Follow that thought!

I thought about building a deck built about tracing with the cards I have (1 core, HaP, OaC, and DaD). Any improvement suggestions welcome!

My first thought is that you are running a lot of tag punishment but don't have a lot of tagging options. This should be the opposite. 2x Turnpike, 2x Ghost Branch and 2x News Team is only 6 cards to your 13 punishment cards (3x Traffic Accident, 2x Scorched Earth, 3x The All-Seeing I, 2x Resistor and 3x Quantum Predictive Model).

Data Raven seems like a natural include here, especially since running QPM without it seems pretty pointless.

There are a lot of other things you can do with traces than try to land a tag and flatline. Especially with Surveillance Sweep, your traces can be brutally taxing, opening up big scoring windows. Ash 2X3ZB9CY is the obvious card to legitimize a deck with a lot of tracing support. You aren't running fast advance, so glacier with Ash seems like a good choice.

If you do want to go the flatline route, SEA Source and Midseason Replacements are classics for a reason. These are the cards that will enable a meat damage kill, and MR especially opens up Psychographics as an optional singleton. Data and Destiny gave us Lily Lockwell, which I have yet to see played, but could be pretty powerful here as well.

Thanks @FarCryFromHuman for your suggestions! I'm still learning and all suggestions help! I'll make sure to add some of your suggestions when I get a chance to play this deck.
