figuring out how to hate of faust. this deck probly will be finiky like most of my decks but the core parts are patching swordsman so that he is out of the way for mimic. since faust would be killed off then have to worry about scoring hous of knifes to snipe the hand to pull other cards that will recourse faust. will o the wisp will help on denighing or slowing the runner down. hopefuly faust. which would then force them to discard cards. if that happones try to score out chromos project so that you can remove the heap . it is finky but maybe with some sugestion and play test we can f faust.

Midway Station Grid seems like a pretty solid Faust counter in any deck running multiple subs. I'd also give Ashigaru and IQ a look. Aside from large stacks of big ICE you can't keep Faust out, but you can sure make it prohibitively expensive to use every turn. Then it's just about using non-agendas to force runs that don't gain the runner points (Ronin/Corporate Town/SanSan City Grid) or leveraging credit-based means of stopping access (Caprice Nisei, Ash 2X3ZB9CY). You could also attempt to use ambushes but I think that dilutes your deck too much. Swordsman is great against Faust but is not a 3-of. It will harm your match-ups with pretty much every other runner. I would run two, and run Sub Boost alongside fewer copies of Patch. A Sub-boosted Swordsman is a hard lock-out for a deck running only Faust, which means the game is just about getting to your agendas before the runner does. |
Harvester seems better with cards that reduce the Runner's hand size - so a Valley Grid could put in some work (so long as it's triggered before they hit Harvester), though Hokusai Grid works with your ability better.
