Looking for a critique on this one before I start heavilly playtesting it this weekend. Mostly just want to see if you can spot any major holes or cards that dont belong. This is a Order/Water deck, concentrating on Order lockdown, emphasising Juni's ability to retrieve Reversals and to commit their foundation base.
The key factor here is Juni's Spiral Arrow, combined with Tenacious/Juni's abilities to recurse it and keep their foundations locked down. Chinese Programming, Program Malfunction, and Psycho Focus does the majority of the commiting process, helped out by Juni herself if she's got a nice set of Reversals already in hand. Darkness Blade helps speed the killing progress once you can get a steady Spiral Arrow+Tenacious 'loop' going on your turn, and can also speed up the process of commiting his staging area. Abducted and Blind Loyalty provide some backup in case Tag Along shows up to wreck Juni's recursion. As it is a multi symbol deck, try to keep a block and a reversal of the same symbol in hand.
Blood Runs True is their primarily to keep him from blocking your Spiral Arrow, although you cant overlook how it can mess up his attack routines. Strife's Patronage (To look at his hand) combined with Light on One's feet will also help it get through, as well as help with blocking. Burning Hatred helps with getting your reversals through, but it's there mostly for the 6 check.
Aquakinesis, combined with The Bigger They Are and Familial Loyalty gives you some rather insane card draw. Olcadan's is a stock answer for many problems you may encounter. Guile's Comb helps make those Reversals easy to get out, and the fact that it's also a cheap reversal for early game doesnt hurt either.
One change I'm considering is replacing the 2 Darkness Blades with Feline Spikes. Faster 'kill card', but its abilities dont intrinsically help with the lockdown and I'd have to rebuild a bit to increase momentum generation. (Probably remove the burning hatreds for Lord of the Makai) Anything else I should consider?
