Ok, so I joined a SOK release league and once again I'm getting my butt kicked.  I could use some help building a deck because I've tried a few and have yet to even win a match. (yay me.) Apparently I suck worse than I thought.

I saved a .dec file here (http://home.insightbb.com/~bugger/SOKdek.dec) so I didn't have to list the cards individually.   I'm thinking that a nice black discard might be what I'm looking for, particularly with so many of the SOK cards power needing folks to hold on to their hand size.   What sucks is I didn't get multiples of more than one or two cards, so it'd have to be a singleton type strat. Go me.

So anyway, any help at all would be appreciated.

You can export the .dec as a .txt and just copy and paste here. Heh.

I think I'd  build a blue/green deck and splash for a couple of black removal spells. Like:

1 dreamcatcher
1 shape stealer
1 oboro breezecaller
1 moonbow illusionist
1 elder pine of jukai (this guy is amazing)
1 ghost-lit nourisher
1 kami of the hunt
1 soratami savant
1 secretkeeper
1 kaho, minamo historian
1 descendant of soramaro
1 kashi-tribe reaver
1 teller of tales
1 ayumi, the last visitor
1 okina nightwatch

1 consuming vortex
1 freed from the real
1 counsel of the soratami
1 inner calm, outer strength
1 kodama's reach
1 rend spirit
1 kagemaro's clutch

8 forest
8 island
2 swamp

Ahh, see I didn't know that so I didn't even try.  Also, I figured what with all the new cards nobody might know what was up with some of them so a .dek might be more useful than a listing. Anywho, here's what I wound-up with.
