Defense is the Best Offense- 1st place Louisiana Regional

flowerscandrink 188

This deck went 4-1 in swiss and 1-0 in elimination beating PE/PE/NEH/NEH/RP. Only loss was to Blue Sun when I click 4 stimhacked into a Janus, murdering myself. Not my finest moment.

Not much to say about this deck other than the decision to bring 2 plascretes. I know that it feels awful to waste deck slots on them since they are dead in so many match ups but after having my eye on the current meta in LA and in other southern regionals I decided that it was necessary given the large amount of people playing NEH butchershop. It definitely paid off hugely and it didn't hurt too badly since the second plascrete was card 46 (#slotthe46th). I feel no shame slotting a 46th card since Kate is a drawing machine with 2x QT, 3x Diesel, and BABY.

Notably I left out Deus X. I regretted it pretty badly given the circumstances (playing against 2 PE and dying from a Janus) but considering that I only lost one game all day and beat both PE I played, maybe that speaks loudly to leaving it out.

Clot did a huge amount of work for me and I can't find any reason not to #slottheclot in a PPVP Kate. Just do it.
