I wonder if two of each type of breaker is needed. There is not a whole lot of program trashing out there. And you have enough tutoring with the three Self-modifying Codes in a 40 card deck.

I would try -1 Blackstone, -1 Refractor, -1 Switchblade, +2 Clone Chip, +1 Net Mercur (the earlier you see this card, the better). The Clone Chips can be used to get trashed programs, recurring Self-modifying Codes to get another breaker and (probably most importantly) used to recur Parasite.

The CyberSolutions Mem Chip seems a bit excessive as well. With Mirror you get 6 which is enough for a fractor, decoder, killer, 2x Cloak and a Parasite. You don't really have another 2 worth of programs to install.

Other than that I really like the idea of Account Siphon and Parasite to disrupt the Corp's plans.

Thanks for the comment. I played this last night and it was fun. And even won against etf. I really would like to put in the clone chips. I got advice that akamatsu mem chip might be better, or stim hack, makers eye, same old thing to compliment account siphon. I basically attacked corp economy, when corp got down to 5 credits, I would run account siphon, force him to Rez ice on hq, then run the heck out of r&d until I won. The most useful thing would probably be lots of stealth credits and that event that makes all ice gain the three subtypes to be able to use switchblade all day long.
