StarFisk: Into Jankness

FragSpider 87

This is my most recent version of the Fisky Business that has been doing peculiarly well as of late. Was taken to a GNK today, and did fairly well with 3 wins out of 5 games.

I will certainly state now that this deck is not invincible, and does require being somewhat 'unhinged' to play!

Much similar to my original Fisky Business deck; core stategy being hyper-flood HQ with cards by using Fisk Investment Seminar and Fisk's native power at the most appropriate times (usually when the Corp is at max handsize, or they are entering a scoring window), and then mass access HQ using Information Sifting / deny clicks to force card trashing with Data Dealer & Populist Rally / run the scoring sever with Faust and the excess cards you have in hand. Rinse-repeat with Déjà Vu & Same Old Thing-Déjà Vu to your hearts content as the Corp screams with the stupid amount of cards in thier hand.

New additions to this deck involve Aaron Marrón & Human First, which when combined with Logos becomes somewhat horrid for the corporation player. Naturally, appropriate tutoring in the form of Hostage and conservative card draw (Blockade Runner) has also helped keep the deck far more consistent.

... and there is The Black File, well, for... forcibly dragging that game a little longer and giving you one last chance of the Information-Sifting glory. It has certainly helped win a game or two recently!

Biggest downsides of the deck; damage. Oh sweet mother of mercy; Jinteki death-by-a-thousands-cuts can hurt this deck. Similarly; kill decks involving BOOM! can be a nightmare, but clever play with Populist Rally & then Paper Tripping on your next turn can help extend your lifespan. (I have toyed with swapping the Bank Jobs out for Plascrete Carapace's just for keeping Mr Fisk alive just to sell a few more of those precious timeshares!). I may consider putting On the Lam in later variants to help with tagging issues as this deck does not generate huge amounts of credits.

As stated; not perfect in the slightest but it is hilarious to play at a friendly level! :)
