This is a nice little 'attack anywhere' style shaper deck. I really like the tag-me style too, you'll find the carapaces quick with QT and Diesel, and no resources. Closed accounts can suck it, since you have MOpus. 2 femmes make for good test run targets to be aggressive.

Infiltration is so clutch in classic builds, saving you the cost of a run, buying you time to see a trap, and click 3 times for 6 money, or draw if you're comfortable, and laugh at the corp for trying to trick you. Modded is solid tempo+econ that I think belongs in almost all shaper decks, but doesn't make the cut.. I can't say I'd change a thing honestly. Parasite might be on the list...without Datasucker its just okay. I'd almost rather see more utility. You could do -1 parasite -1 corroder +1 account siphon +1 clone chip/levy. An unexpected siphon can really put a hurting on.

Man, whenever I see this many programs and this much burst draw in a deck, I just think it really needs Freelance in it! Then throw in a Levy to recycle it all. It can work wonders to get everything setup. :)

if this deck has any problems, its not money. If you can get Toolbox installed and Opus, you'll have a rediculous amount of money. 3 Link laughs at pretty much any trace you care about, 2 recurring credits, and opus on top of that - its truly insane.

I played this at a tourney and went undefeated, save for one game with an extremely unlucky draw up against jinteki who had a server with 2 janus, a chum, and an ireress with 9 bad pub.

A couple changes I made:

-1 Cypher - Just ackward. the Gordian is enough.

-1 Parasite - As Xer0 said, its only okay.

-1 Quality time - 2 is plenty, and leads to less ackward draws.

+1 Spinal Modem - Its a mini Toolbox. This deck really flounders without a console, so this is hear simply to increase the redundancy of a key card (a console) that you cant tutor for. +2 Scavenge - loves test run > femme or opus, and is generally useful in the late game, allowing you to scavenge things like opus or whatever to get in for your last points.

Super solid list, and proved to me you dont need to do 'cute' things to win. Breakers, money, and good play will get you there most of the time, and this deck has a tool for every threat, and the money to use them.
