Geistbusters v0.1

Shiiuga 1266

Just an idea I've had floating around since I saw the spoilers for Armand "Geist" Walker and Faust. Originally I thought that perhaps Geist's ability would sync with Faust, but that was sadly too good to be true. However, I still think his ability to draw cards up quite quickly by doing other things that are beneficial to him might mean it still procs quite well.

Get your hand size up with Public Sympathy, then use some effects. There are 21 in the deck and a Levy AR Lab Access to cycle them back through.

Access to Globalsec gets your link up to speed for the cloud breakers, and The Helpful AI boosts it temporarily until you can find it. THAI also boosts the strength of a cloud breaker to potentially 12 if all other breakers are installed.

Faust can be used to break ICE after you've trashed a couple of cards to boost your hand. This can be achieved by breaking a prior piece of ICE with a cloud breaker or Grappling Hook and e3 Feedback Implants, or by Clone Chipping out a breaker or Crescentus. There's a number of possibilities.

There are some slightly maligned cards in here, and it's not for me to say that their time has come, but they have a bit more utility when you consider that you're drawing a card and then doing the thing. Access to Globalsec is in over Dyson Mem Chip because it's cheaper, you don't really need the MU and it stacks to make you harder to trace. Cortez Chip is a bit left field and it might get removed, but it's good to pop against Blue Sun if you think they're about to make bank. Crash Space is your scorch protection.

This is pure speculation at the moment - a theme some of you may have noticed with my decks - as I haven't had a chance to sit down and play Geist. I think it could be fun, though.

With 18 resources, especially those Daily Casts and Earthrise Hotel, this deck is screaming for a Career Fair or two.
