This is the NWE Geist, that basically the whole NWE team played at german Nats. Similar to Asa, i started building stuff right after we got the uprising spoilers. After a discussion with @jackmade, and NWE testing right before german nats, we finally arrived at this list.
Gameplan
Even though Geist is known to be slow durdle runner that sets up a lot and then locks the game with his egine, this list is very aggressive. The whole "engine" just consists of Masterwork, Q-Loop and Tech Trader. From there even hayley would blush at the amount of click compression and tricks that you can pull off out of nowhere. However this comes at a price: all these triggers will slowly drive you insane. It is also quite taxing in a tournament. Geist games also tend to be long, not by number of turns, but by time spent because you have so many triggers to resolve.
This list includes the good old geist tools to handle ICE with hooks and gbahali. Boomerang also allows you to run into ICE without too much fear. It is also a great surveyor solution and because it recurs itself, you can use them quite liberally. You also have the best set of breakers that a crim can play with bukhalter, corroder, amina. With these tools to handle ICE, you can then be aggressive, because running fuels your engine and running draws you into your missing pieces.
In order to actually win games, Geist has 3 strong pressure tools: this list can either try to build up and keep enough tools to lock the remote. Geist can also pressure HQ well with diversions and cheap runs. And the card draw is so good that you will eat all three diversions very quickly if you don't protect HQ properly. At last there is stargate. The old geist list had the problem, that they could not really force agenda steals. You had 6 spycams (12 with levy) and if those didn't hit agendas, you were in a bad spot with no good multiaccess. Stargate is a perfect fit, forcing the corp to ICE R&D well or you can control everything they draw. And with boomerang recursion and an efficient engine, it is very hard to stop stargate. So even though the corp can ICE enough to prevent one of these threats, it is very hard to manage all three of them. For some lategame fuel, you then have a copy of the back, that can shuffle back around 16 trash cans for that final push.
German Nats
Geist performed very well, only dropping one game during the tournament. I was killed because i had never played the matchup, but after having learned my lesson, I was able to beat earth station rush convincingly. The other matches I usually pressured the corp early until i could find stargate, and then locked the corp trashing all the ICE and stealing the agendas.
Shoutout to all the people that were at german nats and made it such an amazing events. And to all those that helped organise it and helped in other ways to make it so smooth.

You forgot the obligatory "stays." on spycam reveals. Other than that, superb player, superb deck. 5/7 will try again next time. :) Congratulations! |

Congratulations! I really love that Stargate. wont take Khusyuk any more. How did it work against the Scarcity of Resources?Like Palana&LaCostaGrid or Azmari. |

Amazing deck! A couple questions though: 1) What are the plans vs Navi Mumbai 2) What happens if someone trashes the back and/or traders, via Voter Intimidation for example? |

Im so surprised, there is no tag prevention. @pinsel: how do you deal with Argus (for example) ? |

"(...) and then locked the corp trashing all the ICE" - did you mean "breaking all the ICE"? |

Ah, right, Stargate. I somehow didn't make the connection, when reading. All clear, thanks. |
