So here's the conceit: I want to play an Omar deck that uses his console and his breakers, and I want to win games with it.
OMAR'S ABILITY
You get to spread the corp's ICE thinner, maybe slow them down early game securing centrals and you get some cheaper centrals accesses. The first two are easy to make the most of in the way you play. We make the most of those cheaper centrals accesses with Nerve Agent and Medium and Obelus (singletons of the viruses because we can search for them with Djinn).
CONSPIRACY BREAKERS
Paperclip and Black Orchestra. Install them from the heap and you save a click. With your ID ability and Magnum Opus, a click goes a long way. They're fuelled by credits so we're going to want to be clicking Magnum Opus often, to build towards repeat runs with our multi-access viruses.
Paperclip has amazing efficiency but Black Orchestra is expensive and awkward (fitting as code gates are supposed to be Anarch's worst ICE matchup). Even a single Datasucker token goes a long way, however, so we'll slot in a couple of those and we'll build them up as we smash central servers.
With no multi-access tools, it's similar value to Desperado. With multi accesses, it's extreme. You build threat fast with those draws. Those cards can be fed to Faust, be played quickly for good value - eg. Stimhack and Dirty Laundry - and just get you set up.
Big draws also let you discard the conspiracy breakers, which is exactly what you want to do.
Only one bonus MU means that we're gonna need some help from Djinn but they're great for fetching stuff too.
The bonus hand size means that you don't care so much about brain damage (like a true Anarch) so Stimhack fits in nicely. It's particularly insane for conspiracy breaker installs.
The benefit from being tagged is nice but not so good that you want to be very tagged all of the time. Like any tag me Anarch, that moment where you go into tag mode should be a conscious decision. In matchups, vs NBN and Weyland, it seems right to make the corp pay for the privilege of you being tagged. And especially in the new BOOM! meta, that extra handsize is going to save lives. Also, neither Vamp nor Joshua B. tag you so much that you can't clear them
You don't need heaps of tags to get value out of Obelus. There's only 4 self tagging cards in here. Vamp and Josh B provide amazing value, especially combined with Magnum Opus.
EVERYTHING ELSE
FUN FACT
With a core set, the big boxes, Blood Money, Escalation and Cyber Exodus you can build most of this deck.

I think -1 Magnum Opus for +1 Temüjin Contract makes sense (plus keeps you at a single core set). Otherwise this is a cool take on Omar. I really like the variety in the threats you can deliver, and Demolition Run is a pet card that I never seem to be able to pull off, but I think will be great out of Omar. |

After some more play made a couple of tweaks: -2 Temüjin Contract -1 Trope, DDoS, Dirty Laundry, Faust +1 Levy AR Lab Access, Forked, Djinn, Same Old Thing +2 Parasite Better consistency and aggression now. The extra Djinn mitigates MU headaches that were sometimes cropping up.

I like the look of this. It seems like it all makes good sense. :) I posted one as well, and while I don't disagree with Djinns, I tried mine out with them a couple days ago and ended up not using them due to making use of my Progenitors. I'm interested in how your build does, since I love Magnum Opus but just sorta overlooked it in my build.
