"The Unseen Decks"
February 17, 2006

When you ask what sort of decks people might run, there are a number of basic and often used decks that come up. Things such as Priests, Chibi, Wolves, Main Heros, Spawn and so forth. These are some of the often used terms and decks used. I've played a good number of them if not actually play with them.

However, I was looking through a lot of old and new cards and realized there are a lot more decks out there to try playing. They may not be as effective, but deck ideas they are. I figured I'd try scanning through a few and maybe this will peak someone's interest and they'll let me know how the deck works.

Miroku Gots All The Ladies

When most people use Miroku in their deck, he's usually played in a Priest deck. The bonus and additional ability help you get back or save your priestesses. However, there are a new of cards to suggest people to try and play a "Miroku Playa"
deck. Curious? Well, a number of events and characters need Miroku in play in order to gain abilities. Let's take a card from way back that a number of people probably forgot. "Things to Come". If Miroku and Sango are both in play, you basically
get a "Gone Fishing" effect without the draw. Ok. Not too bad. I do like to see what I'll draw and discard. "Koharu" can't be attacked while you control "Miroku" and gives everyone 'cute' and "Perverted Monk" Miroku lets you search for Koharu.
The wind tunnel allows you to kill a character that Miroku just defeated and Hachi can re-ready him. I know that are more, but that should be enough to get you thinking.

Raid the Armory

This deck idea came from looking at "Totosai, Sword Maker" and "Totosai, Old Fool". The basic premise of the deck is you run Totosais and Kajinbos and then any non-unique swarm-type characters. The other half of the deck are all items. Jewels, Tetsusaigas, Tokijins, etc. Every turn your characters should be packin' enough heat to take down a small army. The addition of "Baggage" in the new set only helps this deck idea.

An Old Romance

Inuyasha and Kikyo. This is a relationship one would think would be better represented in the card game as it has as much happening in it and has as many undertones as Inuyasha and Kagome. "Some things never change" is really the only card that comes to mind that directly ties these two together in the game. Though, I think it may become a bit more evident in the next few sets.

And...one deck type that should be (hopefully) out after Saisei...

Shichinintai FOREVER!

OMG! I am so looking forward to building this deck. It'll be Human Evil Supernatural characters. They will be big, bad and in charge. They will help one another...well...most of them will. Ooooo! I can't wait.
