The deck hasn't changed much since last time except now I can deal with Owlface and the multitudes of Chinese Boxings and Program Malfuctions that people seem to love. I especially like this deck against Chun-Li players since they tend to be over agressive they attack on their turn with whatever they have (usually a multiple) so I block then reversal with Darkness Blade which promptly commits their character and probably a few other things since I have lots of Es to use which means no attacking me on my turn which lets me build my wall up even more.

I've become rather attached to Clean Freak because not only does it get rid of the aforementioned boxing and program but it's a HUGE target because of that, so if they do leave it alone I'll blow something I don't really need at the time, get rid of one of their control cards or whatever else is causing me grief then I can simply use VotL to get back the destroyed card and block with it then reversal with SD and poof rotating foundations.

Tons of attacks combined with control really give this deck a tough time because I'm so reliant on Hybrid Style and VotL to keep blocks and reversals in my hand, while you can reasonably deal with 2-4 attacks a turn you can't deal with more than 3 or 4 control cards at once you simply get beat down.

Once the new sets come out, there should be more answers for cards that pin down your staging area. As far as I know, Siegfried's support contains one such card, but I doubt he's got Water.

In the meantime, Dormant for Millions of Years is probably your best bet for dealing with Program Malfunction/Tranny Boxing, because it at least pins down one of their cards (even though its effects don't linger like the aforementioned cards.)

Speaking of, I noticed that you're not running both in your deck. Chinese Boxing is insane with reversals and Shooting Capoera...

Dormant isn't in there because it has no block and like you said the effects don't linger, also having to pitch a card just to use a mediocre ability means it gets no space in my deck. As for boxing the terrible block 4 check and 3 difficulty just means it would slow the deck down. The point here is not to completely control my opponent's board then toss feline spike until they die, while certainly a viable tactic there's better characters to do it with, it's incredibly predictable and more than a little boring.
