Shien, Elemental Dragon of the Six Samurai

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Sup, haven't posted a deck here in eons. Been mucking around with Six Samurai on DN and they're still pretty relevant, even in spite of everything. I got a lot of ragequits from first turn Shi En/Gateway plays with a normal SixSam build, but its time I mixed it up a bit.

The idea for this deck came to me just now while on a phone and away from a computer so I haven't been able to test or anything yet. The general premise is to have some insurance for when the initial swarm doesn't go as planned. I love the sacky early wins when I can get them and I'm satisfied with how often I can, but when things start to go south Sams have trouble recovering. That's where the dragons come in, by helping me get a second wind from the grave.

Once I test it I'll probably tweak it. Space is a little tight but I want to stay at 40 to optimize my shot at drawing Gateway among other things.

 

EDIT: OK started testing this, it's actually pretty awesome and is working as planned. I'm making Big Eyes with Shiens, getting fields of Shi Ens and Dragossacks, all of that. I'm 5-1 with it so far, only loss was to Incarnate Dragons. Best win was probably over lswarm that got 2 Ophions out, did some shenanigans with Blaster and Hand to get rid of them and then went crazy.

 

EDIT2: Deck is still not losing, over 1200 on DN now. #Swag #YOLO #trollllllllll I'mma stop now and go play some flash games, y'all netdeck this and wreak havoc.
