Techshiko (1st @ July AMT, 2nd @ Liverpool CO)

More Medium Hoshiko. Going into the AMT, I was convinced that this was clearly the best deck in the meta, but had trouble with asset corps and was sure everyone would be on it by now. That ended up being wrong, only I and Kyra from my testing group brought Ob to the tournament, but things turned out right anyway.

This won me the AMT, going 3-1 overall. @Cobalt from QtM also brought it to the Liverpool CO on the same day, going 4-1 and reaching 2nd place. :transfrog:

We have infinite influence, and we already beat any Corp that does normal things! So let's do some weird choices when deckbuilding:

• Misdirection just laughs really hard at a couple decks.
• Miss Bones ensures that Paladin Poemu is the worst it can possibly be, with 5 connections in the deck, and still look bannable. NSG please ban the fucking otter.
• Gachapon is really weird. We often win games based on us finding our drip econ and draw early, so it feels unskippable to me -- but making sure it has good odds with 54 cards in the deck is tough and it already feels significantly worse here than in a smaller build. It also means we can't add other cards we would like, like 3x extra Dirty Laundry, which in turn means we can't add a Mystic Maemi. In short, it's a mess, and a really complicated card to build for, but I think it's ultimately worth it.
• The right numbers on Hippo and Maw are just impossible to find. I have no idea what I'm doing here.

This was a very fun tournament, I really had to give it my all to come out on top but it was very satisfying to see my practice paying off. Thanks especially to cableCarnage, KyraWNY, Jinsei and carbonara_revolt for being worthy sparring partners in the past weeks. And thanks to NSG for holding these monthly tournaments, they're being wonderful.
