I really like the Deus X! It gives you a large bonus agaist AP ICE. I would add two Fearies against ugly stuff like Archer or Susan. Also play a corroder. At the moment you don't have answers against high barriers. You can't win against Weyland like this.

I would argue that you deck struggles a bit with it's econ. It take quite a long time for your resoures to be put up. And even worse NBN is completely negating it. Play Desperado in combo with Dirty Laundry and Security Testing (not dramatic if the corp spends 2c to trash it when you play it for free). Cut the Autoscripter. Tech Writer may work but cut the Underworld Contacts and the Data folding. Try out 2-3 Bank Jobs. This is an amaying card right now! The Fall Guy is only stealing your deck space. Better you play standard Daily Casts.

By the way, what's about Account Siphon??? There are Crim IDs which don't need it, but for Geist it's the core of his econ. Also adding one Emergency Shutdown would give you a useful tool against certain kinds of decks, especially when you have three Same Old Thing.

  1. No Account Siphon!!! On principle and because I do not wish to have to deal with tag removal.
  2. Grappling Hook vs Archer
  3. Money is not the issue with this Deck, If you look at the cost structure, there are plenty of cards costing 0 or 1 credits to install or play. Only Sure Gamble and Levy AR Lab Access need 5 creds. Economy is slow, but picking up pace fairly quickly, especially since adding Technical Writer. Maybe Gorman Drip v1 would be an addition, but honestly, deck space is tight as it is.
  4. Autoscripter was added to install more Cloud Breakers and works even when installing a program with Clone Chip during a run on last click. Whoops, another click left.
  5. Desperado does not benefit Armand "Geist" Walker: Tech Lord as it doesn't support his ability and Geist needs one more link. Forger is exactly right for Geist.
  6. I had Emergency Shutdown in a previous incarnation of this deck, I decided to cut it, as I wasn't using it ... ever.
  7. Fall Guy is an essential tool in my arsenal. Its a Blue Level Clearance that I can use during the Corps turn.
  8. Geist does not need to run as often. Geist is not Ken or Gabe. The old crim style of face checking does to apply to Geist. Geist runs intelligently and hardly ever needs to jack out.
  9. Bottlenecks in this deck are speed and multi-access. It plays a little bit like shaper and some turns are like Noise's solitaire game until Geist is ready to run. Right now, only Legwork allows multi-access.
