My first try with Reina Roja. The idea is to keep running with Keyhole (trashing Snare and/or economy) to pump Medium, then get R&D shuffled and take some last runs with Medium. I hope Djinn+Grimoire+Dyson to be enough for MU, but I'm not completely sure. Knight is mainly for early-game, so I don't think I will have MU trouble because of it. I didn't expect to spend so little Influence, but I don't know whether to try a more efficient rig with out-of-faction breaker or something else. Actually, I have a lot of doubts and I really hope someone to help me a little.

Heyhey. IMHO, you don't need to worry so much about memory. You actually don't need the dysons if you've got 3 grimoires, maths are on your side to pick it up almost 100% of the times. Why SMC? WIth no parasucker, you don't need to have a fast round to fire to blast off some painful ICE, it's like having an unloaded gun this way. I always like a 3* Armitage Codebusting: once they told me that Kati is there to make you sure that things flow nice and smooth, but you need to have something quicker and cheaper. Liberated Account doesn't fall in this cathegory, so I'd use the SMC slot for the third armitage. 3 influences allow you to buy in that cheaper, more cost-efficient rig you desperately want: 3 knights are just a sore ass, IMHO, to be used on the veeeery few strong EG ICE. Or, you can splash in an Account Siphon, or some Special Orders from the Knight slots. Also, 3*Djinn is a cool tutor, but then you don't need 3 suckers, and don't need 2 mediums. I'd go for -1 medium +1 Nerve Agent: with Emergency Shutdown, you want to be able to capitalize that run as much as you can, and you can always tutor it in response to the game.

Hey. Well, SMC is there as the third copy of Keyhole, I need it as soon as possibile and SMC can be used for other programs if I draw Keyhole first. About Armitage you are probably right, and I will take it to 3x. Knight isn't there as breaker actually, but as an early-game variant of Parasite. I install it, use it once or twice, then host is trashed directly by Corp. That's why I say I don't think it would use MU. Nerve Agent is a good tip, but again I'm not sure about remove 1 Medium, it's half of my Winning combo and I would like to run 2 of them at full rig.

Actually I would like a Nerve Agent too, but I think more about -1 Datasucker than -1 Medium.

7 credits to avoid using parasite seems a bit too much... and using knight once or twice is already 4 to 8 credits, which makes up for an AWFUL 11 to 15 credits... and if it doesn't get trashed, you might even be tempted to keep using it. I'd ditch it completely if I were you. Ok, SMC seen from this point of view is fair, but one does not quite change the situation. Yep, I forgot to write about removing dem sucker, I'd have thought it this way too. Actually, how do you win with keyhole and medium? They don't work together, you actually don't need them that badly, IMHO. Of course, dedecking with a demo run with 2 shitloaded mediums is a dream I could jerk off to, but this is not quite happening that often

I has thought as you about Medium and Keyhole until today evening. Then I realised that when I run with Keyhole: 1)I pump viruses on Medium 2)I get R&D shuffled. So I can run with Medium, see 4/5 cards, then run with Keyhole and then again with Medium, eventually seeing 10-14 cards with 3 run. And this is not so unlikely as dedecking Corp with Demolition Run. About Parasite and Knight probably you are right, I wanted to try Caissa in someway, but this is a bad way.
