Yeah! So sick. How has this build been working for you? My current build is almost identical except I don't have Overminds and still have Crescentus. Why did you cut Crescentus? I've been thinking it's weak for a while now too, but I'd like to hear your reason. I'm a little afraid of giving up Autoscripter triggers.

What do you think about the Apocalypse builds going around? I've been playing them a lot but can't make up my mind.

This is a pretty interesting take on Geist! Only thing I'm confused about is the lack of account siphon. Geist can take a while to set up and Account Siphon helps bide time for that. Plus it gives you a great SOT target. I'd think it would be more useful than Autoscripter in most games.

@Nobo715 I never actually had Crescentus in my version. My thought process was, it only becomes really relevant a small portion of the time. In low ICE count decks, or decks with smaller ICE it doesn't really do anything, and against HB glacier and RP it only becomes worth 5-8 creds the majority of the time. I found the Overmind fills the gap by crediting scoring windows when you otherwise wouldnt have the appropriate breakers. Maybe they think they can score when you are down to 2 cards in grip and used most of your B&E breakers last turn trying to get in. It catches a lot of people, even good players, off guard a lot of the time.

Apocolypse is super fun, but I think that it is probably just better in a different deck with more consistent breakers. A denial based Geist deck with eater and Papalips would be pretty fantastic I think.

@skydivingninja account siphon doesn't really fit with the play style of this deck. Autoscripter is a very very good card in this deck. You usually install a program each turn anyway. This way you just get paid a click for it as well.
