HARMONY by Yuit Sum Vong

This is the deck that Yuit used to win Flashpoint Finchley 56 in March 2001. She has won other tournaments before with it such as the Z-Man EuroTour event in London. It started some time ago as a pure hand deck of mine. I wanted a deck which would be able to win if I found myself in a cheese sandwich and the Guiding Hand are the best for that, I feel. I then passed it on to Yuit who tuned it around the new Wong Fei Hongin Year of the Dragon by adding chi states. It used to splash a little more Monarch and pack a Spirit Pole for state recycling but only the Queen remains now.

Yuit's favourite card in the deck is Shaolin Surprise which she has used more than once to steal a MegaTank and so win.

The name comes from the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 - the secret society that started it was called the Harmonious Fists. It starts out being tranquil and then gets righteous and finally gets angry and comes at you with a bunch of fives. That's the only sort of Buddhist harmony that the gwailo understand!
