It's better in Hosh (1-3, 127th Summer Showdown 2025)

I believe in this deck! It's versatile and has a few different angles of attack.

I built it specifically with an eye on the Nebula matchup, and we do pretty well in that matchup since we can quickly get our breakers and are also packing some disruption in the form of Gourmand and Cacophony for trashing their operations.

This deck was originally a Noise virus-based sabotage + trash in Loup. But after testing, I felt that a deck built around Avgustina + Madani wasn't worth the effort, and Cacophony is weak against Nebula since they often have 3-6 trashable assets. It's also very easy to get locked out with an Audrey v2 package against Nebula.

Card notes

Heliamphora - this card did WORK. Kidnapping Petty Cash and used RLC / Nanomanagement from Archives is the #1 thing that Nebula players don't expect, and when they purge, you can often just run Archives and steal an agenda.

Rising Tide is fine. It breaks Ping, which is what it needs to do.

Unity instead of Buzzsaw because Buzzsaw needs Leech support and I didn't think we have enough central runs to make Leech work. Unity also breaks the usual yellow code gates Mestnichestvo, N-Pot, and Piranhas relatively cheaply. I included a GAMEDRAGON™ Pro for fun, and because I wanted to make Unity 4 strength by default. But I confused it with Echelon -_- so Gamedragon was a dead card on the day. I'd cut it for a Boomerang, probably.

Cacophony - I don't think this card is strong into Nebula. I mostly packed this for a bit more win percentage against Asset Au Co, but I didn't see any of those on the day. Popping it once makes it feel almost worth it, but popping it twice feels good. Probably these would be better as Hannah "Wheels" Pilintra.

I do think Fencer Fueno is a pretty good replacement for Azimat, especially in the Keiko package. 2 memory for Azimat is just so clunky, even if you have 6 memory.

The Twinning for HQ multiaccess. A fun line you can do if you have Trickster Taka is to run Archives or a naked remote, then spend credits before access to pump an icebreaker to get Twinning counters.
