This deck is the hotness. Similar to all other tech writer+cache decks, this one goes all in on it, with Aesop's.
I had 2 Diesel 2 QT and it was fine, but 3 QT, which you can easily afford, lets you find what you need, and lets you get going. Using Rara and Hera you can install 2 chameleons for 1 click and for free. If you need only 1, you can drop a cache or harbinger and get 6+ clickless credits out of them (okay 1 click). Tech writer never gives less than 10, and I've had upwards of 30 on it.
Personal workshop, clone chip and SMC all enable triggers on the corp's turn, which means more Tech Writer credits, more board development, and more click compression. Chameleon doesn't return to your hand until the end of YOUR turn.
Keep an eye on your harbinger though, if you aesops it, you don't get your Hayley trigger that turn. Also keep one around for shutdown in matches where it's like to be run., as hera typically holds everything.
Chameleon is your scorch protection, so SMC out the third one on the turn before the kill shot, the bounce, with 5 cards, puts you at 8 cards. You can't afford to be tagged so duck tags as much as possible.

Chameleon is pretty decent Scorch protection, although it's often worth the Corp Scorching you anyway to get those pesky critters out of your hand. |

Crescentus is for tollbooth mostly, but also helps in the BS matchup since you can't readily stop the OAI+CW combo. Paricia is a great add, and might be better than the replicator, but could also become the free slot after a change I'm considering, which is -1 crescentus -1 harbinger (3 is too many) +1 parasite (or a few other 2 Inf pieces I've been looking at). Though I think that 1x plascrete can take the early pressure off against like a supermodernism style deck.

Two Chameleons are completly fine in my Kate deck, with so many programs they will just clog your hand. I would switch third for second copy of Personal Workshop, because you want to find it fast for this combo to work. |

Yeah I've found 3 harbinger is too many, I would drop 1 and Crescentus for a single legwork since you have no HQ multi access. With this kind of Hayley deck that can contest remotes very easily, if you cook the legwork carefully for the right amount of time it very often bags you 4-5 points. |

The 1 legwork has been incredibly effective in my games due to the surprise element. As soon as the RDI hits the table (or as soon as the corp sees a shaper) rnd gets super iced and generally gets the Crisium Grid. You're right that SOT helps make the most out of it but it also severely hinders the surprise and the corp is simply not going to hold on to their good agendas, besides it is very hard to get more than 1 good legwork. At the end of the day just my preference but I thought I'd defend my stance on it :) Something else I love in Hayley pawnshop is imp, since you're making a profit on it, and in this meta you can imp the scorched earth and agendas you don't want to steal to avoid the Midseasons (very good against harpsichord) |

I wonder if we can get two birds stoned at once and go -1 crescentus -1 harbinger +2 scrubber....scrubber is hot now too. imgflip.com |

Yeah sorry that was following on from the shaper comment, because of indexing and maker's eye |

Currently trying this with: +1 Plascrete +2 Scrubber -1 Crescentus -1 Harbinger based on comments made here and over on the Novelist decklist. I love Hayley so much, I'm always keen to try a good build. I don't find the triggers too taxing. Automatic stuff and Hayley shenanigans are old hat for me...I've been playing her obsessively for almost a year and a half, off and on. |

That is exactly the current iteration I run, but I actually put in 2 plascretes because 24/7 scorch is fast and replicator helps thin the deck, so I have no problem being a bit over 46. I also have an iteration with levy and no Armitage |

Hmmmm I have felt a desire for Levy once the Harbingers and TWs are gone. It's more fun than sliced stupid people on toast though so I think I found my jam. =) |
I would drop 1 Scheherazade, 1 Chameleon . Memory must be an issue with so many things out. I would replace them with Street Peddler. No Plascrete makes me think that you leave in a wonderful world, where no one plays Scorched Earth. Also I don't think Crescentus belongs to this list, I would rather use Paricia to deal with assets.
I am sorry, I suggested many changes to this deck and am not sure that I counted all influence correctly, though.
