This Leela decks's lost only one game in my last two tournaments (both six rounds of Swiss, one a regional). Somehow, a bunch of jank, starting with a foolish idea, seems to be solid.
The thinking is "with Logos, I can have a higher number of different cards than my Professor deck". (This has 31.) I'm a simple man.
This decks is based around three cards. Mulligan ideally to two of these, in this order of priority: Kati Jones, Logos, Mr. Li.
(If the Corp mulligans, can be worth keeping a disruptive hand, so don't forget to take that into account.)
The deck consists of the following: 3 Gambles, 3 Logos. Two each of Kati, Li, Siphon, Shutdown, Inside Job, Special Order, R&D Interface, Daily Casts, Same Old Thing, Rex. Then one-ofs. Lots of one-ofs. (19)
(Steve Klabnik's guide for Logos Leela is worth reading.)[http://netrunner.steveklabnik.com/logos-leela/] Basically, load up Kati, building for a big "power turn". Ideally have one in response to a Corp score turn. Mr Li and Logos find you your big effects.
You want to have as many different sorts of power turns as possible. Today I managed to "Account Siphon you to 0, Indexing, run again to steal and bounce HQ ICE, Legwork". Legwork and Sneakdoor are both great cards that are boosted by HQI. It's very hard to protect all servers from Leela. Leela's ability, Femme and Inside Jobs are all excellent ways to get somewhere you maybe shouldn't.
Traffic Jam is a surprisingly decent Current. Firstly, useful as anti-Current. Secondly, it's a great mid-to-lategame card against a lot of decks. Leela's a good home for it because she wants her opponent to have scored. It's not amazing, but a really strong roleplayer.
Feedback Filter's great against Jinteki. Plascrete is needed, more than ever. Utopia can disrupt a SEA Source, can stop Efficiency Committee token-Shipment, and is generally just a powerful card.
3 Gambles, 2 Kati, 2 Daily, 1 Dirty Laundry, 1 Lucky Find, 1 Bank Job, Armitage Codebusting, 1 Security Testing seems like an odd econ package, but a dozen econ cards is good, and if one's dead, it's just a singleton, who cares?
The breaker suite and Clone chip are a bit ... eccentric. But they work.
Weaknesses: Glacier decks with heavily iced remotes. Everything else I seem to have decent game against. (I do a little worse against meat-kill-focussed decks, but I think that's my own playstyle.)
Leela's a great position in the metagame: she's the worst ID for a lot of corps to play against, and doesn't really have any terrible match-ups. Logos, Mr Li and a ton of one-ofs give you a lot of fun decision trees, disruption and chances to show off. What more could you want?
