This is my questionable MuslihaT pile. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I feel like I've reached a bit of a dead end with this list. Maybe I'll try again later in the format. @ Fast Talkers of the future: I hope my findings can be of some use to you on your quest to build Ghosttongue MuslihaT.

Very Serious Research Notes

This started out with 3x Ghosttongue because Ghosttongue is cool! Getting the deck down to 33% bricks is easy, but the whiff streaks can get dire. Also, most of the bricks end up being uniques, and your ~1 card per turn isn't nearly as good when your redundant TCAs, Consoles, and Wincons end up rotting in hand. So this is my attempt to get down to 20% bricks.

Bricks

• 2x Hermes: I was on Detente for all of five seconds before realizing I was DOA without this disruption. (It costs 2c to install?? Wtf.)

• 1x WAKE Implant: this is all we get. HQ and R&D pressure in a single slot for 0 inf? TBH we're lucky to have it.

• 1x Ashen Epilogue: This feels necessary to avoid running out of gas. But, I don't bother saving it for the end. If I can get to the point where I'm paying 3c for a "draw 3" then I'll go ahead and use it. If we play it after installing 3 cards then it nearly doubles Musliha's hit rate.

• 1x Ghosttongue: if i cut this then I'm giving up on the deck. It's brutal to draw late, but I actually do think it does work.

• 2x Mystic Maemi: maybe the best thing about Ghosttongue is that you can have it alongside Mystic. some of the most important events in the deck are 2 or 3 credits, so you do actually get value for having both.

• 2x Cezve: Backbone of the deck's economy. I'd love to have a third, but you can't install it if you don't have your console, if WooP were more integral to the deck then maybe I could try -1 Mystic +1 Cezve.

"What do you do when you whiff?"

I usually click to draw, but there are a few other ways in here to vacate the top of your deck.

• 1x Ashen Epilogue: not a super efficient method but it does shuffle!

• 3x Bahia Bands: Most of the bricks are installable too! Just make sure not to waste this digging for cards when you're going to need it for trashing stuff.

• 3x Concerto: This (and Overclock) are really important for contesting the remote. I assume there's a line where MuslihaT shows you Matryoshka and you decline to reveal so you can get the 3c from Concerto, but I've yet to fine the boardstate where its relevant.

• 0x Jailbreak: I had three of these for a while, but most of the times I was using them to vacate the top of the stack I found they weren't that much better than clicking to draw.

Exclusions

• TooF: Without support like Maglectric or Boomerang its just too low impact. Especially since your surprise factor is minimized.

• Jailbreak: see above. (every time I play this card I regret not playing Zahya instead.

• Cupellation: this was in here for awhile! But slots are too hard. Can we please have Legwork again?

• Direct Access: I'm serious! With Musliha+GT you can draw and play it "for free" and the shuffle means it vacates the top of of the stack. In a couple games against Poétrï I used it to deny the installs on my Wake digs.

• Lie Low: I've seen Zero Oppos since I cut this card, so I highly recommend yall do the same. I miss it a lot less than...

• The Class Act: Andy was so so close. Redundant copies still do something, the 4 is decent with Concerto, and she makes it a lot less painful to vacate the top of the stack by clicking to draw. If I end up returning to GT MuslihaT later in the format I'll probably start by cutting Ashen and [/sigh] Ghosttongue for a couple of TCAs and see where that takes me.

Good luck out there, Marketeers! 👻👅
