This is my first try at Geist doing Geist stuff. The performance is meh.

Any comments welcome! Maybe some tips?

I don't think 3 The Maker's Eye are the best choice to spend the Influence and althoug Gorman Drip v1 is a Card i don't think it's so good. How about 2 Scheherazade, 2 Medium and 2 more Dyson Mem Chip instead of the Eyes and the Drips?

Exchanging 3 Maker's for 2 Medium (both is 6 inf) might be worth a try, although this cuts down the synergy with PPVP. It would free up one card slot for the Dyson, which I need for the for Medium. (So far the Dyson is mainly a failsafe to keep up 2 even if I trash all my consoles.)

Gorman is really in a strange position in this deck... Either it works super well combined with Siphon to give me an even greater edge if the Siphon landed or it's out for 15 turns, netting 5 , which is the worst drip economy of all time. I think Scheherazade as a more consistent eco tool is a good idea, thanks. But I'd need influence for that. But from where? I feel like dropping a Clone Chip means dropping one of my main breakers, because I'm relying on a disposable criminal cloud breaker suite. (At least until I've rushed through my complete deck and got my central breaker suite together, but that's going to take a while and they're restricted to centrals only and I might need to steal an agenda in a scoring remote from time to time.)

The Levy and the Clone Chips are indeed crucial. How about dropping 1 Eye and 1 Drip for 2 Scheherazade?

The PPVP are poor return, and the Forger is inferior to Desperado.

Bank Job.

@BrendanThe Forger is for the So the trashable Breakers don't need But I agree on the PpVPs. Not enough Events for that.

And Bank Job is no good in this Deck. You want the Breakers for Scoring Server.

You don't need breakers to Bank Job an undefended server!

If there is one. I often see Corps, that don't leve the remotes open.

How about Technical Writer instead of Scheherazade? It costs no influence and triggers Geist.

Thanks for the input, I've got rid of PPVP and added Technical Writer. Still unsure about the Bank Job, but I'll just give it a try.

So... with -2 Prepaid VoicePAD I'm not so focused on events any more and I can go -1 Same Old Thing.

Less events also means -3 The Maker's Eye, +2 Medium for R&D access (and +1 Dyson Mem Chip for )

And also -3 Dirty Laundry, +3 Easy Mark for burst econ, since I found I'm getting shut out a lot in the early game.

Speaking of econ, I also went -1 Gorman Drip v1, +2 Bank Job, +2 Technical Writer.

All in all, the deck is much better now!
