A fairly standard Geist decklist. Play breakers to Siphon the Corp. Then Siphon some more. Then recur Siphon. Then use Sneakdoor Beta to Siphon. Then use Levy AR to Siphon more.
If you cannot siphon, use Apocalypse so you can siphon.
I won a small tournament with it and I fairly happy with the list. Some thoughts:
Street Peddler is how Geist becomes consistent. You'll always need something, be it an economy card or a given breaker and Peddler finds that something better than Special Order, Quality Time or any other possible choices.
Three copies is kind of overkill but you need it for consistency.
Sneakdoor Beta is necessary for Geist to work. Otherwise you lose the moment they play Caprice or Crisium Grid on HQ. You only need one copy.
Apocalypse Prevents the game from getting out of hand. Sneakdoor Beta plus Geist's breakers makes it very easy to play. Again, you only need one copy, if you need a second you'll find it when you use Levy.
Technical Writer, Easy Mark Economy that is not reliant on running. The former is where the big money is and what pulls Geist from the scrappy heap. The latter is just for consistency.
Forger Link in hardware form. It cannot be trashed by the Corporation and is cheap. You don't run enough to make use of Desperado and you aren't in a position to use Logos.
Alias, Breach, Passport: These support breakers allow you to get a handful of accesses without burning breakers, making them very useful. They also help with lol siphon, you don't have enough one-use breakers to hit through stacked Elis.
The deck's main flaws are its lack of R&D pressure and that without Technical Writer or Siphon it is very poor. Other than that it's very solid.

You cheat, obviously ;) Nah, you just use it to trash upgrades that block Siphon. |

Only issue I've found very annoying with the street peddlers is they always seem to find Apocalypse , and then I cant use it until i find levy. :( |

Maybe a second apoc or some early birds might be worthwhile? Early bird + an installed same old thing means you can still launch the apoc. |

I think I played against HAARP Butchershop, Sol and a pretty cool Chronos Project deck. They were all fairly good matchups, specially the last one which relied on program trashing and Battys and so had a tough time against Geist.
Haha, yeah it happens sometimes. I just try not to use them if I really need to hit an event.
I first had two Apocalypses but the second copy is almost never used, it just sits on your hand taking influence and space. It's also kind of difficult to keep SoT on the table (you always go tag-me) so Early Bird+SOT wouldn't really work. You don't really need the Apocalypse anyways, it's more of a "get out of nasty situation" card. |

Very nice deck. I have been playing with Technical Writer lately with very good results. The main drawback I see here is lack of multi-access. Medium could be a nice choice, but if you want to take into account NAPD Most Wanted restrictions, it may be hard to come up with such a nice decklist. Which changes would you make? |

Oh, I didn't notice you had a Maker's Eye... but I don't quite like its interaction with Street Peddler... |

The main problem with Geist is that he cannot hammer a server because he cannot spend the breakers. So Medium, for example, wouldn't be too useful (This is why I prefer Maker's to R&D Interface, btw). After the introduction of the Most Wanted List I will just cut one Clone Chip and one Peddler for one Maker's and work from there. |
How on earth do you use Sneakdoor to siphon?
