Kurd the Vivi is a basher?

Basically, you can design anything with a good WT and WL and it will win, later
if not sooner.  This design has been kicked around for a long time.  About two
years ago, when Ebenezer Frothingslosh was perfecting his basher design, this
was his "perfect" basher: 13-3-9-21-21-3-5, add points as necessary (9 points
are left, I think).

Personally, I've had *a lot* more success with DF 11+ bashers than I've had
with the DF 7 ones, but I can honestly say that I've never had a basher
who had a chance at anything better than 17 WT 17 WL (actually, I just sent
in a 13-5-10-21-17-10-8 Basher for the tourney), so I can't say if a 21 WT/WL
would make a 7 DF a non-problem.

Enough people have done this, however, that I'd say that it has its merits.  I
just hope their favorite is the WH and not the QS or MS.
