Thanks for playing Jing Yuan! I think what won this matchup was not only pyke's good defense and budget evasive, but also Jing Yuan losing that Twice As Wild around 30:38 lol. Though the bad luck on Strategies didn't help either lol. The Lightning Lord is Ultimate dmg specifically so attack modifiers can be used while it doesn't get affected by statuses like wither. All around, a good match!
Thanks for getting around to playing Pyke! though at around 26:10 when you played "Umbral Glaive" you chose 2 options from the card but didn't discard your cut. I haven't watched the full video as I write this but just thought I would point it out Edit: you did discard the card "Your Cut" and didn't get any CP from it when you were over hand size so I guess it doesn't matter edit 2 after finishing the video: As for "Did I Support Right?" I think it was mainly the matchup that made it good, in all the playtests I did with Pyke back when I made him the mentioned ability was never that good to activate it was just a fall back, I believe the main reason why the mentioned ability was so good in this matchup is like Pyke, Jing yuan didn't have too many ways to dodge defense, which Pyke's defense is his strong suit. again though, thanks for playing Pyke!
I don't think it was the matchup. We kinda talk about it at the end, but Jing Yuan should win this matchup (no dmg back on defense, accessible ability that deals collateral dmg so you can't spend Ghostwater, buildup into an Ultimate that you can't Ghostwater, etc) and still got Support Right'd. Did I Support Right is mostly busted because you can spam it, especially combined with the incredibly strong passive, so I can see it underperforming if it's your plan B. Probably just a case of nobody thinking to try and spam it in testing
