Geist goes with friends to the Movies!

Next Data Pack "Sayonara Midseasons!".

Film Critic is my favorite card that has been released recently and this is the deck that it will shine the most in my opinion.

Only real downside of the deck is the lack of multi-access on R&D, but hopefully you can make up for that with HQ interfaces. Can't Wait!

@Dydra Off-Campus Apartment synergises well with Geist and I really enjoy how quick his draw set-up is through his abilities. I would be very careful with using Tri-maf Contact as I know a lot of corps who need Film Critic gone, and are willing to use Corporate Town if necessary, (and that thing can't be prevented with Fall Guy.

If your meta doesn't put your Tri-maf Contact at risk of trashing, you should be ok.

Where does the Agenda from Film Critic goes if trashed with Corporate Town as you describe? It says that the agenda is "uninstalled"

@Dydra That's a good question. The part about the agenda being "uninstalled" is merely for the purpose of card effect terminology, but the whole 'hosting' business is interesting as it's a Runner card hosting a 'Corp' card.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe if a Runner card hosting a Corp card is trashed, then the cards go to their respective discard piles, meaning the hosted Agenda would end up in Archives.

@Mechanoise that makes the most sense from a logical perspective, but also underpowers the card a bit. If you think about it, ending up in the runner's discard pile would totally not make sense from mechanics PoV, or going removed from play ... but there is not wording on the card whatsoever about that, so I assume it's not the case.

Maybe the real question is, how many times can the Corp forfeit an Agenda to trash your Critics or Tri-Maf. Because once Corporate town is up (assuming you didn't clear it with Drive By or some other shenanigans ) , you are definitely going to trash it. Hard for the Corp to stop you, since with this deck you can get in anywhere.

@Dydra Thinking about it some more I'm almost certain that the hosted agenda on Film Critic would go to the corporation archives. It's no different to a Knight or Parasite being hosted on a piece of ICE; when they're trashed they go to the Heap.

I agree with your statement about Trashing these cards individually, but I'm assuming you're going to host them all on Off-Campus Apartment, meaning the corp only needs to trash that card to trash everything hosted on it. Of course, you could install Tri-maf Contact and Film Critic individually, (not host them), but then you're not getting the most out of Off-Campus Apartment. :)

@Mechanoise darn, that's some really valid point. Totally didn't think about that. Grrrr ... I guess it's all about the amount of Corporate Town being played then.
