Welcome to Deck of the Week, my new series where I post a deck that has either won a tournament or title, or take a competitor and look at cards that you might want to play in their deck.
We’re going to start with my Underworld Challenger Deck from Marktoberfest IV
Competitor: Freedom Belle (Iku Zo)
Entrance: Backed by the Rack
1. Chop Down
2. Tandem Takedown
3. Double Headlock
4. Flip Kick
5. Super Hip Toss
6. Elevated Armbar
7. Drawing Dimes
8. Body Slam
9. Ricotta
10. UnAmerican Elbow Smash
11. The Crowd is Marking Out
12. All You Can Eat Ribs and Porkchops
13. Kick into the Corner
14. The Seven Seals
15. Patella Buster
16. Field of Fire
17. Overhead Strike
18. Inner Fire
19. Suppressive Fire
20. Mind Shield
21. Mind Grab
22. Cosmic Charging Splash
23. Reflective Parry
24. Psychic Grasp
25. Dodging Dash
26. Dodge
27. Force Shield
28. Freedom Rings
29. Belle Hammer
30. Belle Ringer
Notes: My goal here was simple, draw or flip cards until I had my Finishes and then use my Gimmick to spam them until Scarlet Graves ran out of stops. I included Patella Buster as another stop, bury effects to put her Spotlights back into her deck and recursion to get back stops and Finishes in case my dice couldn’t roll Strike.

Deck of the Week 11-14-2022 Hold the Line Harry
Hello and welcome back to Deck of the Week! This week I’ve got a real treat for you all: we have a Hold the Line Harry deck played by the man himself, which he piloted to a win in the free Sunday night event after he ran the super fun looking Create a Character event Enter the Final Dungeon. Harry’s always a blast to play against and I’m glad he agreed to share his deck with us. Lets tuck in.
Competitor: Hold the Line Harry

Well, there we have a tournament winning deck from a great competitor playing a competitor I don’t yet own or see a lot of. Join us next week where we have the other winning deck from last week that Harry used: King Pink! And as always, if you have a deck you’d like to see built or one to show off email me at: supershowdecks@gmail.com and remember to include how you’d like to be credited or I’m just calling you Some Jobber when I post your deck.
Deck of the Week 11-21-2022 King Pink
This week’s deck is the other promised deck from Hold the Line Harry’s win streak after his event at The Final Dungeon.
Harry’s Notes: Here is the King Pink list from last night. Super aggro strikes. (The only changes from the list used to win the tournament – was the Ring of Fire Stops out and Draw Stops in) Running Blast into the Light Tubes even in non-stipulation matches is really cheeky. But I only use it to reset, usually after they have used their stops on all the other good strikes.
‘Oh – you stopped 718’ ‘Oh – you stopped break the seal’ ‘Oh – you stopped my strike finish’ How about I play Blast into the light tubes, blow up all your shit, and bury all my killer strikes to draw them again!
Competitor: King Pink
Entrance: Let’s do the Time Warp again with Dr. Dick
- Snap Punch
- Arm and Collar Tie Up
- Snap Headlock
- Snap Kick
- Super Hip Toss
- Elevated Armbar
- Rolling Forearm

- Falling Powerslam
- Bow and Arrow

- Slammin’ PixelPlex (Side Note: I pitched the name for this card for our Pixel Palace event, Boss added the Slammin’ keyword.)

- Panic Slam
- Back Rake
- Blast into the Light Tubes
- Top Rope Drop
- Kicker Hold
- Spinning Elbow
- Back Drop
- Double Finger Lock
- Pink Splash

Deck of the Week 11-7-2022 Frequent Flyer!
I love this competitor, he’s Agility 10 and has a strong gimmick that gives him a fourth Finisher and fights hand disruption. It does cost you a Stop at #20, but that’s really a small price to pay for a surprise second Grapple Finish your opponent has to watch for. His printed Finishes key off of cards with Flying in the name, of which there are plenty to get you some deckbuilding options, and his Submission is ridiculously good since it allows you to substitute your skill rating with your opponent’s on your Finish Roll, which can make for some amazing outcomes if your opponent’s statline is opposite from yours.

Deck of the Week! 10-31-2022
Alright, this week I have a reader submission, which is great because it shows we’re getting read here. I’ll drop the deck straight from the Pirate’s mouth:
Competitor: Spite – Singles Champion of ArmourCon Edition Played by Simon Strauss
Entrance: I used CoK (Champion of Kickstarter) but spite doesn’t need a specific entrance.
Spectacle Type : Newman but Spite is fairly ambivalent here as well.
1- snap punch
2- arm & collar tie up
3- snap headlock
4- flash kick
5- going over the table
6- elevated armbar
7- knife edge chop
8- sweet & salty impact drop
9- split finger lock
10- can you afford this?
11- back and forth action
12- king’s counter
13- kick into the corner
14- DDT
15- Soul Burn
16- dangerous knee assault
17- American dragon drop
18- abdominal stretch
19- poison stars (skill card 10 agi/9 strike)
20- neckbreaker
21- American dragon leg lock
22- cosmic charging smash
23- back from the brink (skill card grapple 8+)
24- torso twister
25- shotgun kick
26- dodge
27- the fix is in
28- offense taken
29- hang’m from the yardarm
30- bow to the pirate queen
Notes: For the stops I’m using primarily either the draw or cage versions and the shuffle back or recursion 25-27’s. The main mechanics on the play are to push powerful and scary grapples to get my opponent to throw stops down. This sets up the finish sub as a stop option for me. Additionally there’s huge recursion options off back from the brink and the finish grapple which can grab it and restock my grapples. Rerolls are there not usually to try to win a turn roll but also more to try to lose it by enough to trigger gimmick. Poison stars and the see1stop1 19-21 are stop anys for spite when her gimmick is active.
