Ghostworld

quidquid 1

Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to netrunner but I've been running this at my local store with some success recently. Sorry if this isn't the most flavorful description but I promise it will be practical!

So the basic objective is to find Faust and start running. Armand "Geist" Walker: Tech Lord has so much draw potential that Faust seems like a natural choice. Your Special Order and general digging ability should allow you to find the singleton skull fast.

Once he's out, most of your Faust-fuel comes from Off-Campus Apartment. This card feels amazing. Almost as good as Drug Dealer. However, often times you won't even need to break. Your goal is to keep the corp as poor as possible vis a vis Account Siphon, Crescentus, Muertos Gang Member, and Running Interference. The corp is going to have trouble rezzing their ice let alone stopping your deals with the devil.

Ice like Turing and Swordsman can be problematic but that's what Grappling Hook + e3 Feedback Implants is for. For Turing, Crescentus and Muertos Gang Member should be able to help.

The deck has a really nice match-up against any sort of NBN butchershop build (which is popular in my meta). The Drug Dealer card draw and Crash Space give you a lot of outs to Scorched Earth. Furthermore, you dodge and remove tags easily with Forger and Crash Space.

You can put a lot of pressure on the corp and as long as you make sure Account Siphon feels like the Same Old Thing you should do fine.

Tri-maf Contact is something I haven't tested yet but want to. It seems like a really safe economic choice and I had Kati Jones in the slot before it. Kati Jones just felt a little too slow for the deck and you never really need that much cash (nor want it with the Drug Dealer tax).

I think this deck is loads of fun and I hope you can love running with the ghost too.

I like the idea, but you have nothing to deal with Wraparound, Turing, or Swordsman.

Does Armand's ability trigger off Faust?

@ironvulture No, that would be crazy though.
