Green Hoshiko goes swimming(3-2 12th @ Italian Nats)

oggy 5

Ever since falling flat with Arissana @Swiss nationals, the only runner i played was Esâ. For the Italian team event the dice told me to play shaper tho. I have seen the Hannah Panto Deep Dive combo on jnet and thought it might be fun. Put in all the goodstuff and miss bones for synergy with the genius invention. It was a big surprise how great the deck was! so i decided to bench Esâ and play Lat in the main event too. It was then when I realized:

Me Grug. Me like cave more than TV

My intention was to run 3 Daily Casts and 2 Stoneship Chart Room but when drawing the 3. stoneship in my second game against anarchomushroom i was like "Huch I don't think that is in the decklist I submitted." Fortunately this is still a legal deck and i was allowed to swap the numbers on the list.

I won against PD, R+ and Outfit.The losses were:

  1. Against anarchomushrooms R+ on stream where I grugged by accidently looking at the 4. card when drawing with Dr. Nuka. After talking to a judge I drew that card with a click and had to discard. Later on I played a deepdive with too few credits to steal the bellona I saw.

  2. Much closer game against lostgeeks Built to Last. getting only 3 points for diving three times. I steal one agenda randomly on centrals and one on the first deepdive. Later i don't see anything on some random HQ accesses so I prepare for a double deepdive turn and wiff them both

Changes i propose after nats are:

+Daily Casts

-Stoneship Chart Room (grug sad)

-Takobi

-2xMiss Bones

+Imp

The daily Stoneship situation is pretty clear and takobi is overkill with Turbine. Imp can be tutored and recycled so i'd think its only slightly worse against assets but loads better in other matchups. With these changes its a 44 card 14 inf deck so the goodstuff choice is 3. Bahia Bands. Other cards the deck kina wants are Pinhole, Leg/Pass and a third wheel. Or for enjoyers of priso... ehm TEMPO there is Fermenter and Smartware Distributor.


Also many thanks to the organizers and judges of a great italian nats ReinaMorada, Berzelius and Jakuza (and anyone else involved). To everyone else for awesome games and post tournament time. And to cablecarnage for the grug writeup as grugging quickly became our main meme for the weekend

Remember: Funhouse not fun
