Description #Faust Joust Aside: Aren't you glad I named this deck such that you can easily remember the correct pronunciation of the card? Anyway; #Faust Joust FAUST IS SO FREAKING GOOD! This deck went 4-1 in swiss at a small 20 person ANRPC tourney at Games of Berkeley in the South West Circuit this weekend, losing to ETF because of a MASSIVE misplay on my part. (Yeah, if you're going to be deep digging R&D, you might wanna force them to remove Jackson so that they actually have to have agendas in R&D and not just in Archives.) It was paired with my Titan deck [Helios](http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/23616/helios-v3-5-1st-place-berkeley-anrpc-qualifier). Oh my god is this icebreaker amazing. It's like an Eater with absolutely no down sides, but it's also an excuse to dump a CRAZY amount of card draw into your deck. Seriously. Faust enables everything which gets your stack into your grip, which means that it's INCREDIBLY consistent. The game plan for the deck works like this: 1) Dig for Wyldside. 2) Dig for Pancakes. 3) Dig for Faust. 4) Dig for Medium(s). 5) Win, because that's literally all you need. Actually, there's a pretty important step in between the last two: 4.5) Vamp them down to 0. This will not be hard. Whizzard will take care of economic assets, and this deck is no where near shy of economy. Career Fair into Liberated Account or Daily Casts is great. But the real reason you'll be rich is very simple: *you don't spend money on runs*. Other then installing your rig, 100% of your cash can be guiltlessly spent on vamping and trashing. Once they're at zero, just pummel R&D with double Medium. Ideally there will be nothing rezzed in front of R&D, but realistically they'll be able to get something like Eli rezzed as protection. Don't worry: Keep hitting R&D until they can threaten to rez something substantial, or you've seen like the top 20 cards and they purge. Now just go about your business, earn cash, draw cards, Parasite the R&D ice, Levy, and then hit 'em again. Or Wanton their hand. Or, honestly, just enjoy the fact that Faust makes scoring windows ridiculously scarce. Various thoughts: * Although it's tempting, try not to run anywhere but HQ before you can vamp. If they can rez something taxing, you'll regret it the whole game unless you can fix your mistake with Parasite. * D4V1D wasn't used very much, but that may have simply been matchup dependent. It's most useful against Weyland. * Oh, right! AI hate ice. Swordsman will trash your Faust, it's true, but that's totally okay. You'll draw another one soon. Parasite it. Turing will keep you out. Parasite it. Wraparound is kinda taxing to get through. If you like, Parasite it, but it's only a problem on R&D. * You must be fearless about what you pitch to Faust. Obviously start with duplicates of Faust, Wyldside, and Pancakes. Then move to your support cards, your econ, your draw, and finally your programs. I mean, obviously it's dependent on the game state, but every single card in this deck is expendable except for Wyldside, Faust, and Adjusted Chronotype and Levy (or Déjà Vu in Levy's place). * This deck is 50 cards. That is not a problem, but it is slightly inconvenient. It means you can wait just 1 or 2 turns more to Levy, which is good. It also means you sometimes see the important cards slightly later than you might like, which is bad, but luckily you have tons of draw. Make your choice about whether or not you want that, and cut cards wisely. * Oh, and take out a Levy. I don't know what I'll spend the influence on, but my biggest take away from playing this deck at the tourney is you don't need 2 Levy. Interesting possibilities include Box-E and Crescentus.
