Deck valid after Fifth Rotation |
I decided to attend Singapore CO at the last minute and I had no clue what to bring. Everything feels scary in Big Hoshiko world and it's not obvious how to beat it.
Then I ran into Doomrat playing Maninthemoon's Ob on jnet casual and it looked like a deck that could beat Big Hoshiko by just requiring a huge amount of frontloaded tempo that a big deck can struggle to find early. This intuition proved to be right as this killed an Apoc Hoshiko, a 45 Hoshiko, and two Big Hoshikos today.
I would have liked to tinker with Maninthemoon's list more but didn't have time for it. The only changes I made were -1 Anemone +1 Hard-Hitting News (easy one) and -1 BOOM! +1 Rashida Jaheem. This one is a little weird: Rashida is sometimes sort of a 4th Svyatogor Excavator, sometimes gives you a very explosive opening, but is often very awkward in the mid to late game. Someone who's good at slots may find ways to fit more, but I think the third BOOM! is probably a good fit, though an End of the Line wouldn't be bad either.
Thanks to Ghost00 for holding this, and to my opponents.

grats on the win and well deserved, excellent meta call. Big Hoshiko requires a very specific draw to beat Border Control out of Ob, and you exploited that to the fullest in our game! |
Nice deck :) Well done!
