Hey all, here's an updated version of a runner deck I'm trying to improve. I'd love thoughts on it.

Basic idea is to run early, often, and make money doing so, put pressure on the corp, etc. Run from turn one, with set-up happening as it comes, with first priority being the Public Terminals and hopefully the Desperado (I have 1x Core Set right now. That's why there's only one of them) with the Programs coming through luck of the draw or special-ordering the most necessary ones as they arrive. (This can be a tricky thing to learn - I special ordered Faust against a fast-advance Palana deck tonight no considering that their agendas would never last long enough in a remote for me to take them anyway, so another central breaker would have done much more for me.)

I'm trying to curate my run events well - this version kicks out Bribery in favor of Injection attack, for instance - but I'd really love any comments or thoughts.

Thanks!

With Faust in here, it'd be awesome to slot in Exclusive Party.

To add to my comment above. I feel that Drug Dealer would be a good addition instead of Symmetrical Visage. Symmetrical Visage is awesome, but it costs a click to use. If you are trying to go fast, then Drug Dealer provides automatic draw power, without slowing you down. With this deck, and cards like Security Testing and Desperado, you should have enough credits for it. Combined with Exclusive Party (though fitting in all 6 might be tough, and you only want it if you have all 6), it should give you enough cards for Faust (Out of the Ashes is great fodder too). Exclusive Party is great since Faust will send them to your heap, and then you could play the 4th, 5th and 6th ones, and make some major cash and provide you with more cards too. I guess it is very hard to fit in both Out of the Ashes and Exclusive Party though....

I would drop Three Steps Ahead personally, unless you support it a wee bit more. I think it does combo well with Out of the Ashes and it will get you 8 credits (if you run every click). It would be even better if you had Doppelgänger in here so you could make 10 credits. Though objectively Desperado is a better card, you only have one, so you could slot in 2 Doppelgänger, keep Three Steps Ahead (I think I'd go down to 2 though), and free up one influence (perhaps another The Turning Wheel). Have you thought about Jak Sinclair, for even more free runs (12 credits!)?

Also either Sports Hopper or Plascrete Carapace might be a good addition for damage protection. Sports Hopper's link could be handy with Jak Sinclair.

And finally, with using Faust and having such an event heavy deck, do you find you run out of cards? Would a Levy AR Lab Access be useful here?
