Shipping to Loxley, 1st + Undefeated @ Nottingham CTK

You know that me and @cobalt are still at it ⏩⚡🔥

This is a variation on Hoshiko of Loxley that techs for not getting murdered and dealing with assets. The Stoneship Chart Room almost completely neutralises a number of combos, particularly those that rely on Touch-Ups. Shame I didn't play against any of those really. Still Stoneship Chart Room provides a very handy emergency panic button against chip damage decks like Au Co. Even the worst case is just banking 2 clicks of draw for later which has some niche applications like getting through an unexpected Piranhas or just desperately digging for the Oops I Win button.

I swapped the stoneships in for a Boomerang and a Leech which I definitely missed a bit but overall seems fine.

-1 Eye For an Eye, -1 Clean Getaway, +1 Cupellation, +1 Strike Fund is a change I do like in general since Cupellation has such a wide range of applications as well as filling the "HQ burst multi-access" slot. Removing a rezzed Hostile Architecture for a 3 credit discount and dodging the damage feels great!

Hannah also does a lot and might be worth keeping in general. Asides from making asset matchups much easier, she notably did great work helping me click through a Bran on the remote. Having a little piece-of-mind against tags is also always appreciated.

Thanks @cobalt and @harmonbee for running a very fun event and all the other lovely people I got to hang out with for being cool <3

reg ass!

How much of Bahia Bands value do you see in being able to offload Fueno? Also how are you on Hantu v Odore? I feel like Hantu being able to break Biawak without external synergy might be an upside, depending on how often you plan to get past it.

Reg is where it's at :D

Bahia Bands makes it feel OK to install Fueno even in matchups where you don't need the extra trashing power.

I'm pretty negative on Hantu here. Having no way to break if virus counters get purged is too big of a downside for me. At least with Odore you can throw your life savings at an unexpected Biawak rather than just crying.

The overall philosophy here is definitely that all the awkward problems can be solved by throwing money at them.
