Memory seems a bit low for all those Icebreakers and Programs, plus Knight is quite a pain to use, without Deep Red to allow for an instant move on the desired ICE. I'd suggest adding the Cäissa console, which would also free you of the MU used by those copies of Knight.

You could remove an R&D Interface and a Datasucker for 3 copies of Deep Red, maybe.

Also, Ninja seems to me a bit of an overkill when you already have 2 Faerie, 1 Femme Fatale and 3 Knights that can take care of Sentries.

It looks really good but I agree with paddosan. Knight is so click intensive without Deep Red, it significantly shuts down the speed advantage you get with using most Criminal cards.

Without deep red, its 1 extra click per knight that you need to install. And odds are you aren't installing more than 1 or 2. Don't waste the influence on deep red. Knight can replace your barrier breaker until you want corroder, since its the most efficient barrier breaker in the game (knight is....look it up). I think the program suite is fine, you don't need a full rig to win as criminal. I would slot for 2 kati's considering she IS your econ, and NBN exists and is big. A backup kati can really save your bacon.

I do recommend 3 desperado and 3 sneakdoor in all gabe decks, since he needs the pressure of running to succeed. I hate FAO these days because of paper wall, pop up, ice wall, etc. I would drop it for the slots for desp and sneakdoor.

1 plascrete feels light too.

Knight is really, really awesome in Gabe decks.

No Deep Red... you want a 3rd Desperado. I would drop the Datasuckers to free up the memory and to give you a second Corroder. Use your Knights for big code gates. I also would find a way to fit Mimic in if I could (don't really see the influence though)... Caduceus makes Ninja cry.

I also honestly feel this style of deck does better going Tag Me so I'd drop the Hostage package and maker sure I had 3x Armitage and 3x Same Old Things.

Yeah, I agree that Knight is awesome even without Deep Red. I don't think the MU is a huge problem, since the Corp is likely to trash the ice hosting Knight -- and if they don't, you likely don't need to install many more breakers anyway. That said, I don't think you need 3x Knight with 3x Special Order in there already.

I also agree with +1 Kati, +1 Desperado, +1 Sneakdoor, unless you bring in Mr. Li. Masanori isn't great for digging, since he only nets you one card per turn. So if you stick with the Hostage package, I'd go:

+1 Hostage +1 Mr. Li +1 Mimic +1 Datasucker +1 Kati Jones

-2 Bank Job -1 Knight -1 Forged Activation Orders

I still think you want the second Kati even with the Hostage package.
