Medical Research Fundraiser is not very good when you have ice that you'll force the runner to interact with, as you're helping them set up. I would try Mental Health Clinic or Marilyn Campaign.

Weir might be cool instead of Enigma because you're forcing them to trash more cards.

I actually think Rover Algorithm would be neat to try on a Neural Katana or Komainu. But that's a total experiment.

Thx alot for the input. The other money cards u mention costs influence, what should i cut for them?

Also wouldnt Mental Health Clinic work against this deck with the runner having bigger hand size?

It depends on what exactly the plan is. If you are into keeping the runner poor, then the medical fundraiser is not what you want to be doing. Mental Health Clinic has its uses, but is overall not what you want to do when you are trying to play for the kill.

I would suggest giving Launch Campaign a look for your money needs. It makes money the first time it flips, and doesn't last long so you can install it in your scoring remote.

Given the collection you have, I would certainly include at least one DNA Tracker. I think you also have access to Project Kusanagi, which means you could run a combination of Tithonium and Archer potentially.

I do not like data loop when you have access to Wall of Thorns. If you are low on influence, you could give Cerebral Cast a look, because both outcomes suit your plan with that scorched earth in there. Your other tag punishment could be a classic Closed Accounts.

Another consideration would be to run Ronin next to those project kusanagis and project junebugs. It's a nice catch 22 on whether they should check your remotes or not.

I'll give building a deck with this collection a try when I have some time.

The theory behind Mental Health Clinic is that you're doing lots of damage to them all the time, so it's hard for them to even have cards in hand up to their max hand size. Also, if you land a Psychic Field, it doesn't matter how many cards they have. But if you're concerned or you try it and don't like it, Launch Campaign is a great idea. Marilyn Campaign would work too; you'd have to drop an Ice Wall and a Data Loop.

Speaking of Data Loop, it is totally amazing in this kind of deck. Every time you do a net damage, they have to to draw up. Running through the Loop makes them spend 2 drawing. Really you're taxing in this deck, with the Neural EMPs or Scorched Earth as punishment if they don't draw up. So I think you should keep in at least 2 Data Loops.

My Changes:

Other slots to play around with are the Sea Source for Cerebral Cast and the Data Mines for Project Kusanagis.

Finally, if you pick up Earth's Scion (an amazing pack for players with a limited card pool), Ben Musashi could immediately go into this deck.
