&lt;p&gt;well they are, especially anex und ubuntu. they can attack in all ranges and can make things more difficult for enemies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So all but, what, 4 characters are all-rounders then?  I consider an all-rounder someone that has close to the same effectiveness at both ranges.  Yoshiro is not effective at far range.  Phoebe is not effective at close range.  Ubuntu and Anex have options at close, but they're much better at long-range than at close.</body>

    <body>bq. Andro vs Juju: Hex, hex, hex &#8230; or Andro gets a crit from Trueshot, or bye bye Andro.

2x ROA.  This is a 50/50 if he has a feather, but it's better than 2xTrueshot hoping for a crit.

bq. Andro vs Yoshi or Higashi: Throw a coin to decide if you use Lightning Arrow or not. If you lose the flip, you die.

Lies (at least for vs yoshiro).  Chi Blast != Instakill.  Vs yoshiro, just ignore the chi blast and do 2xRoA.

bq. Andro vs Phoebe or Anex: Here you will see Andromeda move close XD

Only if the person playing andromeda was dropped on their head as a baby.

bq. Please note that I only mentioned &#8220;all rounders&#8221;.

Phoebe, Anex, Ubuntu, and Yoshiro are not all-rounders.

bq. And please note that, if Rain of Arrows were 4 speed and Trueshot were 3 speed, all these matches would change a lot.

&lt;p&gt;I knew that you used the first deck for league.  I had been trying it with Yoshi, but after watching a video of yours, I switched over to the old fart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for the second deck&amp;#8230;I &amp;#8220;borrowed&amp;#8221; that one from Garcia1000.  I didn&amp;#8217;t realize that it was also in your rotation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t mind participating in deck plagiarism&amp;#8230;why not learn from the best?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I thought that quote was &quot;imitation is the sincerest form of flattery&quot; :P.  I don't mind if people try using my decks because I use ideas from other people's decks all the time.  Anyway, my second deck used to be my main deck before the league started.  I've been using it for a long time, but I don't remember if i actually stole it from garcia when I made it.  I also switch tafari and rumiko around a bit and switch between them as starters, but usually I have rumi as my starter.

IMO deck plagiarism isn't bad but you shouldn't continue on with decks you feel really uncomfortable with.</body>

Ubu/Mask&lt;br /&gt;
Amaya/Scroll&lt;br /&gt;
Higashi/Insignia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hate Higashi with a passion&amp;#8230;I just wish he wasn&amp;#8217;t so effective (sometimes).  Nukefest of a deck.  Has trouble against a well-played deck that has both CC and Anex (but who doesn&amp;#8217;t?).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tricky:&lt;br /&gt;
Rumi/Scroll&lt;br /&gt;
Tafari/Poison&lt;br /&gt;
Ambrosia/Vial or Juju/Feather&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I am on top of my game, I like to play this one.  Its low on damage, high on battlefield management.  Juju is maybe the safer route&amp;#8230;Ambrosia is pretty hard to use until you get used to her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, how did &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NONE&lt;/span&gt; of the decks above mention Rumi, Tafari, or Ambrosia?  Ambrosia and Tafari maybe, but Rumi is frickin great.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Funny because both of those decks are my league decks (second deck with juju/feather)</body>

A couple of good interceptions and you&amp;#8217;ll have a fully healed deck and killed a char&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rapid lashes easily owns a feather popo and hamstring easily hinders any one ranger&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Deafening is nice, but when do you actually do, you know, actual damage?  Not every opponent is going to switch out because the smart ones are gonna stay in and keep trying to inflict damage.

Lots of people are putting her down as a good character but &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;IMO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; she&amp;#8217;s really not that great.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of her advantages is that at range, she can outdraw even Anex with the Charm. With the Power Lash seeming to have a very good proc odd for a 30% ability, that puts a duel slightly in her favor. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

It's called &quot;moving close&quot;.  Unlike Phoebe, Anex can actually deal damage at close, which is something Phoebe users seem to not like to do.


Phoebe is bad because all she does is drag the match on longer without doing anything to make your side do better.  That's a the quickest way to make Kongai one of the least fun games on the internet.</body>

&lt;p&gt;The question is. Is a 50/50 flip that far away from an optimum solution? Especially if you also factor in time/effort to come to that conclusion.&lt;/p&gt;
And that the randomness also makes you more unpredictable.
&lt;p&gt;We all know the old saying. &amp;#8220;Professionals are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I would say no.  Time and effort cost nothing in the actual game except if you use more than 45 seconds.  Just from experience, 50/50 is usually far away enough from the real solution that flipping a coin isn't usually a good idea.</body>

    <body>bq. this is a huge thing for 5 card not so much for normal players

Uh, no.  I can't stress enough how wrong you are.  This is like saying shadow wrath or radiance burst don't matter in 3 card, but it definitely does.</body>
