The Story

When word hit that the trend setting playboy Ken Express could in fact be the missing clone from Jinteki's own Tenma line the celebrity gossip just couldn't be stopped. The paparazzi surrounded him, everywhere he went, cameras, questions. The funny thing is, although he wouldn't give it away, he liked it that way. Sometimes the best hiding place is in plain sight.

Before Ken split, he managed to set up a Data Leak Reversal meant to slowly and eventually bring down all of Jinteki's research and development effectively ending their reign over his clone brethren. And when the heat from all the Paparazzi dies down he can jump in there manually and take care of a few choice projects when he needs to. Not to mention the ties he has in various gangs bring in the information he needs when the corporations are being hasty.

The Execution

Keys to the deck:

Ideally get a Gang Sign and Logos out early, massive amount of card draw to build up your rig from Diesel and Laramy Fisk: Savvy Investor which also helps chew through R&D. The rig is all the resources, save the Paparazzi until you get a Wireless Net Pavilion and a Fall Guy out, and if possible after Data Leak Reversal is installed too. This makes it a serious pain to trash the DLR. Don't manually trash any DLRs because you'll want to keep re-installing.

Primary:
  1. Data Leak Reversal Mill using Paparazzi for tags and protection. Protect these with Wireless Net Pavilion and Fall Guy.
Backup:
  1. Eater - Keyhole
  2. Logos Allows you to keep from getting too far behind and hold more pieces in your hand as you draw up.
  3. Gang Sign and HQ Interface Bring in some accesses to help pressure agenda flooded HQs.
  4. Hades Shard You all know what to do with this by now. Don't get pre-mature with it, install it asap, and if you loose all of your fall guys pop it before it gets trashed.
Econ:
  1. Tri-maf Contact is all the credits you need
  2. Drug Dealer gives you consistent draw while Diesel, Express Delivery and Fisk Investment Seminar speed things up.

Why this way?

Ken "Express" Tenma: Disappeared Clone is simply for the influence to get this whole package together. Many people would think Laramy Fisk: Savvy Investor however to go all in on milling from criminal with Paparazzi is pretty tough. I have a no-breaker Iain Stirling: Retired Spook deck that managed to get a no draw Gagarin down to 4 cards before I scored out after loosing my last DLR. So I wanted to add a backup mill option in keyhole. Ken is the only one with influence

Tri-Maf in a tag-me build? You live dangerously, friend.

I really don't think Ken is the right ID for this, though. Sure, he has two extra influence, but you can cut 1x Diesel (or cut 2x Diesel for 2x Quality Time) and put this in Andromeda and it's instantly a better deck.

@tiedyedvortex That's a great point. I was a little concerned with over-draw, but I think I'll play test with Andy and see what happens

I should also mention that Tri-maf is great because A: you are tagged, but if they trash tri-maf and you have paparazzi, that meat damage is prevented. B: if they trash all your paparazzi first then you're no longer tagged. C: if you have other tags that aren't paparazzi you should have wireless pavilion out and fall guys so that's going to get very very expensive for the corp

Oh, I was assuming you had Account Siphon because that would be a logical inclusion in a Ken Tenma tag-me deck with Eater.
