One-shots fer days. Lots of ways for turn 2 Shu Yun, and then you just "storm," off turn 3 and/or 4 for the victory.

High Tide shenanigans + Red Rituals to make a ton of mana (and ways to convert it), draw cards with cheap blue spells with downsides that don't matter because you're one-shotting someone, and burn + buff spells to get the rest of the way. Very consistent, cutthroat duel deck. Almost every single game, uninterrupted, is a turn 4 victory.

Blockers shouldn't be a problem most games with all the ways to bounce/remove/tap opponents creatures or make Shu Yun unblockable.

The biggest bane to this deck is having Shu Yun removed. 5 mana Shu Yun is 1000x worse, so we try to protect him with counterspells. The two 2 mana Doublestrikers are quick routes to victory if Shu Yun is shut down, plus the haste guys pick up buffs to close games. Some of the best burn spells in the format are also present. I'm having a terrible game if I haven't won by turn 5. If your opponent is known to have counters or removal, it's best to hold off a turn to have counter backup to protect Shu Yun. Otherwise, it's a balls-to-the-wall, kill-em-dead style deck.
