Armand's Bargain Bin

This is a re-post of my previous Geist build. I was able to trim it down to 45 cards after much personal deliberation. Feedback welcome! :)

Events - Legwork is here to try and get some timely pulls from HQ, or even to force the Corp to think twice about putting that Ash or Caprice on R&D. Levy is an auto-include in any Geist build.

Hardware - I'm determined to kick some ass with the Cloud breakers, so the need for max performance is taken care of with 3 Clone Chips. Forger is the obvious choice for Console here. The only thing I see hurting me is Midseasons, so I'll just have to try and stay ahead monetarily if I suspect that play. RDI kicks major ass in any deck, really...so I gotta have that too. Cortez Chips are in, now, as well. They will function as a Corp tax at any point during a game when I feel the need to be aggressive.

Resources - Crash Space will work against tag-n-bag shinanegans, and Fall Guy will keep the Corp paying (money and clicks) to try and shut down the connections here. If they can keep up with you there, they've probably already won the game anyway, methinks. Armitage, cuz I like having a cheap (albeit poor-man's) version of Opus around with recursion (Levy) if the game goes long. Muertos Gang Member has received quite a bit of press on here, and I completely agree with Krystman on his evaluation of this card. One of my goals is to keep practicing with this deck until I get it (the use of MGM) right! I gotta have the Baby in here for some stability, and AtG is yet more cheap Link to keep up with traces and such. Street Peddler is another auto-include in Geist decks, as is Underworld Contact. I recently added a Kati Jones in here to have a big burst option for a mid/late game push.

Icebreakers - With my link holding the fort down, there will be pretty much nothing I can't get into once 6 or more of these are on the board. My only worries are traps (Lab Dog isn't widely used yet, Data Mine may see more play when Chronos Protocol comes out, and Excalibur only worries me on the first hit) and if they try to hide behind Mother, just MGM that shiznit, or shut it down.
