Noise Attenutated

Okay, so here's a deck. It's pretty neat, because it doesn't run any icebreakers. Ice is for wimps anyway, so icebreakers are for super wimps. Our goal here is to avoid encountering anything ever. Not even once.

The goal of this deck is to take advantage of the window between ice being rezzed and ice being encountered. You go in with parasites loaded up on your personal workshop, and then burn it all to the ground. It's pretty important to get your Hivemind on Progenitor, so that you can use virus breeding ground to knock it back up after the corp hits the purge button. That'll happen a lot, but don't sweat it. It's basically a free turn.

There's a lot of recur in this deck- I've also played with levy instead of clone chips, but levy represents a lot of prep and effort to get those cards back. As it is, you have 3 parasites, plus 3 clone chips, plus 3 deja vu, plus 3 same old things. You should have 18 parasites to win with, so I don't want to hear any excuses. Darwin could go in there, but usually the game goes pretty definitively.

Plascrete is expensive, so use imp and burn anything you can't afford to steal. It also works pretty well as an alternative to demo run, since you can just put more virus counters on your hive mind later.

You'll get hurt against tag/bag and fast advance, but it does really well against other decks. If you're seeing tag/bag, try to keep I've Had Worse in hand when you run. If you're against FA, try to remember that it won't last long.

Lotus Field is too popular to not have an answer for.

Parasite and Clone Chips are both on the Most Wanted List so in a tournament this deck would be illegal as you have a 21 influence deck.

Also Architect and Lotus field will shut you out of the game as both are effectively immune to your strategy.

That said, NoiseShop, like the one you have here, was one of the more dominant archetypes for a while.
