Since several people have expressed interest in messing around with a hypothetical v3 that includes more characters from the Fantasy Strike universe, I decided to start working on turning characters seen in Codex into Yomi decks. I have not tested these characters yet so I have no idea how they would hold up balance-wise. I will add characters from the list as I fully flesh out my ideas. If anyone wants to help me test these, that would be great.
