This is a really early shell for a shaper Faust deck. I was absolutely annihilated by a MaxX Faust deck last night and it inspired this.

I went with Exile because of the draw, but the identity is not essential. In general, there may be too much draw, but that is the point of the deck after all.

You can win by using huge bursts of cards to walk into remotes unexpectedly, or by locking down R&D. I think I might need some HQ pressure as well, but handling ICE with Parasite and Crescentus should keep R&D mostly open.

This deck is light on econ. That's fine for its operation, but I'm scared about traces. Film Critic can definitely find a home here.

Thoughts?

Would finding room for 1 e3 Feedback Implants and a couple of Tyson Observatory not help out a lot with Faust? Maybe -3 Daily Casts, -1 Parasite, -1 Same Old Thing, +1 e3 Feedback Implants, +1 Tyson Observatory, +3 Magnum Opus? I know you didn't need much econ for your breaker, but SMC, Quality Time, Levi, Earthrise Hotel are all very expensive. With the e3 Feedback Implants in the deck you could even go down to 2 Levi and fit something else in?

@Phoenix: That's definitely a good idea... I'm really only using Self-modifying Code to bring out a Crescentus or Parasite mid-run, which might prove unnecessary. Code Siphon would probably be a better tutor for Faust, and free up some influence instead of running 3. I'd really like to keep all 3 Parasites if possible.

Honestly the deck slots here are really loose. The e3 Feedback Implants + Magnum Opus combo might add a lot of consistency, but still allow the deck to function without just fine. It's worth a try for sure.
