So I've been building a deck that I absolutely love, and it's my favorite fox, 8.5 Tails. So I've been looking to make the deck a bit more efficient at what he does, and I've ordered a few cards and need to make some cuts. I have an idea for a few things to cut, but I don't know exactly which ones to take out for every one, if even all of them. So I figured I'd come to the place I felt I could get the most help. What do you guys think of the current decklist? What do you think of the changes I'm looking to put in?
Okay, so... that's the current decklist. What I'm looking to put in... is this. For note, I'm not looking to spend any more money on cards like Umezawa's Jitte or Sword of Light and Shadow, though the possibilities of such might be opening in the future. Is there anything else notable that I could add in? This deck plays mostly multiplayer with a splash of one-on-one.
I use Overwhelming Splendor in tight circumstances, or if I need to shut down someone's comboing, hard. I don't use it all too often, and can most certainly be swapped out. Second Sunrise is something that I thought I would use more... but I just don't. On the same note, I don't think I need Oketra either, she rarely hits play, as I've other things to play, like Odric or Alms Collector, for more utility.
