2nd place Belgian Nationals: Lat with a random Embezzle

ryanbantwins 2758

This deck dropped a total of 3 games throughout the weekend, all of them against the same player, all of them while being on matchpoint, ... Dang :)

It's basically the same Lat you've seen a thousand time, but just no longer with Rezeki and Pad Tap.

I was expecting a lot of asset spam, either out of CTM or Ob (Bridgeman version), hence the double Paricia, (and to a lesser extent the overclocks vs CTM). Also with R+, CTM and Bridgeman Ob all in the meta, I had to finnaly give in, and actually play a misdirection in my deck. I hate it ...

The Embezzle is there to 'solve' (overstatement) the lack of HQ pressure this deck normally has. Also imo, in the current meta there a lot of decks that are keeping a lot of valuable operations in hand, and with Embezzle you have another way of dealing with some of those threats in a way that is normally not possible with shaper. Cards like, HHN, tag punishment, audacity, biotic, seamless, a random neurospike ...

I do think however that Hyperbaric is no longer justified in this list over Unity, and Ika might also have become debatable.

You should be ashamed playing misdirection
