I kind of agree with it, I think I want to get too greedy with the deck tbh. I should reduce the agilities for something else.

😂Fair! Doing the final touches to Zen atm, figuring out that deck's sideboard has been tough because of the limited deck space.

I see, but doesn’t Kano need like 3 turns to set up where he hardly deals damage? I would assume Enigma is at 20+ Ward at that point. Or is their game plan to continuously apply pressure?

Ping damage + wanning moon. If the ward is destroyed while attacking enigma loses go again as well.

@@flaviogcs96 Sweet, thanks for the info!

FAB just hasnt had to deal with a tier 0 deck like that in almost 8 months, since Lexi at least. It's all semantics at the end of the day, but I just dont think its necessary in this metagame. Even Kayo wasn't a must play, plenty of heroes were taking rtn wins that werent Kayo.

I agree for the most part, except in FAB there’s very few tier 0 decks. They pop up once in a while, so I guess in a way the whole tierlist could be downshifted one tier if I went with the way they do it in Yugioh :). I used to give custom descriptions to each tier with win percentages, maybe I’ll do it again in the future.

At least Riptide can keep Enigma in check thanks to the trap pings =), so we may get a meta triangle with some decks gaining popularity and then others dying off a while.

I also think Riptide has a field day against Enigma, so it’ll be interesting to see how stuff evolves.

You basically need a deck that can operate off a 2 card hand. That can simultaneously keep Illusionist in check and is capable of disrupting aggro enough that their value plan doesn’t work.

Tiger Stripe Shuko :)

Thank you Dez =], nice seeing you here!

Indeed! Ira is in a great spot in Commoner. The deck never felt “right” without a mask, but it does now that we have this one.

Its where I got the inspiration! I used to creeper in so much stuff in like CMH to avoid the earth pitch for a turn.

I have a video live, replied the direct link to somebody in the comments. If you need last minute help finetuning the list for your local meta, I have a help section available on Patreon, but the OG list should be okay for armory level events^^

And the new generic gloves :P, seriously, though, for the most part I think it’ll be fine. The combo is easy to stop so anything with a fridge can save it for turns like this or the late game

Yeah, from the limited data that I have for shifting winds in 90 games, it got played 12 times, the rest it blocked or pitched. I think I'm just going to push Ancestral Harmony in instead, at least on a combo turn its still at least 2 value with the chance of it becoming 6+ value. Getting rid shifting would open up space for the Bonds of Ancestry combo as well, though, so I guess thats another option.

All options! Feel free to express your creativity :), there are many ways to build Zen. You can bring some Heron's Flight spice against Warriors too.

They all suck

Sent it to you a few days ago :), check your replies.

Thank you so much! Trying my best!^^ The recent influx of patrons helps a lot to put extra resources into these other than just a web browser recording.

Thank you too for watching! ^_^

@@KuganeFABTCG Thank you so much. You think this is a good decks for a new player to the game?

@@Yiazmathai Its a decent deck, not a top tier one, but if you are new I think a deck like this can last you a long time before it hits Living Legend. Plus a lot of the staples you need for Zen can be used in Katsu as well.

Its a solid deck but has a bad time against Nuu 😞

Thanks, will do!

Can’t give Nuu too many toys 😂

Also Tiger Swipe is good, cause having an on hit in a mostly damage only deck is really powerful to have Are you planning on doing Nuu stuff as well? Or Enigma for a fact?

Its like Fai, except it can block decently 😂. In regards to Nuu, I’m optimising the deck at the moment. I have the early list available for on Patreon already but haven’t had time to make a video. Will probably do the video in a few days.

I go back and forth between qi unleashed and mauling qi. I’ll probably settle on one of each. It costing two makes it awkward at times

Glad to hear so! Its a super fun deck 😊

Since I posted this video the meta is already shifting heavily into control, so it'll be near impossible for Zen to perform at a competitive level if this trend continues. 1. Prism can just flip our banished cards upside down on demand. 2. Kayo can present on-hits nonstop to stop our effects (censors, weakest link, etc.) 3. Enigma is a good match-up, but the minute you miss a Chi activation for Zen's search you fall behind. 4. Nuu has a field day with the deck forcing discards and destruction effects and then halfway into the game stealing all your blues to start a mini-tiger combo of her own. 5. Bravo just locks you out of play. 6. Azalea can shut you down with both RITL and Remorseless (since we have so many plays) So depending how far you want to go playing the hero competitively, Katsu might remain the better pick of the two. I really had high hopes for Zen, especially after the Legendary got revealed.

Welcome and thank you! 😊

I will have one on the channel next week, still optimizing it. I have my current version available on Patreon as early access.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!

There will be a deck tech on the channel next week, I'm still optimizing the deck, so in the meantime I'm keeping the unfinished build as early access for the Patrons.

Either Lynx or Tiger Swipe needs to go. Its easy to stop the combo, but you have to take 20 damage while stopping it.

Because Pouncing paws puts the tiger in the banished zone. For the sake of this kind of combo that doesn't make a difference, however having the tiger in hand is important to have fuel for Art of War to get your combo started (you can banish the tiger instead of a card from hand), and it allows you to reveal the tiger for Tooth and Claw.

Me too! This set has everything I could ever wish for. Finally a cool Ninja chest piece too!!! 😍

The best part is… they can stop the combo by blocking but still need to eat like 20+ damage before they can stop 😂, at that point you have so much tempo its hopeless for the opponent.

@@KuganeFABTCG Iam used to big combos as katsu. And i always feels great if you can keep up the tempo after your big turn! But this aint a big turn. This is a war crime. I wanted to play defensive pitch stack katsu. And i could consistently block all blood rush bellows or all bonds of ancestry turns. It was so much fun. Needed like 20hours to realy get into pitch stacking.... But now its over. You cant defend this ninja. If he goes undisrupted you are done. My dreams are destroyed TT

@@fleecemane2638 As it stands right now, Zen can push out about two of these 20 damage turns without going infinite, but Katsu can still win. Just need to take advantage of Warmongers Diplomacy, This Rounds on me, the new Legendary gloves and you are good to go I think

Thank you! 😊 going to build teklo?

I pulled off 500 damage off-camera XD, breaking scales instead of shukos helps a lot.

They certainly are... Somebody I know is building Enigma and sometimes he combo wombos himself into boardstates with 40+ ward, lol.

How dare you bring such violence to my channel! I don't want to pay 1 for each tiger!!! 😂

Indeed, I was able to get to 500 damage off-camera, its amazing! Still, though, I'm thinking to add in Breaking Scales for the first Swipe, that way they need to overblock that, making the second one very likely to hit and easily push into 40+ damage.

Glad you liked it, it seemed fitting for the deck xD

😂 Some day it'll happen!

I have with my testing group, you end up pushing 20+ damage in because they HAVE to wait tp block the swipes. Also tested against the new generic gloves, you can close the combat chain after the first swipe hits, start over. Less tigers, but enough to finish the game. Its not going to be anywhere near S-Tier, but its a fun Armory casino deck^^

Just tigers doing tiger things.
