Séance MaxX: Faust, Wyldcakes, Medium, Legwork

poorhaus 412

This is my attempt at getting the most out of faust. He can get into R&D improbably often and can pressure almost any server as needed while doing it. The theory of the deck is to inevitably get a crap ton of quality accesses to win the game. 1-2 mediums and 3 cards of clickless draw to power Faust and you're seeing 5-6 cards off R&D. If you're not scoring the way you should be, legwork into HQ for a card or two and find all the agendas left in there as they've been frantically installing ice on R&D.

Weaknesses:

  • Chronos
  • Turing (that's what Zule is for)
  • Wraparound (that's what Corroder is for)
  • Swordsman (that's what femme- oh did I mention this deck is still in testing?)
  • Cyberdex
  • Damage decks, Jinteki especially. Against Butcher or Weyland you can go for the quick win but tossing your cards and then accessing a ton is not a recipe for success against the red guys.

All in all, it's very fun. Faust changes the math on runs and you'll find you can get in anywhere way earlier.

I may include a Femme somehow. Maybe taking out a career fair? I wish I could ignore Turing and drop the Zule.

Comments welcome. Go forth and test!

Well technically you can ignore Turing, just run first click. It actually might be a close alternative over spending 5 credits to break it with Zu ( 3 clicks can't be worth much worth that 5 credits). That would free up 2 influence. I also think some datasuckers would work, you have plenty of memory with Grimoire out so could run 3 mediums + 2 datasuckers + faust if wanted. The sucker tokens would save cards with faust (especially on odd strength ice).
