Testing a similar deck and can confirm that technical writer is the real deal in Hayley. Consistently able to have 10+ on each TW before cashing out. A not uncommon mid-game click is -- install cache + harbinger for a single click on Scheherazade for immediate boost of 4 credits followed by 9 credits over 3 turns from Aesop's and 2 extra credits on 2 technical writers building. 15 net credits for 1 click feels amazing. It's 4 card setup (2 tw, aesop's, scherazade) but they'll all individually good and cost a grand total of 1 credit to install all.

Other than doing some Hayley-Harbinger ra-ra, my main feedback on your list is that I think the 3rd harbinger would be better than 3rd cache given it can net more money overall, can be installed from zero and takes up no memory. Also, I think Zu is better than Gordian with Hayley due to cheaper install cost but that's just personal taste.

Thanks for the comments :) @sruman yeah that pretty much sums up the dream turn, as well as installing the double rdi in one click and taking money off a writer. I actually started out with 3 harbingers and found that they just took too long to make money off, especially if I have caches/imp/daily casts on the board that get Aesop's priority. Sometimes I ended the game with some still installed if I didn't draw them early enough. I like the burst of cache, if I need a program from my hand during a run I will often SMC or clone chip out a cache on Scheherazade for some extra money and get the Hayley trigger for ultimate Shaper bullshit! As for zu.13 vs Gordian I think both are perfectly legit, my personal preference is Gordian because it helps achieve my main win condition of RnD lock, but yeah zu.13 is definitely a lot nicer to install.

Yo Yo shmeguy. I'm thinking about trying your deck. Maybe for worlds... How do you think it fares against NEH FA?

Hey Yoda :) It fares decently because you have tools like clot as well as imp for san sans and dbs, and legwork when they're getting ready to FA. You might want to try slot in cy-cy for tollbooth, and Paricia is the 46th card I can't fit but it helps the asset trashing vs NEH. Good luck at worlds dude!
