Notes

Get 2 Hand and 1 at least Monarch resource on the table, play Butterfly Knight and Fire assassin. Use Rig Dis to give Fire Assassin the ability of Butterfly Knight, attack, whap on Explosives (if needed) and blow a site (Jose Garcia ruled this is possible). When all Rig Dis have been used, recycle with Wind on the Mountain, do it again. If needed.

I Ching is there to get the cards I need with minimal discarding, as is the Shield of Pure Soul.

Most sites in the deck are unattractive for attack (Rust Garden and Pinball Hall can really ruin your day), Ice Pagoda is there for the healing bit and Thunder Pagoda for power and resources.

I'd be surprised if the deck actually works, but the idea is nice ...
