I love playing never advance, and with Early Premiere you can play never advance with 4/2s. This is a super taxing setup and the key is knowing when to go horizontal. Manhunt is the MVP, you want it out as soon as possible (although against high link runners Housekeeping can slow them down until you get a Primary Transmission Dish on the table). The aim is to keep the runner just annoyed enough by manhunt's traces they start relenting and clearing the tag after the run, or decide to go full tag-me (Mental Health Clinic is not only great drip economy but it works here to convince the runner you aren't playing for the flatline). That's when you go horizontal, and suddenly they have to make all sorts of difficult decisions. Pachinko suddenly becomes very taxing, and can usually keep an NAPD Contract safe on its own, Quantum Predictive Model can be left anywhere the runner will almost certainly access it. Franchise City just closes off the deal.

Snappier deck title proposal: "Infotainment"

I was just trying to build Sol with Housekeeping, but I love the inclusion of Early Premier. Do you think The All-Seeing I warrants an include? The super light economy is also interesting. Has it been holding up well?

@slobad31 To be honest Housekeeping was a late tech because the only deck I've been trounced by so far was Sunny, all my other losses have been agenda flood or me not actually reading my opponent's board state and making stupid mistakes. All seeing I feels like a nice include, instead of Keegan I would reckon as that's my only real non-essential, or maybe go down to 2 PTD. I've never felt poor running this deck, but I tend to play credit poor decks in general and the taxing end the runs on Pachinko and News Hound are great to spring on a runner who thinks you haven't got enough cash to rez and still score next turn. Also an early Explode-a-Palooza steal helps you a lot.
