Heh Dylan. Teriffic presentation as always. I do wish more people would get behind your channel, you put so much quality work in and I think you deserve more than 4k subscribers. Anyway, good things coming lets hope. Couple or queries. Firstly, what would you suggest you take out when s/b in erase and weakest? I was working on Razor, Flying Kick and Take the Tempo from your original list but those cards have not survived the update (dont worry about it obviously if you puplish the sideboard update). Secondly, thoughts on Snatch as opposed to say Censor? I feelCensor can just be really hit or miss if played in the early game (and especially for those of us who are not high level players). Finally, arsenalling blues that you may draw off a Mask trigger. Should you just not do it or is it ok at times? Just seems a waste to maybe have to play BRB to clear a crap card from arsenal to prevent a big tempo loss. Thanks again for all your work man, really aprreciate it.
If your list is similar to my first one they normally come in for Razor/Take yeah. Snatch is nice but I would only go for that if you are on the more aggro gameplan. I prefer slowing my opp down since I already threaten draw a lot with mask anyway but that comes down to preference I guess. The more synergistic your blues are the easier they are to arsenal. Rushing River/Rising Knee with Leg Tap/Torrent make it less painful. If you find that issue a lot either yeah skip arsenal or put 1/2 standing orders in the list!
Ironically having mauling qi for snaps turn into cnc works with breeze but yeah agree that if you have like take the tempo or smash up. I’ve been playing this deck the last few weeks. I have went 2-1 at all my locals. My losses every week are to a deck I haven’t fought before but haven’t lost to decks I have faced before. Cyb nuu last week round 1 bye round 2 into cyb nuu round 3 was rewarding to learn how to fatigue the nuu to win the second time. Having a ton of fun on the deck. I personally am on flick knives as I don’t own shuko and I wasn’t liking breaking scales. I am on 2 concealed blades and a hurl and I bring needle in a lot. Getting a razor reflex or just flicking it then concealed on your third attack to equip a kodachi has been really good. I don’t always have the needle but pushing for 3 early even knowing they have a reacts like say playing against Florian and knowing they need to set up their decompose to break needle usually. I’m on triple scrap and 2 wheel kick the go against are really nice. Missing bittering thorns but one of these days I’ll get them. My biggest testing is just boots. Pouncing paws for mauling qi, pouncing qi and aspect mind or snaps for the 1 for 5 non combos to consider or the breeze for the combo ones and block. Still figuring it all out.
Have we considered hundred winds blue in our back heel kick slot? It has go again, 1 power Looking for a Scrap, has combo for Flic Flak, and has synergies with itself. The only fault I can see is that it's a 2 block. How much does having 3 block on your blues come up?
Super excited to watch this today to learn more about Ira! Thank you from a new player!!
Glad you’re enjoying the channel!

Glad you’re having a good time with it! The deck is deeper than most people realize which is awesome
Great video as always! Most likely taking Ira or zen to Portland this month.
Would find center also be a good alternative to warmongers?
Yeah that’s completely fine. Rowdy locals also is a solid blue for her as well
Already built my ira deck. Hope to git gud with her
Great video! Where can I find shoma list?
He tweeted it I believe!

You want to make Flick Flak as above rate as possible so yeah the 3 blocks really do matter.
With mech you still need to worry about Firewall when running Needle
You do, but they run it so little and it’s only a three of it’s not really a factor for me when deciding if I run needle or not
@TCGTALKYT fair point
How to play against Ira.
Don't roll a 1 on scabs
Facts!
