This deck went undefeated in Swiss and the cut, scoring out five times, and getting two flatlines with Boom. Opponents were Val, Hayley, Geist, Val, and Geist in Swiss, then Geist and Val in the cut. In extensive testing leading up to the event, I was trying a lot of Palana, Azmari, Skorpios, and CTM, but finding runners way too strong and dealing with ICE quite easily, Geist and Hayley especially, with all the new Shaper animals that essentially Sifr all your ICE, not concerned in the least with their strength. My friend Chris Hay has been playing a Titan deck lately and recommended I try the ID to combat the proliferation of piracy, so I made this a couple days prior and played a bunch of games with it online to see how it felt. The answer was, "pretty, pretty good."
A lot of the card choices here are similar to other recent Titan lists (with the same agenda and ICE suite as the recent list by @Inactivist), as the deck has some very essential includes, but I wanted to have some versatility with operations, being able to pull the right ones at key times, so it's kind of got a Hydra-esque feel, but for operations instead of assets (particularly for HHN, Ark Lockdown, Fast Track if you're set up to score in a remote, and the one Boom!).
You're probably familiar with some fun ways to score GFI here, my favorite of which was in round one of the cut vs Geist: (start turn with 6 credits and 5 points) Biotic, install GFI, install and rez Reconstruction Contract, Atlas counter for Dedication Ceremony, Dedicate Reconstruction and move three counters to GFI, then Audacity for two more counters and the score out.
The reason I call this Coattails (in addition to the familiar "coats" suffix we've all come to love in this game), is because my Runner did quite poorly, going 2-5, and just rode into the cut and 3rd overall on the success of this Titan deck.
This was a great tournament event, and everyone there was fantastic to play and hang out with. Special thanks to the Dunedin and Victoria metas for their inputs and support throughout the lead-up to this tournament, particularly to Peter Harris for stream-of-consciousness level, instant-speed feedback on card choices and ideas, and Chris Hay for encouraging me to take Titan a few days before the tournament (which, incidentally, Peter had also suggested as a strong choice quite a while before that, but I was tunnel visioned on Skorpios at the time).

Rjorb and I spent a fair bit of time on the plane over debating how utterly mad it would be to sneak a kill package into Titan. Ultimately we were cowards, and braver hearts prevailed. Great to see this do well, and congrats! |

New Construction lets you advance and install a Reconstruction Contract in the same action, meaning you can Dedicate the Reconstruction and score the New Construction as though it were a 3/2. It happens fairly often if you lose an Atlas. |

You can Fast Advance New Construction. For example 1: Install New Construction. 2: Advance, Installing Reconstruction Contract with the ability. 3: Play Dedication Ceremony on Reconstruction Contract. |

This deck has given me more 5-minute wins than any other. So many fools blindsided. I don't know if it's evil or genius or both. I'm wondering about the two Fast Tracks - I feel like I'd rather have one and a scarcity? Maybe I'm just too timid with scoring, but I feel like I rarely have a really good window to pull off any Fast Track shenanigans. |

I dropped Priority Construction for a second Boom a long time ago. Helps a lot. And it makes me glad to play biotic and 2xboom against "tag me" decks. I also changed the ice now to 3 Ice Wall, 3 Mausolus, 3 Spiderweb |

Played this deck a couple times, and i find the lack of ice disturbing (only 7) can be rez without conditions. |

Yeah, that's fair |
Finding the Consulting Visit on the first turn tilted me hard - had to suddenly hit the breaks and play around HHNs and who knows what else you're packing. We'd been trying to figure out how to fork Titan into a kill package, I think you've nailed it.
