SHTR’s (still) Full! (4-0 at Americas CBI)

A very close approximation of my PE from Canadian Nationals this year (and the deck I nearly played at Worlds, but panicked off day before after a middling COS performance with it), I wanted to give this pet deck one last major tournament run before rotation, and it sung like a banshee.

Aruzan said a really lovely thing about me on his post-Worlds win Slumscast spot, that he considers me one of the best PE players in the world (which gave me a crisis of identity), so I set out to prove this unlikely thesis at CBI. Thanks for helping me realize who I really am, Alex!

All four wins were by flatline, erasing the maps of two Esas, Lat, and a Hoshiko.

Killscreens:

Esa (turn 5) - Fuji score off La Costa into Neurospike flatline.

Lat (turn 9) - Anemone rez (putting them down to zero cards) into False Lead sack, then pre-installed Blood in the Water kill on my turn.

Esa (turn 7) - Seamless SHTR score, into End of the Line kill.

Hoshiko (turn 5) - SHTR score off La Costa, hitting Steelskin, Neurospike for 2 damage, End of the Line flatline.

While I'm very happy with the deck's performance, I went 0-4 with Lat on the day, with a very embarrassing turn 1 loss to an AgInfusion in which I just forgot its ability text, getting booped into a Saisentan I'd face-checked on click 1. Three Deep Dives in the deck, and I didn't get a single one off all day.

Happy killing!
