Yay Ivy pokes a lot!

By guitalex2008, in UFS Deck Building

Off of All. Mind you, I don't have the cards to make the deck and haven't seen much other than rares and her starter exclusives but I want to build her SO BADLY.

To be honest, I'll probably revisit this once I see the commons/uncommons these sets have to offer.

But here's the deal. Switching Weapon Styles + Flames of Fame/Genius Alchemist means no progressive for any attacks in this deck at all. Proceed to play any and all without fear of failing, with Bitter Rivals ready to push them through. Reversal deck? No worries, as blocking with a 3 diff attack won't add to your progressive difficulty for the rest of your turn, and it won't be affected by it either when blocking.

Visions of Destiny is there not to rig your never-failing checks, but to set up what you will draw with Ivy.

Powerful Style in a deck like this is kind of disgusting.

The Tae Kwon Do Zephyr is there in case of a Raging Gnome that is not the 5th 3 diff attack. Returning to printed is not considered an increase.

anything that returns to printed, if being at printed will INCREASE the damage, will not work on gnome.

BOO, well no worries I suppose. TTKDZ will stay until I see a suitable substitute in the new sets.

When you get a chance to look for Howling Spirits (her Rare attack) do so.

This deck needs more attaxxxxxx and more spam foundations. For example, where is Saikyo? with it's god-tier spammable and substitution for that ugly 3-diff on Bitter Rivals. IMO Visions isn't really needed, I mean, you're basically digging an additional 2 cards down for attacks. Why not just run an attack instead of it and have high damage output + higher chance of drawing into attacks with just her R? And Commitment is a 6cc and all, that's OK, but it screws your ability to draw; You could run Feet of Fury, which is actually virtually identical to Ivy's R, lmao. Or Rootless, another 0-drop that lets you turn a move that hit earlier into another draw. <add Lord of Makai maybe? :3>

Drop Arkuma Inashi for One of Ivy's new attacks like venom lash, they are overall better for you.

I would add +4 Genius Alchemists and put them in place of Visions. They can turn off progressive diff for Switching weapon styles if you dont get flames of fame.

I would totally drop down to 2 copies of valentine or consider not using it at all in place of more foundations, attacks, or sakyo.

Also Commitment to excellence is ok, but the 6 check is wasted in this deck, might wanna run something with more utility like owlface.

I'll give my Ivy deck I play test today and it works incredibly ! Kill on the second turn with a good luck, and 3 times on the third turn; So I play with a lot of proxy to test ;)

4 0/5 Powerful Style +2M

4 2/4 Research anything (choose and draw attacks)

4 2/5 Flames of Fame +2M

4 2/4 Researching past (Fortune Teller for her, choose what you can draw with Fei long !)

4 2/6 Commitment to Excellence +1L

4 3/4 Bitter Rivals +2M (with it no need to speed up attack)

3 2/4 Genius Alchemists

3 3/4 Artificial Soul (very, very Strong drawing !)

Total: 66 cards

It's my first try and to be honest it's very impressive. No time to control staging, You have to draw the switching style and look your opponent cry. Without this action it's more hard due to the numbers of 3cc so Tag along could be a strong card to add and with Flames of fame it's not a big problem.

Hayate punch doesn't work as I though 'cause your hand it's always full or near full than your opponent, Pommel smash control and commit always the problem card your opponent could have so well this card save me 2 times ! Like Howling Spirit when I had a card pool composed of 9 attacks ! 8 life burn + my second Howling Spirit came as third attacks !!!

Well I'll work on a Life version and I'll think that's could be a good version very different like this All version, well let's play with her !!

Updated with some of the suggestions.

Decided to scrap Valentine altogether in favor of the free E on Reaver's Axe. All attacks except for Fei Long's Forward Kick and Raging Gnome can use the +1 speed +1 damage free E, while Raging Gnome can use the destroy for +2/+2 E.

Scrapped Visions for Razor's Bite (seeing the top card of the deck was the point of Visions to begin with so why not add more attacks, I suppose).

Reduced Bitter Rivals/Artificial Soul to 3 copies. Tempted to reduce Bitter Rivals to 2 and upping Artificial Soul to 4.

Removed Hayate for Pommel Smash.

Removed Karin attack for Howling Spirits of awesomeness.

Removed Commitment to Excellence for Saikyo-ryuu.
