Surfing with the flu - IKoS2018 winning team

This is the deck I piloted at the 2nd Italian King of Serves for the winning team "Turin City Grid". It is named "Surfing with the flu" because i had the flu during the day of the tournament. It went 1-4. :(

Why this deck? Because I love jank and I've wanted to bring a deck built around Surfer to a tournament since its relase. I tought that this KoS might have been a good opportunity because Jinja is still a thing, it potentially blanks ACME (it's not the outermost ICE anymore if you surf with it) and the chances of playing against MTI in a KoS are low.

The plan is simple: mull for Ubax and get the mopus down on turn 1 by any means. Then, you start clicking and installing every turn. Your basic rig is Ubax, Magnum Opus and Laamb, sometimes you can hold playing Surfer if your opponent doesn't create a server with multiple ICEs. Dhegdheer helps you install Cerberus "Lady" H1, Equivocation and Misdirection and it's of great importance against MTI (Surfer doesn't cover the MTI installed ICE and you can use Laamb to give barrier to an ICE only once per turn).

Small report: Turn 1: vs CtM (0-1) His CtM was an interesting deck with Lady Liberty, Zealous Judge and some other stuff. I made some mistakes here, giving him a window to land an HHN and to Judge me to death.

Turn 2: vs Argus (1-1) He doesn't play many ICEs and leaves R&D open, so i manage to steal 6 points while shredding his R&D with Equivocation. Meanwhile, he scores two City Projects in a big server of death. With both of us at 6 points, it's a race to see who will be the first one to see an agenda. After four violent turns of Rashidas, knifes, Makers's Eyes and deadly traps, I finally steal the winning agenda.

Turn 3: vs Argus (1-2) Again, I set up the R&D shredding, but he bluffs an Atlas with two counters (I was 100% sure it was an NGO, lol), which he uses to kill me in the following rounds.

Turn 4: vs CtM (1-3) The MOPUS allowed me to easily trash the key assets and clear the tags, while also setting the things up. He rushed a Beale while I was still setting up and a 23 Minutes, while I gave him one Quantum Predictive Model because of a Data Raven tag. Meanwhile, I dig 4 times R&D finding nothing but one AR Security. The fifth dig gave me only a Beale and a Food, which he Sea Source/exchanged for the win.

Turn 5: vs MTI (1-4) My nightmare matchup. The only thing you can do againts it is to attack early if you see an unprotected server (you only need the fracter down) and set up as fast as you can the double Laamb. He was faster.

Surfing through the servers is as fun as you can think it would be, but not as good as you would like it to be. Also, I made some mistakes that didn't helped.

Thanks to everyone who played and organized this event (Darta in primis) and, of course, to Koga, edobram and Icon, my teammates who helped me make a Surfer deck a KoS winner.
