Just some constructive criticism:

you can't install both doppelganger and desperado, and unless you're playing something extra to leverage it, such as powerturn cards (Notoriety) or things like Security Testing or Medium runs, you won't really get the most out of this click compression... The supplier is a good card, but you only really benefit from it for the consoles and temujin, aaron and scrubber. Desperado and temujin are cards you often want on the board to start using them immediately, otherwise the corp can react to it. So you would only install them mid-late game when there's ICE anyway, and untill then you're supplier is doing almost nothing.

So I'd say drop the suppliers and doppelgangers (unless you do want to include cards for doppelganger). Since you're running 3 special orders and 2 of each important breaker, just drop a ninja as well, which makes room for Femme Fatale, helping you with annoying, taxing or cheese ICE. Then add maybe 2x Security Testing which helps extra against asset spam and other unprotected servers or 2x inside job, leveraging your id ability. And you'd be at 45 cards :)

@SoulcowThanks for the suggestions, im still very new to the game - less than a month - i put in the doppelgangers as i was trying to figure out what to put instead, im not overly happy with the card so have been toying with taking it out

I did have Femme Fatale in a previous version but it was probably me not using her right and just got put off using her (in part the cost)

again, many thanks for the help

No problem. I'm also relatively new - playing for half a year now, and I've played Ken for a while, though I'm far from perfect ^^

I don't use Femme Fatale often either, but I know that some players sometimes cheese behind a single Mother Goddess or Excalibur, and if you plan on running often through Tollbooth you also might want to get femme out to bypass those pieces of ICE. Femme is expensive, but you only need to get her out to bypass annoying ICE :) and if you can run a couple times with temujin, desperado, dirty laundry, you'll be up and running (a) in no time.
