## Notes

This is the only deck I have made that has won in a multi-player game. I'm used to taking on at least one Ascended player and at least one Architect player, so this deck is designed to cope with this. The key to this deck is getting out a 4/4 character by turn three. Dragon Fighters are the best thing the Dragons have going for them. With guts, you can plow right through just about any small characters other players have out. If you can't play two Feng's right away, play a Feng and a house on the hill. On turn three, you can pay three power for one of three characters, and get an extra point of fighting score to boot: Masked Avenger (no damage from 1 characters), Maverick Cop (no damage from Hoods), and Netherword Vet (+1 fighting for Edges). If the character is still alive, bring out a Chinese Doctor and heal it. The Kii-Yaaah!'s should provide enough power to play the states and events that require power. The advantage of using midrange characters is that they don't draw out smoking cards like Nerve Gas. Another advantage is being able to get out a midrange character, smoke someone's character to get damage on your character, play a Baptism of Fire to get +2 Fighting, a Now You've Made Us Mad to get 1 Power, and a Chinese Docter to heal my character. I've been able to do this at least once in every game I've played with this deck.

### Substitutions

If I'm playing against more than one Architect or Eater player, I'll sometimes put in two Shamanistic Lieutenants for two of my Serena Ku's. The only other substitution I might make, would be Final Brawls for the Now You've Made Us Mad's. Final Brawl with Last Outpost makes a nice combo.
