This deck abuses repeatedly entering and exiting stances to allow you to trigger Flurry of Blows and Mental Fortress again and again. Calm keeps generating extra energy so you can continue to hop in and out of stances (make even easier when you have Violet Lotus), which repeatedly triggers Flurry of Blows and Mental Fortress for big damage and block. Get out of Wrath to end your turn, then rinse and repeat.

Draft up to 3 copies of Flurry of Blows, and it doesn't hurt to have a second copy of Mental Fortress to help you against boss fights with big damage turns.

Meditate and Simmering Fury are particularly powerful cards as they give you good control over your next turns while manipulating stances, reducing the chances of being stranded in Wrath on a damaging turn.

Rushdown helps keep your turns long, giving you lots of options, and can save you from being stuck in Wrath in clutch scenarios.

You'll want plenty of ways to get into and out of Calm and Wrath. It can be useful to have a Tranquility in a pinch. Crescendo can be useful if your main sources of damage are non-retaining.

Don't forget the exit cards which have good stats and give even more options - in some cases these can be better than a Calm or Wrath.

Talk to the Hand can help you spend energy on offense while maintaining defense with cards like Tantrum and Flurry of Blows.

Scry effects can be useful to ensure you have Calm and Wrath when you need them, so consider picking up Third Eye, Cut Through Fate or Foresight.
