Alin, your deck runs on twenty four stars. Isn't that inefficient, is Fei actually preferable to a 5*? I find it difficult to believe that the best mono FPC would do that.

I'm considering Usagi, because without Tsubame, he becomes incapable of forcing a KO with two people. And I value even the percieved threat of a KO very highly. Obviously had I Tsubame, then Chan would be a no-brainer. But right now, it seems like a question of an inherently powerful card(chen) versus a card that mingles better on the deck, but has less raw value.

I greatly value Sayura. She is actually the most powerful card on the deck on low pills, pronounced as I run no other attack manipulation such a Yumi. Combined with being the most powerful three star damage wise, I would say she is absolutely essential. More so than SOA. As replacing Sayura for Kati leaves a gaping hole in my low pill play, making the deck either predictable or inefficient, should I chose to bluff. The only option left is using Kati the three Kings of FPC, which are Ralph, Nakata, and Zhu Tang - which is out of the question and Kati gets cut.

Thank you for the replies though. I just want to talk it out to get to the bottom of things, and make the best possible deck I can.

Yes, I meant Futoshi Ld, instead of Takashi LD(?). Those foreign names! Your setup looks really, really good jones. It's really hard to compare now. Is there a problem with Kuei though? Is he too predictable when combined with futoshi? I know he's weaker than Tsubame, but isn't he more stable.
