Notes & Combos
Except for a couple of staple UR copies, this is almost an exact copy of the latest pinned decklist in the Swordsoul channel.
And if you're a Swordsoul noob like me, the Tenyi line is to summon Ashuna first, link it off, then summon another Tenyi from hand, then Ashuna effect to make a Synchro (grab whatever you don't have, if you have the tuner grab a non-tuner and vice versa). I had multiple games where I summoned the Tenyis and Swordsouls in the wrong order and ended up with just Monk and a main deck Tenyi when I could have had an extra Draco Berserker or something.
The Yang Zings haven't come up yet but it's still very early days with the deck. Chengying took a pivotal going-second game on the way to my rank-up. And I will avoid summoning Sinister Longyuan as much as possible because he killed Best Girl Mo Ye in the lore.
Changes: I wish I had another Imperm but I'm being stingy with UR mats. If I did I would likely dock a copy of Ecclesia. I also just realized as I was writing this that the Tenyis can summon Denglong with Shthana, so maybe I'll add Nine Pillars for a stronger going-first option.
