a challenge !!!

[CRASHER]

Belle says she wants to get into Raw Deal... I talked to her a bit about this on Friday, and she wants to come down some Thursday and give it a shot... we talked a bit about the wrestlers she likes... and we decided that she wants to try with the prodigy of an EX-NHL player, Chris Jericho....

sooooooooo

here's the challenge:
We need to build her a fairly good BUT SIMPLE deck to get her into the game so we can get an extra player... who's up for this

[ATruGambit]

simply but solid build? for jericho

backstage politics, highlight reel, terri, please shut up, managed by teddy, strap match, hell cell,taunt

its action light so it requires less thought/planning. a basic breakdown or what the cards do and how they interact should do. i feel this action light hand destruction make is stronget than the actio nheavyt alternative due to how important actiosn have realyl become in this meta. a strap a arm breaker and jericho himself wears down th ehand rather reliably, and the manuevers mostly either cause a discard or are difficult to reverse

also its simple in that you just keep throwing manuevers out there , ther are no set ups or requiremetns aside fro mthe kneesmashes/flalign fists. its a beat down deck. simply effective, annoying.

this more or less is the way my jericho worked, its how i rembmered the basic premise off the top of my head. anyway. hope it helps and i HATE playign agaisnt this deck.

Actually the Rock would probably be the simpliest of decks for her, since his ability is easy and such.

Maybe put in Jericho's feud? Does that help the deck more than maybe Hell in a Cell (which I find would be a tough card for beginners to play under). Or maybe yank Politics if Henry/Wicks don't show?

happy you're here

Please, for the love of God, someone find a place to put a Fort Surge or 1 to 2 NOWTWWW.

Maneuvers(27):
3 x pump kick
3 x running lariat
3 x samoan drop
3 x fallingfist/knee smash
3 x spinning heel kick
3 x ddt
3 x 360 clothesline
3 x neckbreaker
arm breaker
breakdown
lionsault

All these maneuvers and no TMF? Maybe pull a DDT or 360 for it? After all, as much as the person will want to get in the game, she's gonna wanna see the moves/sayings she knows (if she knows any). And in a beatdown deck, a TMF that's pretty much a game-ender is a good thing to have.

I also think the HR should be chosen based on the number of Raw decks that everyone plans on playing. As the limit of Raw guys gets higher, the better the Falling Fists look (tho this question, too, will be answered next set)

Reversals(25):
3 x step
3 x escape
3 x elbow
3 x oversell
3 x manager
3 x kissing up
2 x pet coon
2 x strangle hold
1 x never ever
1 x dont try
1 x lets wrestle

Pretty solid and standard stuff. I would think, esp if Rey is playing Rey Jr. and/or Henry/Wicks show up, she needs 1 x Too Many Rules, Too Many Refs, but that's a judgement call, and I like that reversal a lot more than Ray does.

Actions(8):
2 trailer park
2 beating
2 simply
1 y2j
1 king of the world

Understand on the action-light thing. And agree with you on the strategy point.

its action light so it requires less thought/planning. a basic breakdown or what the cards do and how they interact should do. i feel this action light hand destruction make is stronget than the actio nheavyt alternative due to how important actiosn have realyl become in this meta. a strap a arm breaker and jericho himself wears down th ehand rather reliably, and the manuevers mostly either cause a discard or are difficult to reverse

also its simple in that you just keep throwing manuevers out there , ther are no set ups or requiremetns aside fro mthe kneesmashes/flalign fists. its a beat down deck. simply effective, annoying.

Well, it was a pain in the ass to play against.

P.S. Mike, yeah, maybe The rock would be easier, as long as people aren't dicks about his ability, but that's the one aspect of her choice (chosen wrestler) that we cannot change. So, it's a moot point.

[CRASHER]

thank you Brian for actually reading the post

We can work on this deck too on Monday I think it's a cool idea... and always good to have a solid "house deck" on call for anytime someone shows up (with me you NEVER know)
it looks like it's off to a good start though !

[ATruGambit]

i'd keep backstage jsut because it nukes the handsize by one before the game starts, hel lcel lnot being played i udnerstand, that's fine. so the fued can go in its stead.

i just didnt pack the fort surge because its a confusing card, and we dont do much plunging, but for mwhat i hear it may be a good idea to pack one.

dropping a ddt for a trademark is fine, i just dont have a walls so didnt think to put it in.

also. i dropped a jericho idea because thatw as the superstar that was suggested and that she's a fan of, ad hoenstly in this game environment the rock is a rough make especially if you want to have fun playing it. jericho is a bit more lemme do stuff and see effects rather than the rock being more of a sit there andlet stuff get done to me.

[CRASHER]

I have all ogf Jericho's cards so putting that in isn't an issue

I might prefer pulling the DLB for a second turn up (since I always did believe if you need to play one you need to pack 2, and what does 2F get Jericho besides the omni-reversal ?... ahhh well it gets spinning heel kicks)

maybe nuke the don't try for the too many rules too many refs and just ask people to avoid the headaches of ACE-ing to the death the new person since the first game is confusing enough ?

I'm actually tempted to run this deck myself
Always did like Jericho

[ATruGambit]

well the dont try in our game environment has more possability of being used. the too many rules only really affects some of my decks, scott, and some of henry's decks. the dont try affects laflammes ( lita) yours and brians ( regal) mine ( rock rey). it IS a judgement clal, but as of now there is only 1 dont try, and it is a valuable card. although, the too many rules too many refs is a FAR easier card to explain.. it reverses any card with a stopsign on it!

[CRASHER]

and it hurts one of the big power cards in the set (suicide dive)

and even against a non-RMS deck... you cen pitch it and draw a move
