Disclaimer: I will not focus on Art or grammar, unless the latter would make the deck too difficult to understand.

Well then... Wong Su Kong was a lot to go through, no joke.

To begin with, I actually find the gimmick interesting? I admit it's not something I'd run, based on personal preferences. But I can see the appeal for at least a one-off episode style thing of forcing a player to fight against their own deck, and this is one way to go about it. There's potential there, and good shenanigans are always fun when pulled off. Plus, I have to give a kudos for the sheer amount of effort put into coming up with all the cards here!

The main negative side to this deck I suppose is inevitable with the gimmick: being a bit difficult to follow and prepare, even from GM side. There are so many cards that suddenly need the physical copies and you need to shuffle them, assuming the player is intended to play the normal way a player would and vice versa for the GM. I also wonder, if "Staples and Simple Card Moves are unchanged" is necessary? Staples are part of your deck, so it would make sense for Wong Su Kong to use them as his Simple Card Moves, and you using his Simple Card Moves as your Staples. Unless I am severely misunderstanding the intent, but that is how it seems to read.

I'd like to ask also a bit of a clarification on the specifics of how Bargain For A King works, to make sure I'm getting this correctly? Namely, am I understanding it correctly, that after swapping with the player, Wong Su Kong will then get the passive effect that activates each turn, and the new Plan to Win also appears on his side of the field - and the new Plan to Win is essentially the Player's {Ace}? Does the player also get access to the Invocation in the swapped deck?

Still, good job!

Yeah it a weird NPC to be honest I still look at any work I have done on them after and I still find spelling/needs for clarification across the board would it surprise you I had to cut a few power card moves to meet the 2 pages. Anyways I was back and fourth on the staples/simple card move exchange for a while and I did decide to make it static mostly due to having some standard identity and coordination for what is needed, and trying to come up with what card draw and some other staples if the player has for an NPC was not something I want to tackle at this time still, granted that is still something that the card themselves can do and I would have to tackle that eventually so if I get a chance to flesh it out better for that regard.
For the questions Bargain isn't supposed to be an option as you have to build from the warrior Kings, the passive I tried to make it give an edge to make things work fluently for an NPC with what I think might be a decent selection for decks to think about. And yes the idea is that he immediately goes into the Player [Ace] and the passive enhancing or supporting the deck he stole play-style.
