Notes & Combos
Same as my first deck for the most part, but I did begin playing Naturia Beast because Sky Striker was becoming a major problem in this event.
I tech'd now 1 copy of Chamberlain of the Six Samurai and Shien's Squire because of their ability to help make Naturia Beast and can still be used to make other synchro monsters. Chamberlain can be special summoned from Double Assault or using Asceticism targeting Fuma, Tactical Trainer or Kageki if he's by himself. Shien's Squire can be a rough dead draw, but it can be special summoned over and over again with Gateway of the Six.
If you play correctly, you can end on a constant end game board of 2 Lord ShiEn, Lord Kizan (with Double Assault in GY), Great Shogun Shien(or something else if you want), Naturia Beast or OG Shien, and A Bao a Qu in your extra monster zone. This doesnt count any potential interact you draw throughout the turn like Cunning, a 2nd Double Assault, Ash Blossom, Infinite, etc. You can keep extra monsters in hand or keep Phoenix Gearblade in hand for A Bao a Qu as it'll keep returning to hand each turn to make her effect basically free.
