For a while, I've wanted to make an EDH deck themed after martial arts. After a couple days of trawling through Gatherer, this is what I've come up with.

Currently, it's... unfocused. I've got a few ideas on what I'm trying to do here -- straight beatdown, a touch of Voltron, some control/responses, some dragon-flavored bombs and a couple game-winning combos. But I've still got to cut over 70 cards. I want it all, but I can't have it. Trouble is, I'm finding it tough to map out exactly what this deck does.

I'm really going all-in on the Jimmy aspect of this deck. I want it to feel like a martial arts movie. I trimmed the list a couple times to get out any super-expensive cards, because while I'm not exactly on a shoestring budget here, I'm not trying to get too far above $2-300.
