So as a lot of you know I have been testing Geist for a while. He was in a decent place before but with the arrival of Film Critic and soon Security Chip and Technical Writer he is going to get a big power boost.

The level of synergy between Geist cards is something I have not seen before, his econ, draw and breakers all support each other in a way that can lead to great power but also great responsibility. He is an aggressive runner that can threaten anywhere as long as you don't waste your resources and focus on high impact runs.

KEY CARDS: 2x Crescentus - These are for your big problem ice, your tollbooths and curtain walls etc

3x Technical Writer - with the exception of the 3 central breakers, all of Geists programs and hardware cost 0 or 1 credit to install which makes a single technical writer either a full refund or profit. All while feeding into his ability and building pressure on the corp by threatening centrals with a huge pile of money just waiting for you.

2x Film Critic - This card helps you beat Future Perfects by ignoring the psi game and helps you steal that first astro without getting nuked by a midseason deck. One of the biggest problems I had with the MKI version of this deck was not sitting on a lot of money since the breakers dont need a lot of money, film critic lets you steal agendas using the efficient runs without being vulerable to counter attack.

2x Security Chip - Security chip lets you threaten remotes even with big ice on them by being able to potentially give all your cloud breakers +4 strength for that must run situation.

1x Drive by - an addition to deal with Batty and Caprice who are the greatest enemy to this deck.

Almost everything in this deck that isnt an event has a trash effect that feeds into Geists ability and Technical Writer gives you money for setting up. Be aggressive but judicious with your cloud breakers. it is absolutely key to maintaining your threat that you use the central breakers wherever possible.

Make sure you save legworking for the mid to late game when they fear to play agendas against your cloud rig, ensuring a stocked HQ.

Save Same Old Thing for Levy or for a silver bullet like Drive By or Inside Job. Along that same vein its best not account siphon unless you can clear tags and the corp is fairly low on cash.
