Glad you like it @mondroid :) While I agree that Sifu's great against Slade, I would say Slade is also great against Sifu, primarily because he's faster. As a result he goes first when it's EMP vs EMP where each one's sitting behind the Silverblade Fighter. In a lot of those cases I've seen the Slade lineup win.

On Kelan I agree he can melt Jicarilla, but what I have done once or twice is stick the Soothsayer behind Jica and a couple of Silence units behind that (e.g. the Skinwalker, Nalara, Endura). If you KNOW Kelan's coming, this is a way to get his damage (even with the Lorkus bonus) down to zero.
