Deus Drake

After watching Code-Marvelous futz around on youtube with a Kabonesa Wu deck using Panchantantra and Deus X to access servers (1 2), the decks being themselves based on a list by Japoco, I thought "why not just port all that stuff into a Pirate Haley shell.

The basic idea is setting up tech traders while making accesses with Bitey and Birdie Boys. Deus X can also be used for this in conjunction with Panchantantra to give ICE the AP type if they don't have it yet. Deus X is also fantastic against Jinteki and its annoying net damage crap. In the late game double Panchantantra plus Sadyojata means that you are able to break anything.

Unfortunately this deck is a bit slow in the setup. Even with two hostages, three Diesel, two Hoppers and three Pedlers, Tech Traders like to hide. Usually your first SMC should go for Sahasrara in order to offset the cost of your future SMCs, Grappling Hooks and repeat Deus X installs, and DJ Fenris is of course in order to get Armand "Geist" Walker.
