one eye, two eye, RED-EYE, blue eye [2nd NANPC BOST-on]

Santa 1736

reg-hosh

This was my take on Reg Hosh for the NANPC BOST-on event.

Nothing too fancy, but something I knew I could play on zero sleep after taking a RED-EYE across the country.

Deck building:

The feeling of building my lists on the west coast of the US less than 12 hours before the tournament started was quite the experience.

This list felt familiar enough, but definitely could use some smoothing out.

Deckbuilding strategy:
- Throw some good Hosh cards in a list, and call it a day.
- "Oh wait, Fermenter probably better now that less Mav? ... humm, guess I'll toss some of those in"
- "Everyone keeps staying they never play the Ashen? Guess we'll cut that, toss in a Boomerang, and cut the Labors."
- "Oh I remember 1x Finality being fun in Reg-Hosh. Why not."
- "Feels a little low on draw, especially against a kill deck if we need to save Steelskin? Guess we toss in an Earthrise? But we are already at 48 cards. That doesn't seem quite right. Oh whatever."
- "Cut the Ice Carver, but ummm yea some ice is still annoying. Ok, lets play the 1x Leech.
- "Little concerned about pricing away our K2CP Turbine, ok maybe just 2?"
- "Moshing seems like something we maybe only need 2 of. Oh wait that might be wrong..."

I really do need to start showing up with runner lists I have actually played before.

Req's:
- Cut Leech
- Finality and Bankhar kind of nombo. Hard to hold onto the Finality.
- Moshing is good, espically if we need to go digging.
- Mess around with it. See what you like. Reg Hosh is Reg Hosh.

Travel

~2.5 hours sleeping on the plane, plus 1 hour crashed in the airport terminal, and I was ready to play caffeined up.
