Pre-rotation decklist |
After being asked what I played at the SC, I decided to publish my decklists. I originally wanted to play Perfume Shop but as my Corp deck was reeeeealy slow (Gagarin Temple, will also put it up today), I needed Runner games to go FAST, so it was win hard or lose harder :D During the Store Champs, I won against Titan FA, Argus Casting Call, and BABW Kill (funnily enough I dropped a second plascrete as I find kill quite weak at the moment and didn't expect much kill to show up...), losing only to Fastrobiotics as I neither found desperado or bank jobs in the first 30 cards and couldn't keep up trashing his stuff while stealing 15 minutes again and again and again without data dealer to sell it (very nicely played by my opponent as well :-) ).
The combination of drugs, Faust, and e3 is super powerfull and the deck runs enough economy to sustain 2 dealers and still has money to trash campaings and pay for your other breaker. A typical rig consists of Faust, Sucker, Sneak Door, Mongoose. Turing is your goto answer for Turing. Data Dealer was a short-notice addition against NBN and I really like it, in all other matchups, its typically Faust-fodder. The Deck is very fun to play as its basically working on the econ-denail plan combined with crimnal good stuff. Drive by is for your public enemy number 1 and 2, crisium grid and ash, but are also usefull in any Jinteki matchups. Keep in mind that any variant of HB Next Food Coats (whatever) is easily the worst matchup due to low agenda density and turing and typically no free servers. In case everyone in your meta play that, don't play this deck ;-) If you can keep them poor from the beginning, you have a good shot, otherwise it will degrade into a slug-fest which you most likely will lose in the end (typically on 6 agenda points).
Stuff I would change: Add a second sneak door, even with your amount of draw it might take too long to find it. A thrid Fisk might also be nice, but testing that at the moment. If you want some old-school crim deck, give it a try and give me feedback how you like it :-)

The moment most people see Gabe, they ICE archives regardless of me having Sneakdoor Beta or not and Security Testing archives stops being viable a short time afterwards and you have to switch to remotes. Depending on how many Crisium Grid they play (sure, first one typically goes to HQ ;-), but during testing I played against quite a lot of HB with 2 grids), a grid tends to land on the remote you are likely to security test. As nobody ever plays Drive By you can snipe it and still get your 3 cred to trash e.g. an Adonis Campaign. Of course also works versus Ash 2X3ZB9CY and so on on scoring server. Nevertheless, I will exchange it to Political Operative as it should work so much better against nearly everything :) |

Nice deck and grats on the wins. Faust in Criminal is awesome with Drug Dealer and e3 Feedback Implants. Have you considered John Masanori? I found him to be an excellent addition in a similar build.
How does Drive By help against Crisium Grid? Can't remember seeing a CG in a remote ever.
