South Wind
Discard South Wind · 1 step from ready
1 step from ready with 14 useful tiles. The next best tile kept 10.
Sifu's reasoning
The South Wind is a lone wind that is neither your seat wind nor the round wind, so even a pong of it scores nothing. Without it you keep 2 complete sets, a pair of Red Dragons, and 2 partial shapes: 1 step from ready with 14 useful tiles. Many players would throw the 7 Bamboo from your two-sided 6-7 Bamboo, but it keeps only 7 useful tiles instead of 14. Same steps from ready? Keep the tiles that accept the most draws.
