The Professor is a big Bill Shakespeare fan.

The very first thing you can do is swap Monolith for The Toolbox—I have a weird thing for making Monolith work. Djinn and Datasucker are notable absences here, but the idea is to set the Atmans to break particularly troublesome ICE in the mid- to late-game.

There's a good discussion on getting Monolith out early here. (Hint: Freelance Coding Contract.) I came across that when I did my own pondering about Mono-Professor combos. My attempt was trash, but it gave me some good ideas for running Shaper that eventually turned into a pretty formidable Kate deck.

I'm a big fan of Personal Workshop plus Stimhack as a Monolith enabler.

Now all we need are cards called 'Cry' and 'Havoc'...

But yeah, love this deck, and would definitely consider Freelance Coding Contract - especially if you're rolling Levy.

I'd also point out that your only economy is Magnum Opus and Sure Gamble (No I'm not counting Stimhack :P - which while good - just aren't good enough I feel to manage as many expensive programs and events you have. I mean sure, MOpus is good for long term, but it still doesn't beat a bit fat 8 credit FCC or something for burst eco.

I played Freelance Coding Contract in The Professor for a while and, honestly, is never liked it. Getting Magnum Opus out ASAP is key but Personal Workshop and Test Run can carry you through the early game, allowing you to put on some pressure while building up.

You know Rex is almost entirely worse than Gordian, right? (Especially given how few Code Gates there are with 4 or more subs.)

Does Grappling Hook do work for you?

It almost seems like you want to play Crescentus in this deck. Why exactly 2 Atman?
