(Downward) Winrate Spire

The story begins with some tagme Hoshiko Shiro deck ripping my R&D off for 18 cards via Fear The Masses and combo off for over 12 points.

Not once, not twice, but twelve times too many.

Originally one of the players who beat me suggested padding extra cards (to be fair I am still iffy about it, since you know, more Agendas and all), however after initial testing, it works more often than I think it would, and here I am.

… You can clearly see he said “pad more cards” but he never told me how many cards should I pad on my deck right.

Okay enough with the jokes. The deck itself is a joke, I dunno why you are trying to look for a guide here, however here you are looking at me blabbering about it, so I guess I should give you a pointer or two. You are going to rely on the mercy of your deck, and you have to understand the matchup you are currently facing. Aggressively mulligan for a hand that has remotely any economy, since your ID helps, but only for 9~15 drip economy (except versus Palantir Az, in that case you should have a bit more money to work with). The ridiculously redundant amount of searchers should help you pull out the specific tool needed for your matchup or just a general out to some gamestate, however if the deck tells you to do haphazard flatline Snare! or some Prison Jinteki wannabe this game, you are going to have to comply with what it wants. Oh and maybe legit read all of the cards in this deck, I can assure you both side have never seen a large portion of the deck.

For the last few days I have been goofing around with this deck over on Jinteki.net, and most of the time over the course of 10~12 matches played each day I won about 40%~50% of them. Yeah that is a horrible winrate, however the more ironical thing is that it HAS a winrate to begin with.

So yeah, put your heart into your game, and the winning agenda will always be on top, just in time for you to spin it five cards under. Good luck netrunning, because you are going to need it.

God forbid you taking this to a Nisei sanctioned event and timeout win with it as this deck would win a lot of game scoring the first agenda (and forever stay the only agenda that ever shows its face up) if that is the case.
