It's time for me to retire the outfit and change clothes!

What will come next? I don't know, but this was fun:
2nd CoS [NO ICE!!] Barf Thule 🤮 (4-1)
... And maybe watchout for an AoT :)

Overview

For runner see:
- Unbananas [Worlds: 5-3]

I've had a wonderful time playing outfit my first tournament season:

1. Too Big Two Deal (2nd [3-1], and 4th [3-1] @Vancouver CO)
   
2. Too Big News Deal (4th of 20 @Seattle CO)
   
3. 1st APAC: Santa's Workshop [Swiss: 7-0, Cut: 3-1]
   
4. An Apple a Day [5th, and 6th @Cascadia/NA Continentals]
   
5. 5th @Interconts [DEFEATED]: The Brother Brawler!
   

This is my 6th, and final version of the list!

Tournament Results [5-3]:

The losses

1. vs Esâ
   • Esâ is an extremely hard matchup for Big Deal Outfit, as the general playstyle gives up central accesses late.
     
2. vs Hosh
   
   • I was in a position to win so long as 2 agendas weren't sitting on top of R&D, but unfortunately R&D did not hold.
     
3. vs Hosh
   • The runner hit 3 points off R&D turn one
   • No econ cards really showed up, making me have to Pivot for my Too Big to Fails, and never seeing a Hostile Takeover
   • The runners rig was setup far faster than I could do anything about, and I simply lost after that point without much ability to defend myself.

The 3rd loss is the main reason I'm planning to switch off Big Deal Outfit:

• It can have games it blows the runner out of the water, and win any matchup, but it can also have games where it folds entirely not drawing any of the pieces.
• All decks have variance, but I've found the variance of Big Deal Outfit to be a bit higher, and other decks have now caught up to it in power level since the rotation.

Wow!

I can't believe it's only been 6 months!

I have been astounded by this community, and what an absolute joy it's been!

Joining Bost has been so fun, and I'm so proud of what we've done!

ECG you have been such a welcoming and lovely community.

Unband, thanks for the Bananas, and the place to stay after worlds. Was great to meet you all!

I look forward to many more memories, continuing to meet new, and old players, and seasons to come!
