Recoco's Basilisk - 2nd at Euros

I almost had no Idea how to call this deck but @Watzlav told me to call this deck Recoco's Basilisk for meme Value.

This list is an combo CI deck that I brought to euros and ended 2nd with. There are some combo CI decks floating around for instance I really like the deck from knails. Since Estelle Moon came out I really liked to play this card. Moonies became one of my favourite decks. For euros testing I ditched Moonies as deck of choice because I couldn't find the right list. I switched to Titan and played it a lot. It was a very good deck but I never really liked it to play. The day before our flight @Watzlav came again and told me about a deck he played against in Jinteki. There might be a CI with Estelle Moon and Reconstruction Contract and Dedication Ceremony. I was excited and started building a deck. This is a nice mix of my favourite archetype with my favourite combo out of Titan.

A longer chat with Watzlav and some changes here and there brought me almost to this list. The night before Euros brought I made some last cuts (including cutting Elective Upgade for Ikawah Project) and switching the third scarcity to a 2nd Archived Memories.

So this is a "combo deck". I can score 7 points in one turn, but I rather prefer to firstly score two points (either Vitruvius with some counters or EC) and score the rest of the points a couple of turns later, when you draw more cards and got some more or other combo pieces. It has some of the flexibilities of a moonies deck, you can do crazy turns without scoring points. Shipment from MirrorMorph helps to load the Moon more quickly and Team Sponsorship is just a crazy good card in this deck.

This deck is not perfect and sometimes feel fragile, but I really like the Idea and I believe that you can tweak the deck to make it more "consistant".

I am very pleased with my result and I am really looking forward for Euros 2019.

Thank you for Watzlav, who gets half of the credits for this, because he was discussing this deck, cheering for me and he brought me the Idea for this deck. He also brought me enought confidence to play this at Euros, even without playing this deck to much before.

Thanks to everyone I played. Thanks to the Berlin crew for the support. Thanks to the judges and streamers/commentators/podcasters. You made this event to a brilliant one and I hope I will see you soon (sooner or later).
