This deck is actually a modification of the original Haarpsichord Doomsday deck published by @Isvan which can be found here http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/24236/haarpsichord-doomsday.
I played this deck a lot, went through some revisions and I can say that the release of Data and Destiny made it even more fun to play and more effective to boot.
This deck heavily revolves around the Haarpsichord ability exploiting the classic Diagnostics combo to screw the runner out of their game plan.
What we're trying to do is dig through the deck as fast as possible until we have Accelerated Diagnostics, Power Shutdown and Jackson Howard in hand. Playing any economy cards and installing some ICE over HQ and R&D to inconvenience them as much as possible. A wise move would be to drop a Data Raven on Archives for later use.
Once the runner makes a run during their turn we can fire off our combo as follows:
Normally you would lose the game next turn, but Haarpsichord Studios ability prevents the runner from picking up all those juicy agendas in your archives. Also, Hades Fragment prevents the other loss condition (the corp loses the game when they are forced to draw a card from an empty R&D) simultaneously giving you the ability to draw any card you want at the beginning of your turn.
Pretty well spent 9 I'd say :)
So what now? The most important thing is you can safely predict how many turns the runner needs to win the game based on the current score. They're pretty much f@#$ed since all (or most) of your agendas are sitting comfortably in one place, only they cannot steal all of them at once.
In an ideal scenario you have Data Raven over Archives and they run there. What can happen is:
Depending on what the situation is you can do a few things:
Being so heavily specialised in our cute little combo leaves quite a lot of ways for the opponent to play around us:
Despite all those hard counters this deck does really well because it can flourish off of creative plays. It does not look it at first glance but there are a lot of things you can do to win besides the combo or despite the runner playing the cards that counter your strategy.
You'll be digging through your deck quite fast so coming up with that single copy of Biotic Labor or Midseason Replacements is actually pretty likely while setting up for the combo.
You'll also be pretty rich between playing Hedge Fund, Sweeps Week and the runner accessing a random Explode-a-palooza you might have tossed into the archives early. Since you don't generally rez a lot of ICE the money can be well spent to stick a bunch of tags on the runner.
All of this means you don't really have to combo for Hades (especially in those harder matchups). You can easily score a 4-point Project Beale for a triple Howard combo instead to close a game. It's surprisingly easy to get those 3 points earlier between Biotic Labor, Psychographics or Quantum Predictive Model arrogantly scored behind a Raven.
Generally speaking now that News Team is out people will be very cautions and likely not run Archives for a while fearing a Scorched Earth which can give you more time to set up. Also, early game people tend to take those negative points even if they know you're not running Scorched because Psychographics is a thing.
Honestly, this deck changes the game radically and I cannot even begin to describe the unusual and funny things that happened during my games with it. I definitely encourage everyone to give it a go.

Damn, I was thinking Employee Strike and typed Traffic Jam. brainfart It's the most evil thing to play against this deck since it basically tosses stuff into Archives since turn 1 :) |
Also you forgot to mention, Runner plays employee strike first click then runs on his/her second click for the win. Making Haarp's ability blank.
