No Research Noise

You don't even need to run! Just install Hard at Work, Data Leak Reversal, and Joshua B. and force the Corp to discard 3 cards a turn. They will either try to score really quick or protect archives like mad from a mass score. If you happen to have Singularity on you, boom! All that work on that remote server gone.

Use Darwin and The Personal Touch to break everything. To make the rig cheaper, add e3 Feedback Implants or use Surge, since it is immediately useful with Darwin. Should be able to get Darwin and Datasucker out pretty quick with Djinn.

Queen's Gambit and Singularity. Always fun to give the Corp hope, blow it all away, and walk away with credits.

No Sure Gamble. Instead I opted to rely on Hard at Work, Liberated Account, Queen's Gambit, and Gorman Drip v1 for my money needs. I wonder if you can prevent discarding Gorman Drip v1 with Sacrificial Construct, get the credits, and keep the virus counters on it... not that I would unless there was a LOT of virus counters on it somehow, but hmm?

Don't really need Medium or Overmind. I wanted to make immediate use of all that unused MU as well as give Djinn a good use for that 3rd MU spot while you get up your beefy Darwin rig. Keep Corp honest by protecting centrals at least.

This deck does not draw really fast... need to think about how to improve that.

You know that the corp can simply trash your ressources like DLR and Joshua, right?

Just to clarify - If you choose not to trash Drip by using Construct, then you also do not gain the ability. It has been ruled that if you have to pay a trash to do the ability then if you don't pay that trash - you don't get the ability as the payment was not done.

For Hard at Work I still have not decided on how to look at this economy, because let's do the math with an example.. you get this on first turn and the game lasts for 18 your turns = you spend 2 clicks (draw and install) + 18 clicks during the next 18 turns = 20 clicks to gain -5+18*2=31 credits. As a total gain for a single (or in your case 3) card slot(s), it is a good amount, but if you check this with credit/click ration it's only 31/(20+2usless copy card draws)=1.41 while a Sure Gamble is 4/2=2 so the tempo for this type of eco is much worse.. in end that is something you can consider always - if you are having troubles early game, try a more tempo economy - if not, then this might be a good fit for you although you would still have to compare this instead to some other long term eco cards - like Kati Jones.

@Oneiro Joshua to put me at 5 clicks and a tag. Activating DLR. first (5th) click auto gives me 2 Credits, Trash, trash, trash, get rid of tag with 2 credits. Am I missing something?

@ReiNijs Thanks for the explanation. I'll have to think about it abit more, but thanks for the feedback :).

@gravityab Joshua gives you a tag at the end of the turn. The Corps first click will be to trash Data Leak, second click trash Joshua.
