Aesops Akiko

Aerodyne 90

Heavy R&D pressure deck. With Akiko's ability you are forcing the corp to spend 1 credit every time you check R&D otherwise you see two cards.

Quite a few toolbox-y programs you can sell to Aesops when you're done with them, and if you want them back you can Reclaim them or DJ Fenris to get Stevie C's ability, and pivot into some HQ runs (probably very lightly defended) to get recursion.

1 of Escher if the corp gets a lot of rezzed ice on R&D, if their credits are low, you can swap it all with their other unrezzed ice, and then you have a few turns of super cheap runs.

1 of Because I Can to stop clown car nonsense in the remote if needed. Puts cards back into R&D where you can safely access them on your terms and trash if needed.

Dummy Box over Sac Con because you have a lot of resources and programs you don't mind trashing to save something important.

Inti can be expensive, so Datasucker and Takobi should help get around that.

One issue with this deck might be MU, but you should be able to sell a program to Aesops if you need room for something else and get it back with Steve/Reclaim later if needed. I looked at similar decks such as the Hayley that came 4th at US nationals and they had a similar amount of programs with the same MU... should be okay I think.

I've always liked 1 Dhegdheer in Aesop's decks to help with the MU and make your Caches, etc a bit more profitable. Also nice for hosting SMC so it doesn't hog your MU.
