Concept
Like Null, it's not always easy to see what Omar's plan is going to be at the beginning of the game. This deck uses that confusion to its advantage by offering win conditions for both HQ and R&D. Bait them into covering one central, then switch to the other.
Mulligan
Early Game
This is the trickiest part because you need to know when to start taking tags. Ideally, you don't run your first Account Siphon until you have both Obelus and one of the big draw cards in hand. That way you can end the turn tagged with a hand of seven cards to avoid BOOM! Spending a turn on Day Job is not the end of the world unless all servers are getting ICEd. You will need to have some kind of a cushion to install Obelus.
Mid Game
End Game - Medium
This is the most common end game because of Omar's ID ability. Once you have a clear path through R&D, you can drop one or more Mediums, take some brain damage, and run roughshod into R&D. If your grip is big enough, you should be able to fend of any nasty agendas, and if you've done a good enough job detroying their economy, even Snares won't stop you.
It's helpful to have some money to trash cards as you dig, and don't forget that Obelus is amazing at replenishing your hand the first time you hit HQ/R&D. The more Medium counters, the more cards you'll score.
However, if they've got a lock on R&D and HQ, you can use Omar's ability (once per turn) to add virus counters to Medium. This is not ideal, but with Faust and a huge grip, they may get scared and purge virus counters, giving you time to destroy some more ICE.
End Game - Fear the Masses
Granted, this doesn't happen very frequently, but if the corp has committed to covering R&D and Archives, you can get pretty nasty with Fear The Masses, leveraging Same Old Thing and Déjà Vu to get as many 4-6-card mills as possible.
"Well That's Just Janky"
Perhaps, but this is just something people say when you Amp Up three times and your hand size is still in the double digits. Trope is not the greatest piece of recursion, but most games don't take that long. Just try to find it if you're going up against Jinteki IDs like Potential Unleashed or Personal Evolution.
