Wake Up | 8-1-1 at Worlds 2024 events

Sindarin 236

The Hoshiko I've been brewing for the past few months with the intention to take it to Worlds.

It was 5-0 in the Crown of Servers event, and 3-1-1 on day 1 of standard (the tie was on time, but at the point I had the corp in a headlock, and would have won with a few more minutes)

This deck is teched to go very fast, draw many cards, and set up quickly so that it can challenge most corps. It's particularly effective against glacier decks, but has some slots to help with asset spam/expensive assets matchups.

There's a lot of pretty standard Anarach/Hoshiko cards in here, but some exceptions/additions

Takobi: I prefer this to Turbine; charges very quickly with the breaker suite, is cheaper to install than Turbine, and is one influence less than Turbine

Alarm Clock: wonderful HQ pressure, clicklessly allows you to keep Hosh flipped. And once you have Imp and/or a Trickster Taka going, can really punish the corp.

Friday Chip: Infinite Imp, sometimes clicklessly being charged. Doesn't always need to be installed.

Imp: for Corps that rely on operations to be mean.

Stoneship: very common these days to make being killed harder. Can be used to surprise charge Takobi

No Free Lunch: single tag punishment protection. Was only used for that once all weekend, the rest of the time clicking for 3 credits was fun. Especially to make Punitive math difficult for the Corp.

Worlds was a fantastic event. It was my first worlds after playing the game for the past 10 years. I met so many amazing people, it was the greatest Netrunner experience I've yet had.

And the icing on the cake is my meta-mate @Aruzan won it all. That's three in a row for Canada, baby.

Congratulations on your deck's record!

I like Takobi in Hosh more than K2CP and Imp and Friday Chip from mulching. When I saw this list, I was excited to see all my favorite cards in there. I noticed that the list has no Bones. But it does have an InfinImp Engine. How did you do in asset matchups where you can only likely trash one thing a turn as opposed to trashing 3 or more things with Bones?

Congrats! Amazing record with this and haha you totally did have me during that game we tied; glad we both made our top half prizes regardless!

@knack You have enough money to not need Bones; just trash only what you need to. If you really want to add one, I could see maybe switching an Echelon for a Mimic, and dropping the No Free Lunch.

@milimill Thank you! And yes, I'm very glad we got our prizes. Wonderful to meet you!
