CONTEXT: I have been playing a version of Andy-does-a-Ken-impression for a while now. Why, you ask? Event-based criminal is better in Ken..., right?

maybe...

PREAMBLE: Ok so Forged Activation Orders, FAO for short, is a card. Is it good? The critics are out on this one folks. However, at least out of the Criminal faction, one would think there are better options. What if the target ICE is a pop-up-window?

The theory behind this deck is the following:

  • FAO is in fact a good card.
  • FAO is an early game card that is best on the very first turn of the game, and falls off hard after that, becoming merely a role player.
  • In order to maximize our chances of playing FAO on turn 1, Andromeda is the ID of choice.

BODY: So here I am playing a Ken or maybe a Gabe deck out of the wrong ID. FAO turn 1 is just so good though, let me tell you. A 9-card opener is so many options...

The goal of this deck is to win on turn 1. How? Here are some examples:

  • Gamble + FAO + Sniper + Siphon. Don't put Sentries on HQ :D
  • FAO + High-Stakes + Despie + Testing. Enjoy clicking for credits, corpo (@,.,@)
  • FAO + Indexing + Laundry + any run. Double steal start!!!
  • FAO (HQ) + Despie + Inside Job + Shutdown. If it was booth don't forget to say "gl-hf" ^_^

Previous versions included Ninja, CompEmp, Parasites and PAD Taps.

Now that our beloved *pkew *pkew high-calibre killer is getting nerfed it's time to accept that this deck will never be Tier 1. It is Tier FUN tho hehe
