Pineapple jank and gray cheese 3-2 at Crown of Server 2024

Diogene 4245

The biggest shoutout to Scantrell, who piloted this deck at CoS 2024 without having ever played it! What a feat!

The deck was initially planned for a Montreal metamate, who had an unfortunate event that made it impossible to go to California (he's fine now). Scantrell very graciously accepted the invitation to replace him, pretty much just before World 2024 began. It is an understatement to say that piloting a deck that aim for jank, without preparation, without practice and without having any input in the making of the deck, is going to be difficult. Scantrell still managed to get 3 wins with it!

The deck aim to fast advance as much as possible and present a possible threat with Urtica Cipher and City Works Project. Both of which could be boosted out of nowhere with Oberth Protocol.

The team went to the tournament to play janky decks. Our theme was to use one snare in each corp deck and to use soon to be rotated runner identity along with Build Script. Since I could not come to World 2024 due to life events, I helped by testing the decks and providing feedback, which helped tune the decks for each team member.

The team was named Pineapple, jank and cheese, because of the pineapple on pizzas is a canadian theme that fit with California. The team members were :

  • Odonuvo
  • SirLoathing
  • Scantrell

Here are the teams were faced :

  • Hot Dog Time Machine (12-6)
  • Worst Esâ Cosplay Ever (3-15)
  • We Do Not Listen to Slumscast (6-12)
  • Muntal Blast (9-9)
  • Send The Run (12-6)

I personnaly think there should be prize in the CoS event for jank and originality. To encourage the tradition of playing themed decks at CoS.

Thanks to all participants and special thanks for the amazing organization done by Null Signal Game for the whole event.

Cheers!
