i have chesters and seal for anything else so i think i might be ok

trane: there arent any 2CC and yeah there is 18 3CCs but i dont think its that big a deal i dont know what i would take out if i did

andrew olexxa, starter akuma, zhou dayu, etc are not foundations and have cc hax. sorry i though jaguar thousand was a 2cc. i still think you should cut down to 14 or so 3cc, but it's your choice.
