CharCon, Charleston, WV

Now that I've woken up from my whirlwind weekend and my first bits of sleep in 36 hours, I wanted to first and foremost thank Ric for all his hard work and hospitality that he showed this weekend. Ric and his wife were excellent hosts at his store and it was nice to see Ms. Sexy and Little Sexy again. Second, it was great to meet you guys, especially Taylor whom was kind enough to drive me to the airport at 4AM in the morning and talk shop with me during the weee hours in the morning even after the Magic draft that we did. Hope to see you all at worlds!

Considering this is probably one of the last times I'm putting this deck through a tournament, I figure I can put one last strat section for people to peruse with my latest version. Try Melina out, LMK what you guys make of her.

Melina - Virtual Classic
Raw/Face/Cheater

Feminine Wiles
Enough Shenanigans
Really, That's Enough Shenanigans
Fifth Year
Tenth Year
Backstage Autograph Session
Backstage Signature
Backstage Signing Appearance
Pulled Some Strings to Get My Match
Hometown Hero

Notes: Pulled Some Strings usually never gets revealed, though it is nice in rematches when opponents have Hell in a Cell or Inferno Matches and you get caught without protection for Bra & Panties. Fifth Year and Tenth Year help so much just by changing the top card of your arsenal so that you don't have to pass. Same is true with Viva Las Divas. Don't hesitate to use them just to change up the cards on top of your arsenal. Case in point, I usually play Viva Las Divas from hand to search my arsenal for another Viva Las Divas but mainly to change the top card of my arsenal when its a Reversal.

Pre-Match (12)
=====
Houston, Texas
Bra & Panties Match
Product Endorsements (TB)
Old School Psychology
WWE Women's Championship Belt
I'm the Champ - Nothin's Gonna Change That!
The Best Ring Entrance in the Business
The Paparazzi Princess
Underrated Superstar (TB)
It's Showtime
Backstage Donnybrook
The Old Switcheroo

Notes: Houston, TX is the only card that you have to be wary about playing for fear of your opponent playing Flanked by Arena Security. If you even suspect they may play Flanked (Christian, ECW Superstar, MVP, etc) just skip Houston and move on without it. Try and protect your Belt and play it before females. Donnybrook is obviously for people who search for a lot of Reach for the Ropes/Volley This/Once is Enough/Its Great to be Back Here and increases your chances of dumping their hand in the first 2-3 turns. Play as many cards off your arsenal and then use your card drawers like Mod Clutch/Girly Grab/Viva Las Divas/ even DTTAH/Too Many Rules to draw the top card if you want to put it in your hand (ie. Lip Lock) or its a Reversal or Maneuver you don't have the Fortitude to play.

Mid-Match (12)
=====
Victory Roll
The Most Dominant Diva in the WWE
A-List Aggression
2x Ready to Fight
Restricted Use In This Area
The Road to Victory
Took That on the Chin
You're as Graceful as a Cow on Ice
Your Reach Exceeds Your Grasp
2x Skirt the Issue

Notes: After Lip Locking-Blatant Chokehold into Lip Locking-Red Carpet, usually they're dead. Victory Roll after that or Girly Choke (watch out for Undermine if playing a naked unprotected Girly Choke) with the opponent having no hand will always do the trick. Ready to Fights are key to pull the Blatant Chokehold out of the ringside pile. Took that On the Chin is super helpful in stopping the first turn of BASH decks, Sucker Punch etc, hopefully allowing you to go back on the offensive and remove their fortitude with Dominant Diva/Drastic Times.

Maneuvers (14)
=====
2x Girly Punch
3x Girly Grab
3x Modified Clutch Onto Opponent
2x Waist Lock (TB)
Girly Choke
Melina's Boot Choke
Blatant Chokehold
The Red Carpet Treatment

Notes: Waist Locks are great supplements for those permanent cards that Drastic Times can't get to.

Actions (22)
=====
A-List Assault
Confessions of a True Diva
Drastic Times - Drastic Measures
2x Ego Boost
3x Lip Lock
Melina's Scream
3x Viva las Divas
2x Everyone Wants to Watch Women Wrestle
Don't Cross the Boss
One of a Kind
2x Shoot Action
3x That's Balanced
The Switch

Notes: Everyone Wants to Watch Women Wrestle is amazing in that it allows you to more easily pass with the assumption the opponent will probably draw something unusable during their turn, like a reversal. Don't Cross/No Chance was chosen over Volley This because not being able to play Actions is very detrimental in this deck. If you're not worried about discard/chain decks, Ego Boosts can be replaced. The Switch can be found after playing a Ready to Fight (usually it gets Roaded, but that doesn't stop you from using the Chain trait)

Reversals (24)
=====
3x A Revolution of the Mind
Backhand Slap (TB)
Booby Trap (TB)
Divine Intervention
2x Don't Try This at Home
3x Elbow to the Face
Just Bring It
3x Once is Enough
Too Many Rules and Too Many Refs
Hold the Phone
The Coach Says, "Today's the Day!"
The Raw Deal Revolution
Back Throw
Carlito Says "That's Not Cool!"
3x No Chance in Hell (TB)

It's kind of light and I've toyed with Over Sell Maneuvers and Raw and Readys, both work very well.

Thanks for your time.
