Built this deck recently to try and fight the Andy only club around the tournament scene. Mostly abuses Self-modifying Code and Clone Chip to grab anything out of the deck I need at all times. Favorite combo is Djinn, Sneakdoor Beta and Nerve Agent to really get the Corp focusing on no protecting archives even though, no matter what they protect I'll have something in my deck to break through. Levy AR Lab Access is in here for the long games and I've used up all my recursion or search. Any thoughts or ideas to improve would greatly appreciate it.

A couple of really weird choices in here.

Eden Shard is a worthy, but perhaps unconventional include for the influence spread. Not my first choice, but how has it been treating you?

2 Levy seems like 1 too many. I have 1 copy in my own Professor deck and I find myself playing it about a quarter of the time. Your Card draw is stronger than mine, but your economy is also less robust.

No Scavenge? That card is nuts in Professor to turn your Imps, Davids or Dogs back online. I would cut 1 copy of Test run and find two other deck slots for them. They are worth it every game.

Breakers are pretty standard. I would cut Snowball and slap in Lady. Its just better pretty much every time. I might also cut Escher for an extra slot. Snitch also seems like it could be almost any other useful program.

I really appreciate the feedback, especially about the Levy and test runs. I like the snitch just because it can let me know right then in I can afford breaking the ice and testing the waters.

You said my economy was less robust, what do you suggest to make it healthier. Maybe take the out the shard for another cache to fill my slot for influence. or maybe put in a Professional Contacts?

The test runs I thought were good because they can act as recursion if I need it back out of my heap and scavenge forces me to trash when I can trash to asops to gain money.

I haven't tried running lady yet but I will definitely give it a shot.

Test run is great with D4v1d and Femme as well as the dogs.

Test Run + Scavenge is great because you can make a test ran program periment (scavenge and target itself) along with do things like reload d4v1d, Imp and your dog breaker of choice. It also lets you discard a piece of your rig that is now less effective and install something that is more effective.

I typically run Scavenge less as an econ card and more of a card to leverage powerful, but temporary programs. Great targets for this (aside from the ones mentioned above) include cards like Sneakdoor after they have sealed up archives, getting another use out of parasite or even reloading a cache if you absolutely need it.

Scavenge is totally clinch in most shaper builds today and I run it right alongside Aesop's in my build. But I also typically run Scherezade and Sahashrara to smooth out my curve and make it so almost all of my programs are "free" to install.

Cerberus "Lady" H1 seems like an obvious include. Not sure why you are running Snowball.

Also, I would try to include Crescentus or even Copycat. The former because de-rezzing is so powerful. The latter because nobody expects it.
