19 Card Monte - 3rd Place Chicago GLC Qualifier

I like it. I think Sneakdoor Beta is really strong in this deck since it's a great card in general and helps counters Crisium Grid/Caprice Nisei on HQ in an effective way. With Sneakdoor, Dyson Mem Chip seems like a requirement so you have space for your rig, and HQ Interface works super with Sneakdoor so it's a good swap for Legwork (I'm actually considering HQI instead of Legwork in my no Sneakdoor build just to have a bit more resilience to Crisium Grid).

Looks like you had to drop both Security Testings in order to make the swaps. Given that you're swapping out cheap money for expensive tools, how did you feel your early economy was? When I was testing the Sneakdoor Beta setup that was what put me off; I felt like my opening hands were marginally more pricey and hard to work with and it lead to more faltering out of the gate. That said, I think they'd both improve the end-game significantly.

Between Dirty Laundry, Desperado, and Account Siphon I always felt ok on money. I think I landed maybe 2 Bank Job all day, but it worked as a remote deterrent in other games which was really nice in controlling econ. It definitely not super rich compared to Reg MaxX or Prepaid Kate, but it was enough to get the job done.

I've never played Geist before, but I just noticed you have exactly 1 link card to turn on the cloud breakers, the Dyson Mem Chip. With no tutoring, isn't that really inconsistent? Or do you just sack icebreakers in early runs until you find it?

@RubbishyUsername If you give it a play, you'll find that you don't often need to go over 5 memory, even with the cloud breakers. Most of the time, you're burning them almost as quickly as you install them to break 4-5 strength taxers like Eli 1.0, Lotus Field, and Tollbooth. If you install Dyson Mem Chip when you draw it, it gives you a little breathing room to also have Sneakdoor Beta or Crescentus installed along with a full breaker suite, but the deck can run along just fine without putting the B&E breakers into the cloud. They're there to assist an early Account Siphon land and to get around efficient taxing ICE that stall out the Criminal running economy.

@RubbishyUsername like @linuxmaier you use your B&E Cloud Breakers to fuel early runs. Think of them more as an inside job that draws you a card rather than an actual icebreaker.

I do not want to nitpick but You could just fill in "Derived from" section - it would be easier for people looking at "Are you Watching Closely? to find your variation.
