Punissuaq ☠️ [57th @ Worlds]

Identical to the previous CO-winning list, except with 3rd Mindscaping swapped for Mavirus as a meta call against Turtle (which turned out to be 100% correct, it did a lot of work).

Went 3-1-1 on the day. Notable plays include my first "honest" Issuaq counter (advance to 5, pass); and in an incredibly tight game against a rich Crim with Stoneship defense, IAA with 10 seconds left on the clock. Thanks to 2x Anemone, Daniela, and Fujii, my opponent was a single card shy to steal for the win, and I was credit perfect to score out.

I suspected I'd eventually hit a tie with this deck, and it finally happened (since the Issuaq fake point is indeed fake 😂), in an incredibly tight game against a superbly-piloted Freedom. We could have flipped a coin to give one of us a shot at Day 2, but it honestly felt tacky.

Love this list, it's fun, flexible, and consistently strong, even against a field heavy with kill protection.
