Remarks :

Will later be improved with Plascrete Carapace rather than Crash Space when I get it (however Crash Space is still useful to remove tags, from Siphon for instance)

Lots of money to run a "classic" breakers suite, however here I want to try out cloak + dagger to see how it goes.

Also some R&D potential with Indexing + R&D interface, it's possible that having both is redundant.

Draw is done exclusively with Professionals Contacts, it can be interesting to change that to a event based draw, since the deck has a bunch of money already.

Finally, a netshield is around to help with the annoying Jinteki players I face sometimes, as Hosukai Grid + the base Identity gets aggravating.

Feedback after play :

While a bit slow at first, the deck plays very well and is capable of going through almost any defense the corp could put through. The mid game is very easy when you have 2 Cloaks and a Dagger out, since no Sentry can harm you. However, stacking of sentry on a key server (such as R&D) can be problematic. ICE such as Archer or Flare gave me some issues, as one increase of strength is not enough to break their 6 strength.

There would be two solutions : Either get personal touch on Dagger (only helps in that case), or add an Ice Carver to the deck which will reduce costs overall in addition for other breakers.

Also the 2x Same Old Things might not seems as useful, until you run Account Siphoning once every turn for 3 turns, with 2x crash space for a maximum credit profit (gives me an excuse for not using plascrete which I don't have yet.).

Indexing and R&D Interface might seem redundant but it's spacing their use is pretty efficient : You can pick up multiple agendas in the second run following indexing, or you can do a normal run and wait until the corp is at their new cards to have a fresh indexing use with 5 new cards.

Net shield and Deus X are situational but practical against Jinteki (NetShield) and a Snare at the wrong time (Deus X), they both saw some use.

Omni Drive helps having all the programs out at the same time while keeping more money on the long run since you will be running and breaking stuff every turn.
