It's A Kinda Magic

I throw my hat into the Baba Yaga ring. The decks been doing quite well so far it still needs more tweaking and testing but games it's been losing have been close so i think theirs something here.

So why Armand "Geist" Walker: Tech Lord for my Baba deck? Well it seems to me that criminal has most of the best stuff for abusing Baba Yaga with the breakers like Mongoose & central suite and Faerie it strikes me that most of the benefit to Baba is circumventing the downsides of breakers. On top of that I need to be able to avoid losing my whole rig or be able to recover from losing it... both preferably.

Well Geist normally runs Levy AR Lab Access anyway so thats some recovery and the B&E rig means i can hobble along without Baba Yaga & continue to put on pressure it also allows me to patch work bits of my rig i don't have helping speed me up and covers weakness's like Turing and lastly it means Baba actually helps without anything hosted on it, all be it only by the +1 str but that's better than anything else. All this made Geist my choice of runner for Baba Yaga.

Sacrificial Construct Helps protect the Baba Yaga rig from been blown away and spares can be burnt to Faerie for some extra credits and draw.

On the Lam can be used for protection from NBN & Jinteki it can also be abused with Account Siphon.

Deuces Wild one of my favourite little draw cards that can be used to make runs and remove tags for extra econ instead.

PS: I wanted to add Top Hat for theame but couldn't justify it without the Spy Camera's

It seems like Geist already has a lot of cards that can be used to do what Deuces Wild does, just without the influence. I would play Raymond Flint over it if I really wanted the expose ability.

@dawspawn It's true their are other cards Influence free but their aren't any as flexible. Deuces Wild can be a run expose and econ/ a slightly worse Diesel or draw and remove of tag their are many things it dose other than just expose. That said I have been thinking about changing it for Street Peddler for more speed but that will also come with risk.
