Version paradox - 69th (nice) @ Worlds 2023

This is the deck @ALFlexand I played at Worlds this year. I personally finished with a score of 2-6, reaching 69th (nice) place.

You can read more about the story behind this deck and our corp here.

Building a Hoshiko deck in the current meta feels both easy and hard: easy because the shell of the deck is tried and tested, very effective and balanced, hard because all the other choices left are equally viable depending on the meta and picking the right cards can be a stressful process filled with indecision.
Fun fact: I left for Barcelona with at least 100 cards that were all meant as possible replacements for something in this list, as I did not want to leave a possible good option behind.

All in all I think the deck is pretty good, despite me failing to predict the meta correctly; most of the losses felt like they came down to a few key wrong decisions, so I'll take this as a lesson, to be more decisive and practice more with my final list next time.

A huge thank you to:

  • My teammate for trusting me to build a good deck to play.
  • All the organisers, judges, volunteers.
  • The italian comunity. Y'all are always a blast to be with! See you at Nats.
  • Everyone I had the pleasure to play and chat with. I'm usually quite shy, but big events like this always help me fight it.
