So when I first layed eyes upon the Promo Bishamon I realized that I Was destined to make SOME sorta deck outta him. My first incarnation was good, running a LOT of Earth and splashing a small bit of Evil for control and negation. It did fairly well, and after awhile I kinda drifted away from him. Lately though I was itching to play mill again, and decided upon rebuilding him. Well, he went undefeated today in the tourney, and lost 1-2 to my fellow first placer (we had the EXACT same record/points/SoS). It even MANHANDELD an Order lock down deck. So anyways here's the list:

..Bishamon..

Foundations:

Evil: 12

Blood Runs True x4

Billiard Player x2

Chester's Backing x3

Red Lotus of the Sun x3

Death/Evil: 4

Oral Dead x3

Charismatic x1

Death/Earth: 4

Criminal Past 4

Evil/Earth: 2

Cutting Edge x2

Evil/Death/Earth: 4

Revenant's Calling x4

Earth: 14

Amy's Assistance x3

Battle Prowess x4

Dancing Battle Kabuki x3

Holding Ground x4

Assets: 11

Assassination Arts x4

Olcadan's Mentoring x3

Seal of Cessation x4

Actions: 9

About Face x3

Tag Along x3

Rejection x3

Attacks: 4

Flying Power Bomb x4

Yes I know the list is long but I'd like to show off one of the biggest strengths and appairantly the biggest flaws of the deck, and that's the fact it's a quasi Tri-Symbol mill. I don't have too much matching symbols, but sometimes I find I can't use my Flying Power Bombs and then block in the same turn and it kinda gets irritating after awhile lol. Revenant's Calling is probably one of the best, if not THE best card in Block 3 at the moment. I abused the crap out of it, and more or less commited Sir Shajir's key pieces with it today.

I'd like to get Kung Fu Training into the deck, as I find if I get Tag Alonged I really don't have much to stop it, short of Seals. Any ideas?

Comments and suggestions are always welcome

Cheers,

Brad

I suggest 4 of 'World of Shadows', it's 2nd ability with Bishamon just rip through your opponent's deck. I nearly won an earth patch with just 2 of those as my only source of mill.

Holy crap World of Shadows is hilarious. Only problem is, it's not Block 3 ><

i ran an earth only bishamon deck and did fairly well. what i like about him is you can make pretty efective agro with him becuase he checks of the oponents deck so you don't have to worry about checks. giradot's leadership is great in this (or any tri symbol deck).

Maybe Monster Lariet? You got BRT to force it through, and that would definatly get you playing more cards per turn

Yeah, Mill isn't dead. Your deck is basically my brutal Hugo deck without it being Hugo. I got around to playing him today and though I didn't do too well, I was playing a hodge-podge version of the deck built right before the tournament, it's pretty silly...

have you thought of possibly romanian valley?
