The deck concept is simple:

• Desperado and Security Testing is one of the most consistent and backbreaking econ engines in the game
• No faction can afford to splash both of those cards (except Criminal, of course)
• Trade In allows you to only need 1 Desperado, which allows you to fit in 2 Security Testings
• Rabbit Hole is a great target for Trade In. You can pull all three out of your deck immediately and the 2 cost offsets the tutor cost of Trade In
• Rabbit Hole/Underworld Contacts was "close" in competitive circles, and the added utility with Trade In just might push it over the edge
• Because of Trade In we get to add one-ofs of great hardware: HQI, Plascrete, and Feedback Filter
• John Masanori, Dirty Laundry, and Datasucker are great for a run-centric runner (and clickless econ as well)
• I've decided to go Atman, which has synergy with Datasucker, which means I need Inti for Wraparound
• The worst thing about the deck is a lack of Mimic. I can't find a way to include both Mimic and Parasite, and I'm liking Parasite more
• Pipeline is just like Inti in the deck, it's there to facecheck Komainu if I need it

All in all, I've had a lot of anecdotal success with the deck and even against top tier competition. Notable absences are Legwork and Mimic. Mimic is addressed above, but I'm going for HQI for three reasons: 1. I only have influence for one HQ access card 2. The super efficient runs I'm getting allows me to be able to access HQ multiple times throughout the game (also since I have so much R&D pressure and Archives pressure with Security Testing) 3. I can reliably tutor for it if I need it

Let me know if there's any other questions. Better yet, try the deck out and let me know what you think! Ideally, this is a competitive deck so keep that in mind with who you are playing.

Thanks!
