Thanks for the breakdown, especially pointing out that you don't wan to use Nanase's ability as that changes things a bit. I'm still working and just have a few ideas.

When first looking, I thought Miserea might be a good match since the ruling allows you to use Katon on any monster, not for the defense, but for damaging for a burn which can still be useful. However, it seems that you're not really going that route since Nanase's skill isn't in the Image, so I would think your idea of x3 is better than x4.

I was aslso going to recommend possibly using Benefit as a substitute for a few copies of Art of Body, but that also doesn't necessarily work with your image. My thinking on it was from your brief mention in the begining about possible gauge gain. I know Benefit is great for Life gain, but I've actually found it very good for stabalizing my gauge supply in some builds. Especially with the Dragon from Shinobi, since it gauges on spell casting on your turn or opponents turn and makes Benefit essentially a 2 Life 2 Gauge Attack Null in specific circumstances. The other benefit of Benefit in your build is that you're using Return to Underworld, so Fudogame can pop back to the center on your next turn, etc.. which leads me to a question about Cat.

You already have a fantastic looping system in place with Hades, Water Ploy, etc... I was thinking that perhaps Odd Ritual might be of use for both Cat, all the Size 1's, etc..., but that is taking into account the possible use of Benefit as well. The thinking would be Benefit would provide the resources to use 2 Odd Rituals and 1 Return every time it is cast. I realize that Cat is the only only that would NEED Odd instead of Return, but with Hoozuki, it would give you a draw from the drop if you were able to call Cat from there instead of from your hand.

I will have a more thoughtufl approach after spending more time on this but thought I'd toss a few things out so far and see if any sticks with your image. I'm not of the ilk to look at your recipe and think I have a better idea, just the opposite, so I am only running through possibilities that may do more harm than good to your overall image.

Also, I happen to have a lot of Foils of Bibikawaru and we'd be happy to send you some, as well as any other support you may be looking for. I think you already know that Katana is my main collection and with the exception  of the Chaos Trial Deck, I have a minimum of x4 of every Katana card in English, including the Dual World, PR's, etc... and sometimes 20 copies. Even some RRR's are at an amount that we could never use, like Ibuki... There is no pressure though. Just consider it an open, unending offer;)

Let me know if you have any clarifying thoughts or ideas and I'll take those into account as we continue to go over the profile.
