This deck went undefeated at a low key, end of year tournament hosted by Green Lake Games.

Nothing terribly surprising about this Criminal aggression deck. Punish HQ until the corp puts something meaty in front of it, then punish that with Shutdown and Forged.

Fisk Investment Seminar is great at putting pressure on a drained corp and feeding your Faust. With Levy, you can force 18 additional corp draws over a game.

I like Brain Cage here for storing all the Drug Dealer draws. Brain Cage + 1x Drug Dealer is pretty solid double Scorch protection.

Keep your tags once you've started the Siphon pain. If the corp really wants to spend 2c on a Drug Dealer, that's ok for you.

Easy Mark over Sure Gamble for those instances where Dealer drains you to zero. Depends on the match-up whether both players are nearly broke the whole game or Gabe skyrockets to 20+ credits.

Is this really enough breakers without Special Order? You have draw from drug dealer and fisk, but if faust is in the last 10 cards of your deck, you can easily get locked out for a long time. I would swap the RDI for a second faust.

Also, never been huge on FAO. You can force them to rez just by running, assuming you have breakers to prevent the worst. I would potentially swap these for sp. order.

@mmc31 So far, yes it has been enough. In a pinch, SOT can be used to make more Special Orders, but with all the draw happening it hasn't been an issue. I think FAO vs Special Order is definitely preferential and meta-dependent. I get more value out of FAO targeting 4+ cost ICE as a mini siphon or parasite.

The deck had its first major stumble against an HQ locked up early with Architect and Crisium Grid. I wanted to get 5c, let the Architect fire, trash, then immediately Siphon while using Faerie/Faust but I had trouble getting all the pieces together before the Nisei MKII's started stacking up.

@TheRyanBurke That game was a very bad matchup for you, I wouldn't sweat it in the competative scene, Tenin isn't really popular right now (although it is the best ID for leveraging Crisium) and you still had me thinking I was going to lose that game. Very interesting take on Gabe Faust.
