Like Geist But With Tutors - 2-1 at Orlando, FL GNK

Took this deck to a 5 man GNK in Orlando, FL to a 2-1 record. Inspiration for this deck was a similar list posted on this site the week prior, but with changes made to add cards I considered more suitable to the archetype while cutting extra copies of Wasteland for more Spy Cameras and Street Peddlers. Basic strategy of the deck is to use Tech Trader to make money off all of your cheap installables to power your runs on R&D and the remote, using Sports Hopper, Street Peddler and Laguna Velasco District to draw your deck quickly. Random aside: this deck had no name until I went to the event and discussed the deck strategy with another player, where I summarized the deck with the title used here.

Round by round breakdown:

R1: Played against the podcast The Source's Ve on Calibration Testing CtM. This deck suffers hard against asset spam, and this round was no different. Ve's assets reached a point where I could not handle them effectively, but I made a showing and at least kept the pressure up. The loss was inevitable.

R2: Played against a player on a rushy Personal Evolution deck with Neural Emp as a backup kill plan. I had a ridiculous early draw, including all 3 Tech Traders in the first four turns along with a Laguna Velasco and Sports Hoppers. Camped the remotes and R&D, and then poked HQ until all the agendas fell out.

R3: Played against a Harmony Medtech deck on all 2 pointers, looking to do a rush/FA style strategy. Spy Camera found a Braintrust on R&D turn one on an open R&D (opponent ICE'd HQ and a remote to protect the 2 agendas already in hand). Used the early point advantage to take a few turns to set up, and then shake 4 more points out of HQ after the corp player installed and advanced a failed trap in their remote to Trick of Light tokens from it to another Braintrust in hand. Had two runs worth of credits to attack HQ on my last turn, found the winning agenda on the second run.

I was surprised that Spy Camera Hayley was still a viable archetype, and also with how well Laguna Velasco allows for one to set up this deck's economy. All-Nighter also surprised me as well, but it turns out that getting a click and 2-3 credits for 0 clicks (Hayley install triggers are awesome, if you didn't know) is pretty dang good. Three copies of Sacrificial Construct was too many, definitely going to cut down to two in future testing and put in a third All-Nighter to decrease the set-up time and have more zero-cost cards to generate credits with Tech Trader. This deck really needs some way to combat assets, I'm heavily considering including a few copies of Paricia in that endeavor, but unsure what to cut right now for them.
