Ric Flair
by Charles Williams
Revolution Format

BACKLASH (12)

Pre-match (6)

Man of a 1000 Moves x1
New Plan x1
The Degenerates x1 (Unique)
Ring Psychology: Leg x2
Underestimate the Competition x1

Strategy Notes: With all the cards that revolution has to offer I came up with a wicked deck creation. Always play these cards in this order 2 Ring Psychology: Leg, Man of a 1000 moves, Underestimate the Competition and finally The Degenerates. If you have a bad hand with only a hand size of only 4 that might happen often. Replace Underestimate the Competition for a New Plan in the sequence. Theres 2 Ring Psychology: Leg in your ring so if you successfully play a maneuver with Target leg you get to put up to 2 cards with Target Leg from your ringside into your hand and your next card with Target leg this turn is -8F. So if your next card is your Profilin' Shin Breaker it cost zero fortitude, the Steel Chain Shot will only cost 9F, the Leg Lock will only cost you 7F, the Figure Four Finale will cost you only 16F and the best part about these maneuvers is that your superstar ability allows you to put them into your hand from your ringside so you can take advantage of the 2 Ring Psychology: Leg.

Mid-match (6)

Boot Lace x2
Before this gets out of Hand x1
I Can Do Anything I Want x1
Its All Led to This x2

Strategy Notes: A good set of Mid-matches. I only have 3 Mid-match reversals because the arsenal already packs a good number of reversals.

ARSENAL (60)

Superstar-specifics (8)

Figure Four Finale x1
I'm Going--Whoooo!--Up Top! x1
Nature Boy Chop x1
Profilin' Shin Breaker x1
Space Mountain Punch x1
Still the Man x1
Stylin' Low Blow x1
Wheelin' Knee Drop x1

Strategy Notes: 4 of out his 8 superstar specifics can go directly from your ringside into your hand when you use your superstar ability which is.... Once a turn you may put up to 1 Maneuver with "Chop" or "Punch" in the title or Target leg from your Ringside into your hand.

Antics (5)

Eat Spit x1
Look Under the Ring x2
Shock The World x2

Strategy Notes: Some basic stuff. Shock the World is meant to keep your maneuvers in the ring so you have fortitude. Look Under the Ring is pretty basic. Eat Spit is a unique antic from the Degenerates Faction, You draw 3 cards and your opponent discards 1 random card, if there are 3 or more superstar specifics from "The Degenerates" and/or cards with "The Degenerates" in the text in your Ring, your opponent discards 4 random cards from his backlash.

Antic-Reversal Hybrids (0)

Strategy Notes: I don't have any Antic-Reversal Hybrids in this deck

Maneuvers (16)

Discus Punch x3
Eye Rake x3
Gut Punch x3
Leg Lock x2
Steel Chain Shot x2
Toe Smash x3

Strategy Notes: Discus Punch and Gut Punch are meant to put cards into your hand. There will be many times where your non-unique antics will end up in your ringside from either it being reversed or overturned but regardless of whatever happened you can use a Gut Punch to put it into your hand if played successfully. Discus Punch when played successfully will make you overturn 3 cards and put up to 2 uniques from your ringside into your hand. Ideally you use Discus Punch to put uniques into your hand that you can't put into your hand with your superstar ability. All of these cards except for Eye Rake can go into your hand from your Ringside when you use your Superstar Ability.

Maneuver-Antic Hybrids (0)

Strategy Notes: No Maneuver-Antic Hybrids

Maneuver-Reversal Hybrids (21)

Chop x3
Collar & Elbow Lockup x3
Double Leg Takedown x3
Headlock Takedown x3
Only One Solution Revolution x3
Slap x3
Wrist Lock x3

Strategy Notes: A standard set of reversals. You can put a Chop into your hand from your Ringside with your superstar ability. Only One Solution: Revolution is a very hard card to find so if you're as unlucky as me use can just exchange those badboys for maybe 3 Knee Breaker because it allows you to search your arsenal for a non-unique with Target leg and if you get to use it early in the game you can find a Toe Smash if you don't have any in your ringside or just use it to find any Target leg card, Knee Breaker itself has Target leg so you can use your superstar abilit to put it from your ringside into your hand..

Reversals (10)

Assisted by the Dirtiest Player in the Game x1
Heartbreaker x1
I Won't Be Beat Tonight x3
Not What We Came to See! x1
Try to Get Away x3
You Telegraphed It x1

Strategy Notes: A solid set of reversals. Just from his arsenal he has 5 cards the can stop means, 4 cards that can stop colossals, 2 cards that can stop momentum, 2 cards that can stop extremes (1 can only stop extreme cores) and 1 card that can stop cores.

Final Strategy / Other Notes: There are about 20 cards that you can use your superstar ability to put up to 1 maneuver from your ringside into your hand. Once again his superstar ability is: Once during each of your turns, you may put up to 1 maneuver with "Chop" or "Punch" or Target leg from your Ringside inside into your hand. Playing Underestimate the Competition will have you overturn 8 cards so you can just start using your superstar ability from the start. Steel Chain Shot is a sick card with Ric Flair's superstar ability because you can put it into your hand from your ringside since it targets the leg and also the card's ability is if its reversed by your opponent's Backlash or hand he discards 2 cards, so if he keeps reversing Steel Chain Shot its going to hurt him alot and its the annoying card in this deck because you can keep putting it back in your hand every turn it he keeps reversing it. Toe Smash can give you a quick boost of fortitude of 4 since it also targets the leg and it cost zero fortitude to play so your can use it as your first maneuver. This deck is built totally around Ric Flair's Superstar Ability, cards he bring back with his Superstar Ability has abilites to put other cards into your hand that you normally would just have the luck of the draw to depend on.
