Stacked Odds

Fall Guy 37

Just a fun little Laramy - still doesn't get any love despite a resurgence of criminals - Fisk deck that I have been playing around with.

Spy Cameras helping your odds of hitting agendas on the R & D runs. Drug dealer & Vigil helping keep Faust fed and giving some protection along with Davinder from kill decks.

FIS etc for those crucial Information Sifting runs. Siphon because....well it's siphon and it helps a bit in preventing them from using the cards you are feeding the corp regularly.

I've been surprised how effective it's been but only played in friendly games so any and all feedback welcome. Tempted by Bhagat and a hostage instead of the two Vigils but I think that would perhaps be better in a different style of Fisk deck.

I really, really don't reccomend Striker. Consider that Peacock is influenceless, still not good, and yet almost as efficient.

You're probably quite correct. I think I just have an aversion to criminal decoders. Given its only really Turing or stacked servers its in there for I might give it a go.

I'm also questioning the guru. Drug Dealer and Guru is anti-synergistic (and this deck is pretty low money anyway).

I get what you're saying with that but I haven't ever looked to pay the credits to keep him. Between him and basically having six cards in hand most of the time scorched earths have often been seen getting binned as the extra corp cards. Also, two and the employee strike has seen me nicely through Argus match ups. Kimd of prevention rather than cure. Definitely willing to keep an open mind on that point though.

Oh, and then with those two out you might even fit lamprey? :P

Definitely keen on that. Going to try a get outta my house deck style deck with that.

Soooo, you're paying influence for plascrete?

2 Jul 2016 Fall Guy

I am. Plascrete will cycle soon so just trying it out. I recognise if you were looking to optimise it in the moment plascrete may be a better fit. Although even then im liking only paying one to throw it down as you rightly say the deck operates on fairly low credit levels

Have you considered Sports Hopper as a Plascrete replacement? Far cheaper and far harder to trash, and gives you link which I always find is a useful thing to have, it's also not unique so spares don't clog up your hand, and most of all, it saves you 1 influence each.

Excellent shout thanks. Not sure why I overlooked that. Will put two in. Between that and just taking peacock as a decoder it leaves enough influence for a levy. The deck flirted with needing it in a longer game recently so probably better to have it than not. So going to try -1 striker, -1 sot, -2 guru, +2 hoppers, +1 peacock, +1 levy. Have a spare influence pip to think about. Thanks to you both for the suggestions.
