Please explain your use of Blackguard. Otherwise, I advise against it.

This is sort of a silly concept deck for killing ICE. Blackguard + lots of exposing = either draining Corp coffers or, more likely, getting some ICE off of servers. It's also a way to poke around for agendas or traps in remote servers: the corp have to rez/trash an asset, but can't rez an agenda (ruling is unclear).

I know Blackguard is expensive an hard to tutor for, but the idea is to use Logos + Stirling's identity to get the card in hand and get the credits to drop it early/midgame and get to work. I haven't run and tuned the deck yet, but that's the idea anyway.

I think you forget a simple rule. Once you installed a console you can remove them.

Yes for this to work on a temporary basis you would need either the Aesop's / Trade-in (that's not out yet) to get rid of your console. I think you'd be better of going for 3 blackguards and using central breakers with some parasite recursion and maybe even kraken and forged activation.

Am not entily sure that'll work mind but it seems like the way to go with this idea.

Yup. And the ruling regarding Blackguard and agendas is very clear: firstly, you must force an expose, which means the corp shows you the card. Agendas can not be rezzed, so they put it back face-down. And @burzum51 meant to say that you CAN'T remove consoles, which is what @Pinkwarriorthen explains.
