Please solve the riddle in 5 [1th @ Cologne District, 5:0]

After much deliberation about what I actually wanted to play at the Cologne District, i gravitated away from PD cause i expected to many Crims/DD Decks to feel really comfortable and leaned towards Azmari.

I had experimented with Rush Azmari the week before but hadn't found a really good list that I like(w/o BCP but with Retribution seems promising tho. On paper, the matchup spread of Neuro Azmari fitted the expected runners quite well and i got alot reps on it, so one last dance in the degree mill seemed the way to go. But Punitive in a meta where I expected Aniccam Hosh (Looking at OF15-15 oO) seemed a bit too dicey. So I looked for a few Forkless variants (3 RLC Djubstad, 2 Seamless/2 Gatekeeper Neurospike) and a variant my friends laughed at: 2 Public Trail, 2 [End of the Line](/en/card/33125, 2 Amaze Neuro-Azmari. But in testing the list overperformed and my gud said this cant be bad. The list is certainly not optimal, but it poses questions that are not easy to answer for many lists. Ping/Unsmilling + Amaze makes it hard to contest the remote and clear the tags and keep enough hand cards/credits to dodge Public Trail. Also in Open Decklist I was optimistic enough, not many decks are fast enough to contest Reeducation and find the kill protection.

The deck went 3 : 0 in Swiss and 2 : 0 in Topcut, with wins against Esa, Quetzal, Sable and 2 times Hosh!

OF15-15 played the same list -1 Spin + 1 Predictive Planogram and with a wrap for the 3rd ping (3 - 0) in Swiss, (0 -1 in Topcut)! Thank you for your continued confidence with my lists! <3

My Runner was a Variant on our beloved Crew/Aniccam Hosh!

Thank you Tradon for organizing the Event, always a plessure!

And come to EMEA Cologne and play the soonish released pre-events! 😊 Even it isnt my hometown anymore, i always feel welcome if i come back and would love to share that feeling with y’all!
