The Faust Meister

Dothanite 376

I wanted to see what Faust would look like in a big hand deck, and here it is.

Remember that doubles/Oracle May deck that was around for a while? The event-based economy is what inspired me to build this. Yeah, it's not only events anymore, but without May that doesn't really matter.

The steps are simple:

  1. run through your deck, getting as much econ as you could imagine
  2. play down your pieces when you get them.
  3. Game Day and Levywhen you have Faust out
  4. Run. Just Run.

It surprisingly makes some good money. The obvious part is that relying solely on Faust can hurt a lot, with Turing and Swordsman being things. It also takes time to build, and I wish I could get around that part. But hey, you can run through your deck very, very quickly.

Why Chaos Theory? Honestly, I couldn't think of any other shaper that would work better. I'm not really making use of the extra MU, but the smaller hand size does help.

I would have thought Exile: Streethawk would be good you can throw all your programs in the bin then to get access and bring them back just a thought if your really wanting to go Shaper.

Since there are only two programs and no test runs, I don't think Exile would be best. If anything Hayley Kaplan could work because of double installing the eight resources. Getting five more cards could help, too, as I could add test runs and the like in. Maybe Hyperconductor?

@Dothanite I didn't mean Exile: Streethawk for this exact deck list i meant as a general ID using Faust exile maybe better since you can use the trash ability to put programs in your heap where you want them
