Dragon Knight, Maximilian has an on-enter ability. With Dragon Knight, Calamity Jane, I can not only charge and draw using Maximilian's skill, but I can then [Rest] him to reduce my opponent's gauge by 1. I can then use Force Return or The Skies in your Hand to get my monsters back into my hand. I can then call Maximilian again to charge and draw, then use him to attack. Or, if my hand has the cards, I can use Jane to further decrease my opponent's gauge.

Dragon Knight, El Quixote needs to hit the opponent in order to take advantage of his charging. Since the deck relies on burn, the aggro-centric requirement of attacking dilutes the deck's intent. *However* this game focuses on combat so El Quixote might actually need to be in the deck. Further testing is required.

And like I said, the deck focuses mostly on burn. Using your abilities, like Dragon Knight, Iwamoto and Dragon Knight, Wittmann to whittle away your opponent's life, while controlling their gauge, is how you want to play this deck. Red Dragon Shield is perfect for that. It protects you, and punishes your opponent. You might be thinking that 2 gauge for 1 damage is a bad trade, but it's not. That's 1 direct damage they cannot guard. With weapons like Divine Armor, Aegis not seeing much play, you'll almost always deal 1 damage.

From the math perspective, 2 gauge should equal 1.33 damage. And the dragon shield nullifies an attack which, if it's 2 damage or more is a minimum +0 exchange. So mathematically speaking, you're losing .33 damage, but otherwise the entire transaction is a wash. And the stronger the attack you guard, the better the transaction will be for you, advantage-wise.

I hope that answered your question. If you want to post your version of Calamity Jane, I would be more than happy to offer some feedback. And remember to keep in mind, the differences between my Jane and your Jane is only approach. I want to sit back and watch my opponent suffer. Your build likely wants to go toe-to-toe with your opponent and feed 'em the sharp end of your sword.
