Faust Ken (5th Place Aus Nats, Top of Swiss - https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/37768/faust-ken-5th-place-aus-nats-top-of-swiss-) with only one change: +1 Cerberus "Rex" H2 −1 Peacock

Picked this deck up last Thursday for a GNK and decided to play it at the Manchester BABW.

Games as below: Swiss Round 1 - CTM (Mostly TheBigBoy list with Prisecs Round 2 - Blue Sun (Vegan w Sandburg & Caprice) Round 3 - (ETF Mushin - TheBigBoy list) Round 4 - ETF (Next FA w Crisiums)

Top 4 Double Elimination Round 1 - SYNC kill (Shanodin homebrew) Round 2 - ETF (Next FA w Crisiums)

Moving forward would drop The Turning Wheel for a second Employee Strike and Networking for a second Cerberus "Rex" H2. Also worth testing -1 Dirty Laundy, +1 High-Stakes Job.

Deck felt extremely solid. An early Temüjin Contract pays for ALL your drugs. Between Faust, E3 and the breakers suite I could always find a way to get into a server when I needed to.

In my opinion, the 2x Inside Jobs are Sacrosanct. I think sometimes people forget that Account Siphon into Inside Job is an incredibly strong remote play and I firmly believe every 'standard' Criminal deck should have them. Mulligan for Temüjin Contract, it makes the rest of the game so much easier :)

Haha, no worries. I'm not sure about 1x Cerberus but I do like 2x Rex better. Otherwise, glad to see the deck is working out.

I agree on Inside Job!!! I always play three. The first i use to access the first remote install behind an ICE and the 2nd and 3rd Inside Job I use as economy. With Mongoose on the board Inside Job on an Ichi 1.0 is the same as a Sure Gamble + a run! There's no underestimating the economy of this card. Its mini blue stimhack if used correctly. 90% of the time I use inside job to access the scoring remote. Most corp can't account for the extra credits that comes with skipping their outside ice because its a calculation that isn't on the board. This thwarts Ash 2X3ZB9CY, Tollbooth, Red Herrings, the list goes on.

@Katsushika``@Chicken Slayer also why did you guys decide to go with no public terminal? Was it a silver bullet/deck space issue or do you think the card isn't worth the slots in Ken right now? ( I guess those are kind of the same thing)

@d3l3t3 I can't speak for @Chicken Slayer but Public Terminal doesn't seem worth it. There's only 9 Run events in the deck that Public Terminal will effect. Even with more, it's a very low impact card and just isn't worth including. If you want some more econ, Kati Jones would be where it's at.

Pretty much. It's not worth the deck slot compared with the other econ you have access to. You'd need to run High Stakes Job at least to make it worth considering and it's just not in the same league as Temujin
