Resource Denial Geist, focusing on the amazing draw power things like Fall guy and Street Peddler.

A couple questions to maybe consider:

  1. Why Forger over Desperado? You're not running cloud breakers or underworld contacts so the link doesn't seem to matter.
  2. For that matter, why no underworld contacts?
  3. What are the clone chips for? Deja Vu seems better for 2 inf since it can recur all of those homies. I would consider -2 clone chips, +1 Deja Vu, +1 Street Peddler, +1 Scrubber (or Utopia Shard or something)

Also, The Source is pretty good in decks like these.

Soooo I had just written out a paragraph answer to each comment, and then my browser crashed so this will end up being a lot shorter:

  1. Honestly Forger may be wrong with fall guy/decoy/comp employee trace credit.

  2. Personal preference mostly. I really prefer Compromised Employee. It can make more than 1 credit a turn, helps beat traces (this is meta-dependant for how valuable it is), also doesn't need another card (which is relevant if forger comes out). Why run a two card 'combo' when you can run a 1 card 'combo' that still gets the job done is the basic premise.

  3. They're a stay-over from the Iain deck this rapidly morphed out of in an attempt to make a more tournament friendly connections deck. I do really like your change, although I think I may want to go with a more traditional breaker suite and save 1 influence for either a scrubber or street peddler (probably scrubber based off of what I expect to see).

The Source may need to be considered to help deal with FA, thanks for the suggestion!
