Personally, I would ditch Thomas Haas and run Grndl refinery instead. You have the influence, and it works a lot better. Also, once you've trashed one grndl refinery and taken 20+ credits from it, runners tend to run advanced cards a lot more, for fear of you being able to rezz even more expensive bioroid ice, which synergises well with your cerebral overwriters. I'd probably also ditch Alix (good in principle, easy to trash in practice, and requires a dedicated server to defend her), whirlpool (too situational for the combo you want), Tyr's Hand (only works with a combo pretty much), the two shipments (useful in some situations, but you don't look to be running a shell deck, and Kaguya only works with shell decks or decks with advanceable ice), and sadly the two Zed 1.0's. I used to run zed myself, but runners tend to be more cautious with ice that is two deep with HB decks, as they know they cannot necessarily click through all of it anymore, which kinda neuters Zed sadly. I'd keep mandatory upgrades but only if you were running more Grndl refineries.

So I'd probably go -1 Alix, -1 Thomas Haas, -1 Ty's Hand, -2 Shipment from Kaguya, -2 Shipment from Mirrormorph, -2 Zed 1.0, and -1 Whirlpool. Instead of those, +3 Grndl Refinery, +3 Adonis Campaign, +1 Ash, +2 Heimdal 1.0, +1 Heimdall 2.0. Gives you a bit more dependable econ, as some more taxing ice. Grndl's combined with cerebrals are a hellish trap, as the runner either has to run them, or run the risk of you being able to rezz two Janus' back to back, which is not pleasant at all.

Feel free to dispute everything I have said above, as I have a relatively unusual take on HB anyway! :)

So yeah, I'd
