Kind of lacking in the multi-access department, is it not?

I agree with @mabool in that you could use some R&D Interfaces in here at the very least, maybe cutting the Feedback Filters for them. I've personally found that Feedback Filters are more expensive than they're worth in the long haul.

It definitely is lacking in the multi-access department, which is partially what took me to the more recent iteration running out of Mac (which for some reason isn't linking back to this deck): (HIMYOC - Kate Variant)[netrunnerdb.com

I like this as an Exile deck (and worry that Kate is the bane of Exile by just making most builds better with an identity swap :-/) but I've started to move away from Street Chess in my own decks. There are too many dependencies for reliable pressure, and against the top tier decks it feels like it is too slow to get set up.

Creeper is a great choice for a backup killer to deal with Swordsman (without Parasite + Datasucker) which will wreck the Overmind /Knight builds. I hit one the other day and it was a rude setback, no SMC down to fetch Sharpshooter / Deus X. Do you tend to try to install preemptively, or grab it on the fly if you hit something your AIs can't deal with?

Does the economy hold up against big ice like HB can throw down? I found that tough with my version of this design.

I'm branching off to a hopefully more efficient breaking suite design, have a look at By Hook or by crook if you like and please feel free to make suggestions. It's getting there, but seems to run out of steam mid/late-game, mostly on the economic front.
