This here is my take on the Snitch & Au Revoir combo that has been brought up by others. Essentially once you have both installed, prefferably as early as possible, you can spend a click to look at a piece of ice and gain a credit (2 or 3 with more copies of Au Revoir).

Initially I built this with Sihlouette to double down on expose effects, but actually I think Leela's ability becomes a lot stronger when you know what ice you want to be bouncing. Plus I've been having a lot of fun with Leela lately.

Djinn is in here to host the Snitch and Au Revoir(s). Being able to tutor out a cache is handy bonus if you really need credits, but I don't see that happening often.

My events are mostly aimed at a denial strategy to drag out the early game. Bribery and Forged become a lot stronger when you know what the ice is.

The overall strategy here is keep the early game going, picking up accesses here and there while you build a rig and credits. At some point you're going to want to switch over to aggressive running, which is where Aesops comes in. Selling off bank jobs, caches, daily casts even aurevoir and snitch when you can't or won't use them anymore.

The lack of Account Siphon or multi access might be a problem here. I'd welcome any thoughts about what might be dropped to make space.

It looks very rich, which is never a bad thing. I would try taking a couple of Daily Casts or Bank Job out for Legworks or HQ Interfaces.

FAO definitely seems counter to Leela's approach, so that would make some room. I would probably run just 2 bank jobs as well.

That would give you 3 slots to play with. I was going to suggest dropping Bribery, but given that you're peeking at ice so often I think that's a great card for you. FAO could be a great card too, but I think fairly situational vs playing some multi-access. It seems like HQ interface might be the better choice between it, and legwork, given the Doppel.
