Underhanded

This is an attempt at a hilarious combo for Geist, which is basically Theophilius Bagbiter + any burst econ + Game Day. So, what options do we have for burst econ?

  • Liberated Account. Not ideal, but works in a pinch. Has support from Career Fair to make it a little more bearable.
  • Bank Job. Also not ideal, as it usually requires a naked remote, but with how much asset spam there is these days, I'm not sure it's a problem.
  • Gorman Drip v1. Oh baby, here is where the money lies. Of course, it has an Achilles heel, and that is CVS or a purge at just the wrong time for you. But, I've gotten insane amounts of credits from it on occasion, and it should never be underestimated.

Once Bagbiter is in play, money up ASAP. Then, draw your entire stack (or what's left of it) with Game Day and laugh. Has it worked? Yes. Is it hard to pull off? Definitely. But when you do your jaw drops wide open with all the cloud breakers you'll be able to play.

Really looking for more feedback, as I haven't had time to test this as much as I'd like yet. I also run into problems with getting Bagbiter in time every now and then, so I'm thinking maybe Hostage (Fall Guy is the only other connection though) or simply another copy? Also heavily considering dropping Sure Gamble for Easy Mark. Let me know your thoughts.

And you're not running Faust?

Nope, wanted to try the cloud breaker suite. Unfortunately, I don't think it compares Faust, but it's fun nonetheless.
