What is my favorite attribute of Hayley? Being able to draw like mad and still play out sufficient cards so that you do not have to discard parts of your rig! Playing Hayley, specifically the Pawnshop variants, it always ends up feeling like it is all about developing tempo:

Low on credits? no problem, pawnshop and cache have you covered

Building credits for the mid to late game without dumping a bunch of clicks? Tech writer's got your back

Pesky program stuck in your hand that you want to play out on the corps turn? Clone chip in a program and fire Hayley's ability to play that thing

Wanting to leverage the tempo advantage even further I thought about what other cards really provide a tempo boost, and similar to many other Hayley players, modded jumped to the top of the list as an easy include. After playing with modded for a while I found I really loved the added benefit of overdrawing and dumping three cards from hand using modded + Hayley, so why not do that again with econ?

Enter Career Fair...while Career Fair only has 5 real targets in this deck, with the sheer draw power in the deck, it almost always finds a target.

Modded and Career Fair really help to accelerate the setup the deck and Tech writer + Multithreader + Paricia help carry it into the mid to late game.

The build is not too different for other Hayley builds of late, and leverages their excellent construction, but I am digging the focus on tempo building and I hope others do as well.

Let me know what you think!

In terms of money, that two points spent on Career Fair would bring you much more with another two copies of Harbinger. Also, what about Levy AR Lab Access? How do you expect to reset your deck after you draw thru it?

Thanks for the feedback konradh! I have moved back and forth on the Levy include, I think it could still fit in the deck but I don't believe it is an automatic include. The multithreaders and tech writers carry the deck relatively well into the mid to late game but the Levy could really help in a glacier / PE heavy meta.

As far as the career fair over harbinger decision, I don't find myself really struggling for money (especially if Levy goes back in) so I think the tempo benefit may be stronger than the absolute credit benefit. That is just my opinion after initial testing though. I am really trying to push the tempo benefit that Hayley's ability can generate.

One thing I am still trying to work out is the tech writer over armitage, I think it is the right decision but I should probably evaluate the probably of drawing tech writers early enough to justify econ advantage over armitage.

Tech Writers are much better in Chameleon decks, your is much more "Big Rig", so they are not so essential. Armitage is something you can always click for whole turn and then sell with Aesop for additional burst, be it early or late game. Writers need to come early.
