As a long time Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker player I can give a few tips. You want to maximize your install credit and that means giving yourself the ability to install things on your opponents turn.

Rather than spending influence on special order try upping your Self-modifying Code count to three. This also lets you get other programs and not just breakers. On your opponents turn declare you are using SMC and you get your Kate discount on their turn then yours again.

Your breakers are kind of all over the place as well. Try using the two influence from those special orders we dropped to get two Datasucker which you can pull out of your deck with the Djinn you already have. Datasucker can be installed for free by Kate too, once per turn.

Note that we can now lower the strength of ice with datasucker, so it's time to go all in with Atman. Three copies for sure. Keep your Femme Fatale and Pipeline just in case the corp is running Swordsman. The other cards can be replaced with whatever in faction card you like. I recommend Indexing since it can be devastating to the corp.

When you install Atman start with strength 0, then 4, then whatever strength the rest of their ice is.

You also want to find room for three clone chips in case they find a way to trash your programs.

If you like these changes let me know and I can help you go further down the Kate rabbit hole. :)

Hi @Karnek Thanks for the advice ! I've just change the V1 with this. I must try it before test with your changes. If i put Atmanx3 and Datasuckerx2 i think i'll have too much cards to have a chance to make a full-piracy-first turn even if the Corpo have some Ice ?

Did the augmentation will improve the efficiency ?

Your first turn should be running with nothing installed just to force the corp to spend money to keep you out. If they leave R&D open and you have indexing or medium you are at a huge advantage. You really need to bring the card count down to 45, as that will make your deck more efficient. I'd cut cards like rabbit hole and tinkering/freelance coding. Having the smallest deck you can is incredibly important to keep your deck consistent.
