Panic Hoshiko (1-4 @ Torino CO 2022)

Drager 331

This was the hoshiko "pretty close to the last standard version" or "panic Hoshiko", that i build for the first Tournament after the Midnight sun.

Even if in testing (limited testing, just the week prior) this deck was decent, I was able to have only one win against a PE with some lucky multiaccess from R&D.

3 Boomerangs were my main way to break into servers for the first few turns, but the massive Jinteki presence at the tournament (with their DNA Tracker and Anansi), and the hyper-fast-PD were my downfall.

If we add the brilliant "yellow Shell-like-game-but-with-ice" (Boomed when didn't run the IAA remote, after finding 4 point on top of RnD) it was a disaster for this deck.

A little game recap:

Game 1 : Loss vs Saduro's PE
I was accessing pretty constantly in rnd, but I wasn't able to steal his Obokata Protocol in the remote.

Game 2: Win vs AlFlex's PE
Lucky multiaccess in rnd with 5 cards. I stole a Blood in the Water, and then accessing (with 4 cards remeining), stealing and winning with an Obokata Protocol.

Game 3: Loss vs Wowarlok's Pravdivost
As I said, never was able to run an IAA Drago and Boomed

Game 4: Loss vs Edoardo Brambilla's Saraswati
I was multi-accessing again in rnd and hq, but the second ice in rnd pretty much stopped me.

Game 5: Lose vs Camilla's PD
Arella was accelerating the game. everything was too fast.

Shout out to Rebu, and all the Torino crew, congrats to Mr_Pelle for winning the whole thing! that keeps the Milano meta up! See you (I hope) in Milano for a startup tournament!
