(DO NOT REVEAL YOUR JYD BACKSTAGE CARD. It's just there to give you No Sell, basically. We want the old Chain.)

Basic idea of the deck is this: Your goal is to hit Houston to lower the opponent's hand with Psychologies and see more of your deck. Use everything you've got including your Signing Appearance and Donnybrook to try to fish Chain out of your now 40 card Arsenal. If we assume you don't need to utilize Home Town Hero you see the top 6 for Houston, and 7 for your hand (8-3 for Houston+2 for Belt) which is 13 or roughly 1/3 of your deck, then 14 with the signing and anywhere from 21-26 after your Donnybrook based on how Houston's picks went. This leaves you with a greater than 50% shot of starting with the Chain. Which is great. Your opponent should've ditched all their Houston cards for Old School Psychologies to make for a -4HS with Old School Manager and Houston. From there, a Face the Music or two empties the hand and the Chain kills the Backlash deck and keeps the hand from recovering. Then you smash their face with B2B moves, the Piledriver and The Thump. If your elaborate killing of the hand and Backlash deck don't go so well, just start throwing moves. After all, you can start with Vertical Suplex and Body Slam!

Obviously not the ideal JYD build, but definitely a fun alternative and a bit of a thematic deck in keeping with JYD's character.

Parenthetical text is based on a ruling I'm not 100% sure about. Should the Backstage card rewrite the Chain while packed and not revealed just remove it and replace the Over Sells and No Sells with A Revolution of the Mind x3, Too Many Rules and Too Many Refs, and Enough With The Trash Talk (T) x2.

Either way, just really depends on if you go with No Sells or Revolution of the Mind.
