Avon Calling!

Scoogsy 85

Gabe has been here right from the beginning. Everyone knows him, and well, everyone loves him. But let's be honest, in this new MWL 2.0 era, Crims are frankly doing it tough.

Aha! Gabes had an idea though. It's time to move out, and go abroad. Some where to relax; where people don't know who he is. Let's go to Hawaii and sell cosmetics. Yeah that will work.

Surprisingly, it turns out the plan is hit and miss really.

The idea of course with any Avon lady is to go knocking on that front door, and knock a lot. Being in Maui, that makes life easier, and Pheremones of course help to get through people's natural defences

But boy, corps certainly do love slamming that door closed fast and early; so you have to be sneaky and try the often less defended back door.

If someone leaves the front gate open for long, this deck can snowball and make some decent coin. Of course TapWrms start piling up cash too, if corps decide to purge your pheremone credits, which is perfectly fine.

Inversificator means the front door can be cleared of troublesome obstacles, which is surpringly good at times.

However without the Temujins and other crazy money cards, the whole scheme can come grinding to a slow halt as you try to find weak servers and use your run events, or alternatively just click for credits. This can be a problem in your more gated communities that pile up ice; or decks which go with an economic drain like Spark. Funilly enough, net damage doesn't seem to do too much, as you can get in and steal the agendas, it just costs you cards.

Economy seems to be an issue from time to time in the deck, depending on the matchup. I haven't given it enough play to really see how it could function better, but any suggestions are welcome.

I'm not the best deck builder by a long shot, but I felt fairly constrained in terms of good economic options out of crim at the moment. Certainly makes for scrappy, entertaining games though, instead of economic bulldozers of the past.

About the only thing I see this beast needing, is a Film Critic (or Employee Strike, depending on meta). That means you'd have to sub out Inversificator for Gordian Blade, sadly. I just think a Critic is too good to ignore, especially against the Jinteki matchup, and to a lesser degree, Weyland. Just my 2 cents; really love the build overall though! :)

@esutter479thats actually not a bad idea. I'll try testing that out as well. Thanks for the feedback.
