That's a spicy meat Beale

I wanted to create a deck that focuses on overloading the runner with tags so you can Psychographics on to a Project Beale to win. To keep your options open there is a little room in the deck for a kill shot or at the very least the ability to keep their grip and credit pool low for you to score 7 points the slow way.

Any feedback is welcome, this is my first from-scratch deck.

I'd swap the Eden Fragment for maybe a Global Food Initiative. You won't be building big towers of ICE, I would imagine. Plus, if you lose it, you'll only hand over 2 points instead of 3 - more room for your Psycho-Beale play

Have you testplayed it? The economy looks a little light on paper. Except if you're relying on the runner stealing you Explode-a-paloozas.

How important is Surveillance Sweep for you? You don't rely on traces during a run that much. The combo with Information Overload is great, but it's only a 1-of. Your only other target is the from Data Raven, which tends to not fire. A runner surprised by Data Raven will most likely choose the ETR option on encounter. And a prepared runner will make sure you don't get the token, because Data Raven tokens are scary.

Other than that, the deck looks pretty solid for a first try :)
The multiple win condition with Psyho, Scorch or Astrotrain is solid.

Surveillance Sweep makes Troll much better, and gives the subroutine on Dracō some teeth. Assassin also gets a boost, but its high traces were already pretty strong.

As a 1-off, I don't like Surveillance Sweep very much, I think Targeted Marketing or Predictive Algorithm are better currents that you may only see once over the course of a game.
