This deck was on the verge of not going to the Regionals in Zürich, Switzerland because it only lost its last few test rounds online on jinteki.net. The inspiration of this deck was through TheBigBoy
's pretty cool runthenet article: On Drugs and Devils: A New Breed of Aggressive Criminal.
A few cycles later there have been a lot of changes this deck was going through. I wanted to build a simple deck, with only good cards. And actually that took me further than expected! I went 4th at Regionals and this deck only lost to the champion in Top8 cut, undefeated in swiss and 5-1 overall! My corp deck Palana (deck list coming soon...) didn't fare so well unfortunately (3-3 overall)
Strategy: Pretty much Gabe self-explanatory. You go hard or home. Just run first click on HQ. Make them rez everything, find your breakers, make them poor with Account Siphon, earn a lot of money with HQ runs. The game should not last very long. Hammer HQ with Legwork if possible, after they close it use Sneakdoor and then go for RnD, prefarably with Maker's Eye. If the game last long you have to improvise sometimes because a lot of Closed Accouns are around at the moment and you will be really poor sometimes (you will not clear tags in all of your games). Make sure you have some recovery cards after a big hit like: Easy Mark and Quality Time as Faust food, or a single Fisk Investment Seminar also helps with that.
Some notable card explanations: Freedom It's a cool card. Somehow expensive but with all those GFI around it can win games. It won me a game against one opponent in Top8 cut while I was having 4 points and played it before a Maker's Eye found a two Pointer. Plascrete is just necessary as a 3-of because you go tagme. It helped during my games against Weyland and yellow factions. Desperado in starting hand is usually an insta-keep. Best console gives you around 15-30 credits a game. Works best with Dirty Laundry and Bank Job or just HQ runs.
Try this deck out, make pressure from turn 1, aggressively check each server and steal agendas, make money with your runs and close the game pretty soon. Criminals are still the best! And this one is a beauty!

Awesome writeup and congrats. I'm really happy you brought this deck. Even if it doesn't perform for a few games on Jinteki, you should bring the deck that you love and that fits you. Your strong performance yesterday is a perfect example. |

Cool deck and congrats! :D Do you miss the 3rd Desperado, or does this deck generate more than enough money? Also, how do you ensure Freedom lands? Only play it right before a Legwork/Maker's Eye and cross your fingers? |

I`ve played like 6 games with this and felt totally sad without desperado (money and especially the MU with Sneakdoor) So I would remove a Faust (cause there is no real program trashing in the meta) and add a Desperado. And then move around the other cards to completely use the influence. My suggestion would be a datasucker. Congrats ;) |

What are your thoughts on Drug Dealer vs Quality Time? Often They won't bother to trash them when you go tag me, and if you do Faust is really just an in between breaker anyway. As stated by Swatchblade Datasucker would be very happy in this list. Congrats on the win! |

The original Faust Gabe from TheBigBoy had HQ Intefaces instead of legwork. That would make the HQ Intefaces more interesting. On the other hand it doesnt work that well with Freedom Through Equality... |

I will test a modification of this deck, thats a bit similar to ur previous one. Can`t tell whether its better or not: - 1Faust, -1 Plascrete, -2 Legwork, -2 FTE, -1 Mongoose, +1 Desperado, +1 Datasucker, + 1 Special Order, + 2 HQInteface, +2 E3 Implants Without Legwork FTE isnt that good, Mongoose is mainly for Swordsman/Komainu so just for single ICE. With E3 Implants u dont need that much draw |

I'm really enjoying this deck, thank you for sharing! I have been playing a lot, and will most loses I credit to my inexperience in the game, I am genuinely struggling with Jinteki decks. They upset the rhythm I get from this deck terribly. Is there any guidance you could give when facing a Jinteki Corp with this deck? |

I played against this on jinteki trying out my new nisei division deck and was impressed by the speed it ran at and if it wasn't for a few fortunate psi games, would have probably ran away with the game. Nice to meet I really like this deck and am going to have to try it out! |
congratulation. very nice list.
