Get Replicator and/or Professional Contacts out as early as possible. Sell anything and everything you can to Aesop's Pawnshop for economy boosts. Will struggle against Weylands giant barriers. Use Switchblade and Tinkering to get through them. If they notice you're dependent on stealth credits use Escher to show them who's boss. There's a risk of getting stuck without Self-modifying Code/Tinkering, but the draw power of Replicator and Professional Contacts should get around that issue.

nice deck, how you think of swapping mac with hayley kaplan?

I should tell you that I've made a small change to improve (or so I'd like to tell myself) this deck.

This also brings the deck down to 45 cards, which was something I've been aiming for, for a while...

Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar seems to be fucking OSSUM! Do you have any knowledge on how she interacts with Replicator? May I use her bonus install with the copy that Replicator gives me? Another issue might be the economy part as I now longer can get Easy Marks willy nilly, but I won't know that for sure until I try her out. Great advice, anyway. And thank you for looking at my deck :)

have you been play testing this deck already in tournaments ? what are the weaknesses and the strengths? why did you take out 3 ghostrunners?

about hayley: My understanding is that you can choose the order in which action to solve first. So you choose replicators effect first, getting a copie of the newly installed piece, than hayley's effect triggers and you install another piece of hardware from your grip. I might be wrong about it, but makes sense to me. here is my newly built deck around this effect: netrunnerdb.com

Yes I have been using this for tournaments. It has big problems when it's up against Blue Sun. I saw your linked deck and I'm pretty sure you are going to have that as well. If I could find the influences I would put D4v1d in it. Medium is only 3 inf but I can't use SMC to find an R&D Interface.

Against Replicating Perfection it does really well, as long as you have credits enough to steal NAPD Contract.

If NBN isn't too lucky (scoring AstroScript on turn 2) this deck should dominate.

You can defeat big barriers, though. Tinkering + Switchblade is how you break a Curtain Wall.

One of the coolest plays I've done with this deck was when my opponent had 2 copies of Heimdall 2.0 in front of HQ and I was pretty sure he was hogging agendas in there. So I play Deus X (I have a Clone Chip installed) and he's like "whatever, you'll only get one access". Then I play Escher, bitchslap both his norse gods in their ugly faces and install Nerve Agent mid-run to get some extra goodies out of the successful run.

And regarding Nerve Agent, it's easily thr best card two influences can buy. You just have to know to not run too much. Get it loaded with 2 counters. Then you wait a couple of turns. When they think they're safe, you run twice in one turn and access 3 + 4 cards. It's always worth clearing viruses when Nerve Agent has very few counters, yet nobody does :)
