This deck is brutal and fun to play. The core concept is simple: Destroy all Code Gate breakers. I've won about 12 of my last 13 with this deck including going undefeated at store tournament.
Folks might see the Grim / Marcus Batty combo coming, but they won't expect Will-o'-the-Wisp too.
Nothing feels quite as good as scoring out a Vanity Project behind a Quandary.
Plenty of cash because you have cheap ice. Just put out your code gates then double up with Grims or Lycan. Once they don't have their Code Gate breakers, score at your leisure.
Deck density is ridiculously low so R&D digs aren't too bad early on.
Your enemies here are heavy ice destruction decks (hence the Cyberdex Virus Suite and shapers who use a lot of Test Run, SMC and Clone Chip shenanigans. But that just requires that you watch more carefully for scoring windows.

I actually first built this in Jinteki, but I found that I liked the trickling economy from HB:ETF and Turing. I always felt just a credit or two short doing this in Jinteki. |

@Whirrun - Not much, but when I do, it's big. It only gets used every few games, but it has saved me from Drive By and Inside Job. I've also used it as a lure to get a runner to face plant into my Grim/Batty combo. |

What about swapping lycan for assasin to fit in two Global Fodd Int. once D&D drops? Or has Lycan been any good? |

Why are you running Lycan at 2 influence, when you have Sagittarius in faction? Even Ichi 1.0 and Batty may be better? Also, if shaper/anarch recursion is a problem, Blacklist? Helps you to achieve true lockout. |

I like the blacklist idea though - I may try that out. I'll let you know how it goes! Cheers |

Sagittarius is a trace, yes, but you don't have to win the trace to trash a program :) |
Why not just play it in Jinteki... the place with all the best Code Gates?
