My take on the Headlock archetype. DDoS makes it so much better. Faust is great, but sometimes you need those other fixed breakers for one reason or another.

No Account Siphon or Vamp. AS is too much influence and it is so slow to get enough $ to Vamp.

MU is tight, so manage program installs carefully. Feedback is welcome!

-2 faust, +2 eater

you don't have enough draw power to abuse faust, and eater was basically made for keyholes/crecentus/datasucker shenanigans

-2 desperado, +2 vigil

lack of cash for the corp means a full hand, means free draws for you. Also frees up 6 influence.

I would also recommend tossing the injects, as it makes you leans really heavily on the clone chips and deja vu. soething like -3 inject, +2 symmetrical visage, +1 liberated accounts or day job

@pandaman64This isn't a "Faust deck" per se. There is no need to abuse it. In fact, most games it goes uninstalled and other answers are used (Parasite, D4v1d, fixed breakers. It mostly answers Lotus Field or allows access in other ways when neaded.

Draw is definitely a weak point. I was using Vigil in a previous version, but there were many cases it didn't fire and I struggled with econ. I also tried Turntable, but this isn't the right deck for that. I think Desperado is the correct call here.

Inject just works too well here. I get the cards I need rather quickly. The "drawback" of trashing programs becomes a boon with Clone Chip where I can play a Crescentus, Parasite or any other needed answer at instant speed.

Symmetrical Visage, Liberated Account, and Day Job are just too slow for this deck. And, keeping the Desperado greatly helps with econ.
