Tech Lord of the Underworld

pj20 1593

This is the deck I played at both Store Championships this week. I barely missed the cut in both (5th/10 & 6th/16). It is very similar to the German Geist from Worlds, with a few changes:

Inside Job / Spear Phishing are early-game crutches if you have no breakers installed but Spy Cam'd an agenda on R&D (or they installed behind ice in a remote). They can also be a Same Old Thing target once you've Levied or have a Levy in hand.

I swapped an Off-Campus Apartment for a Feedback Filter for PE/PU matchups, and the fact you'll only ever want 1 Off-Campus.

Legwork instead of Information Sifting was probably a mistake, as I lost to both CI's I played against.

Lustig instead of Mongoose in case they stack sentries, but also for that trash ability if you really need it (Tour Guide?).

I love this deck, and it did very well on j-net before these championships. I was hoping to see some CtM or more Weyland, as this deck has really favorable matchups there. It can make boatloads of money and usually has really strong link & can draw cards to handle any type of damage (esp. w 2x Levy).

Why Feedback Filter over Caldera?

@InsanitI did go back and forth... mainly FF because it's hardware & 1 cheaper to install... bonus for the trash ability if you hit a crazy Brain Damage Cerebral or something. If Caldera was a connection it would be in the deck
