out of 5

This deck was born out of pure intrigue. I was trading just after Cutting Edge came out and saw this card. Visions of people setting on in awe of the beating they just took.And from the play experience with this deck, it gives just that. Sure with a 19 vitality and a 7 hand size death is coming soon one way or another.Character

The Merchant's Message

Kill card
Double Snap Kick


Here's a explaination for most of the cards.

Shinobi Tradition: For early and late game checks if the RoS combo is locked on

The Merchant's Message: It goes both ways. Perfect for given Iori the momentum for the check control or on the other hand foder for the RoS combo

Girl Dancing with the Devil: MOMENTUM COMTROL!!!!!!!!!!! and food for Iori abilities

Akuma's Shoryureppa + Double Snap Kick + the Street Life= Death to your oppenent.
I've gotten the Double Snap Kick to a 2m for 35 with my oppenent completely committed and hand locked with the Bitter Rivals

ya know ruler got the ban hammer right? 
 
on top of that, if you are going to play iori, the first promo iori is infinitely better, cost free damage pump (sure its got a drawback, but there are ways around that) 
 
and -2 to a check is almost nothing, on top of that, it doesn't end your opponents turn, and +3, just isn't enough. you get props for taking a mediocre character and running with it, but when u use a mediocre character, your deck is still mediocre.  
 
on top of that your control curve is off, you play lots of 4 check foundations and 2 check attacks, you tried to compensate with a banned card, and if Ruler wasn't banned this deck might have been ok, but unfortunately, it was. 
 
the promo iori has already been done to death so if you look online you can find a great decklist for you to base your deck off of. 
 
sorry if i come off mean, but your deck will work better if you played a better character.

 RoS 3.Iori...sounds illegal., Monday, 03 March 2008

While I'm a fan of Iori, and have had success playing his previous character versions off of Fire, I must point out the obvious and say that this deck could never be run in any tournament or formt, not in Block 2, nor in Legacy. 
 
Why? 
 
Because of the inclusion of one card that's been banned, and for good reason: Ruler of Southtown.  
 
The rest of the line up is cool, but the inclusion of RoS is done either as a joke, or out of ignorance. In either case, it makes this deck unplayable.

Finally, a UFS deck that can actually attack! This deck looks and probably is nasty. Hope you don't mind if I try it out on my play group :D
