In a bid to inject more ideas to revolution and a shout out to anyone else playing or intending to play Revo, here is yet another deck that was successful at an unofficial tournament that we had earlier today. It got me the results of 6 pts with a 2-1 record. I hope that all these deck lists would give you all a clearer picture of how a revo deck is formed and the concepts behind them. Without further delay, here's the deck list:

Prematch: Play first 4 cards, draw 2 for Intercontinental for bigger starting hand.
In Game: Scissors Hold is the key card to utilise your ability. Discard an extreme to get it in your hand. Keep using it until it sticks. This is the reason why the deck has lesser 0F maneuvers as compared to the rest of the deck. Once there is a base fortitude to work on, go for one for the money to find bloody nightmare. This would turn all your cores to mean as well, effectively making use of both climbing the ladder AND the New breed. But if your opponent has 7F or more, skip that and go straight for means. Recover your maneuvers while your opponent mills 2 every turn for your ability.
Unofficial Tourney personal Report:
Match 1: VS Sheamus
Sheamus was a deck that I challenged Roy to play and in turn he challenged me to form a Kevin Thorn deck. Its only right that we start the tournament by going against each other. I had a good draw with A New Breed Unleashed while he searched for quick Submission. I hit the new breed unleashed and tried to continue the assault but was reversed. From there, Sheamus just plummets me with his cores and means until I finally reversed with a Two for the Show and got a Desperate Kick in. From there, I just mean-ed my way through while making sure he mills 2 every turn for my ability. Won the game using some mean extreme.
1-0
Match 2: VS The Undertaker
This taker was the same taker that Josh used the previous round. I know cause the pretzel jerk was still in the deck. LOL. Anyway, this was a hard fought match. We traded cores after cores while I went with my ability to mill him every turn. Couldn't remember much of the in between, but I was running out of maneuvers in my hand and I know that he has Old School (reverses extreme) in his hand, which would have killed me if he used it as a reversal. I had around 6 cards in my deck so I wouldn't have been able to survive the next turn if i didn't play a maneuver. However, I manage to use the effect of Dark Kiss which mills him 3 cards for its effect, leaving him with 0 cards in his deck. To finish him off, I used my ability and soon, the Undertaker was resting in peace.
2-0
Match 3: VS Brock Lesnar
Had a taste of this Brock Lesnar in the previous tournament but I believe Ian streamlined his maneuvers more this time round. Similar to the first game, I had a bad hand and soon, I ate more than half a deck of damage before I reversed it. Used a desperate assault and mean-ed my way while using my ability every turn. Soon, we had around the same cards in our deck. I successfully played my Homicidal Lunge and was contemplating on finishing him off with my means as his mid-match slots were already full. I made the wrong decision to play a follow-up, which led to a very devastating and game winning F-5. Perfect way to end the match. Post-game I checked with him and he was just waiting for me to play a follow-up all along. Didn't matter much because he had other reversals for the other means as well.
2-1
Good game, and I hope to see more people joining us the next time round!
