"Pragmatist. Overmind. Parasite. Supplier."
This deck emerged from the perception, that Leela suffers from running early and often, which is unfortunately exactly what Criminals are good at. Leela punishes unrezzed ICE. Parasites punish rezzed ICE. Here we go, that seems to make sense. Add some Déjà Vu for recursion. The breaker suite is inspired by the famous "Tai Chi Chuan" deck (Overmind + Grappling Hook + e3 Feedback Implants), even though I prefer to add one Mimic (Architect, Tsurugi, Komainu) and one Breach (Wraparound, Curtain Wall). Box-E complements Overmind and the +2 hand size is awesome against Personal Evolution. Card draw is achieved by Earthrise Hotel. One Supplier and three Hostages to fetch him increase the click compression massively. That leads to Daily Casts and Aesop's Pawnshop. Kati Jones can be fetched from Hostage as well. Armitage Codebusting synergises greatly with Aesop's and helps getting out of the economic hole that is a hostaged Supplier. Crash Space for Meat Damage protection (sufficient with the enlarged hand size) and tag removal (cannot go tag-me with all the resources). Two Scrubbers deal with all the Assets and Upgrades, especially against Replicating Perfection (Sundew, Mental Health Clinic, Ash 2X3ZB9CY) and Near-Earth Hub (PAD Campaign, Daily Business Show, SanSan City Grid, Our Lord and Saviour Jackson Howard). For multi-access add one R&D and two HQ Interfaces.
That leaves not as many Events as usual Criminal builds, but hey, Leela is NOT your usual Criminal. Three Account Siphons are a must though. Apart from that three Sure Gamble and two Special Order plus the already mentioned Déjà Vus and Hostages.
The deck is very interesting to play and certainly something different. Even though it uses the same breaker suite as "Tai Chi Chuan" it is a completely different story. Mulligan for a Supplier or Hostage. The rest will sort itself out. Make a decent economy and card draw your first goal. Other than that? Have fun, I guess. :)

Nope, as I just use an Overmind counter to break. Also protecting a remote Wraparound will have strength zero :) |
Sure looks like I just put Wraparound on my remote and then win the game.
