North Wind
Discard North Wind · West looks ready, this is safest
The safest tile against West, who looks ready.
Sifu's reasoning
The North Wind you just drew is the tile least likely to deal in to West, who looks ready (an exposed set, a middle tile thrown right after a call): 3 of the 4 copies are already in sight. Your hand is 2 steps from ready at best, too slow to race West, so Sifu stops chasing it. The tempting choice is the 1 Dots from your edge 1-2 Dots, but it is risky against West.
