Geist + Spy Cams = Just Another Great Horror Flick

This deck is coherent, fast, and interactive. My only regret is that it needs lousy Sure Gambles. Every other card fits real good.

The engine needs one or two Tech Traders as soon as possible. Mull if you don't have a it or a Hostage in your opening draw. With the engine up, you should only occasionally need to click to draw or click for credits for the rest of the game since most of the other cards can trigger it while also providing tactical advantages:

Crim Cloud Breakers for, y'know, breaking ICE. Spy Cams let you selectively pressure R&D. With no multi-access on R&D it's important not to make unnecessary runs. Forger is the mid game link you'll need until you find Access to Globalsec. Then it gives tag defense and at least minimizes the cost of Account Siphon. Clone Chips let you recur the Crim cloud breakers keeping them available after use and maintaining their collective strength. Plus it can instantly recur Clot. PoliOp cause...eat it, Sandburg. Fall Guy can be a crazy fuel boost for the engine, but it can also be used to protect Guru Davinder against Corp damage decks. Same Old Thing to recur Levy.

There are only four expensive cards in the deck, which helps it play fast. They are: Vamadeva takes care of cheap single sub ICE so you don't have to waste your cloud breakers. HQ Interface let's you pressure HQ, and Sneakdoor Beta maintains HQ pressure to close out the game. Levy AR Lab Access is the late game reset if you need it. If you don't like Levy, swap it for a Déjà Vu, which gives enough recursion to last out most games and is better for maintaining mid-game pressure.

Guru Davinder is the include that really elevates this deck. It makes Corp killing really hard. And with Fall Guys to protect him against a tag trashing and to keep him out after use, the Guru is even useful in slowing down thousandcut/potato Corp decks. Against those decks, use a Hostage to bring out the Guru or even a Fall Guy...but only after you get a Tech Trader installed.
