Questions:

Do I trade "Send a Message" and "SanSan City Grid" for "License Acquisition" and "Project Beale"?

"Anoetic Void" vs "Manegarm Skunkworks"? If Manegram, could those two influence points be spent elsewhere? Government Subsidies, Magnet, Rototurret?

Maybe ditch the SYNC's all together for two more SanSans? License Acquisition only allows the rez of assets or upgrades from archives, therefore those are the types of cards better to trash to Anoetic Void. Both Spin Doctor and Snare are terrible cards for such a mechanic.... (SanSan is ideal) If the SanSan's increase in numbers, is it viable to switch Project Beale's with Remastered Edition?

How often would a runner play a "just tag me" playstyle? Is Retribution enough of a deterrent? Is there an argument to include a Phycographics'?

"If the SanSan's increase in numbers, is it viable to switch Project Beale's with Remastered Edition?" I suspect Remastered won't work as well. SanSan scores Beales out of hand, which wins games.

Psychographics: I think it'll be pretty rare this deck has 2+ tags on the runner. You have 7 cards in your deck that can plausibly give someone a tag, and 4 of those can only trigger once each game, so your Funhouses would have to do serious work to make Psychographics worthwhile. (F2P can also cause a tag, but it's cheap enough to avoid that I doubt the tag will land most games).

License Acquisition vs. a 3rd Beale: With SanSan in play, you install/advance/advance License Acquisition to score 1 agenda point and eventually gain a click with Bass on a later turn. My instinct, probably more efficient to take the same install/advance/advance to just take 2 agenda points with Beale. I think your most efficient path to 7 agenda points is one 3-pointer and two 2-pointers. If you do see yourself scoring multiple 1-pointer agendas many games, maybe consider Arella Salvatore?
