I am getting three of his new asset in the mail soon and pulled enough of his support to build the deck. But how would you go about doing it? off of life, earth or order? or possibly even a tri-symbol? I need some brain storming ideas. I would really like to build him.

I'd probably start with earth as your base as it should be less exspensive/easier to build a solid deck off of earth.

i would second this. earth is a symbol built for 5 handers, and so it would be easier to construct gaira this way.

this a rough draft of the deck, i had a mental block about building the deck. I originally traded for the abi dabi's for the asset destruction but the Gaira Response looked fun.

::Gaira::

4x 5/4 Tag Along

3x 3/3 Namu Abi Dabi.. +2M

4x 7/2 Centennipierce Slam
4x 4/3 Butt Slam
4x 4/3 Demon Cradle +1M
4x 4/3 High Plasma Beam +1H

3x 0/4 Dancing Battle Kabuki +1L B:2
4x 1/4 Battle Prowess
4x 1/6 Blinding Rage +1M
4x 1/5 Altered Mind and Body +1M
4x 2/5 Travel Abroad +4M
3x 2/5 Will for the Fight +3M
3x 2/5 Cutting Edge +2M
3x 3/4 Hulking Brute +2H
4x 3/4 The Kyokugen Karate Innovator +1M
4x 3/5 Program Malfunction +1M

3x 2/5 Distractable
Xx otherside board material?

Travel abroad and the Karate Innovator for damage pumps for my throws which I have 8 of in the deck. Will for the Fight for discard and more damage pump for non weapon attacks.Hulking Brute and Dancing Battle for card draw. High Plasma Beam for when I commit things. This seems like more a deck for water or order but it made its way in. Same goes for Demon Cradle good stats and a good reversal if it hits. and other pieces to keep me alive and protect my board. any comments about the deck and anything to remove or add to side board.

a giant of a man can go in for the same effect as hulking brute without turning off draw so +4 cards after you play a foundation

centennnipierce slam should be replaced by sardine beach special i just think its a way better attack...same difficulty 2 more damage and an awesome enhance

plus id add olcadans into the deck because why not its a great card and its not going anywhere......besides you can add in cards that from your opponents discard pile that give damage penaltys that way they wont use any of them...they either have dead foundations or ones that will get destroyed

Cutting Edge should be 2x, it's a dead card after the first. IMO Kyokugen Innovator is just too expensive to justify running -- it's a possible +7 damage against a Spiker deck or something, but you could use Ultimate and Immortal to have a good shot at +6 and a fairly consistent +5. It's +1 difficulty to drop and the block is much worse, but you don't have to destroy it, which is very nice. Clean Rematch might be another thing to add; it let you guarantee access to your Blinding Rage if your opponent drops something crazy like 2x Mentoring T1.

Distractible is mainable IMO, maybe 3x main 1x side. You COULD even finish your set of Cutting Edge in the board, for against a dedicated Spike deck or something.

did you ever build this deck or see how it played? im just curious as to what it could do

If you did and could splash a little life into it i would consider running ancient training ground...your opponent cant play it as long as they have damage reduction or pumps in there staging area because you could just destroy something

I havent played it yet. I am waiting on the Abi Dabi's to come in. and people suggested taking out the Gaira throw for Sardine's beach special. but i can wait to test it.

let us know how it goes i think that it could do some damage the only thing i worry about is only having 5 hs
