Criminal Cash... They roll in it, but what to do with it? Why, turn all the ICE off, of course!
Rubicon Switch and Inversificator join forces to go to Bloo Moose, and say SCREW CANADA, taking all the poor Moose's money.
Oh, and on the way past, they destroy some ICE too.
Most of the deck is basically just Criminal Good Stuff, which is fine. Leave No Trace gives you early pressure without leaving ICE rezzed behind you (combos with En Passant), Emergency Shutdown exists to turn off any one ICE later in the game. Employee Strike is just Really Good against specific decks.
Saker is here because of Chiyashi primarily. Turns out that when you spend 11 credits to break it, it's better to pay 6 to de-rez it, than use Rubicon and pay 12. (Bounce+Reinstall Saker vs Rubicon) Mostly I needed to drop some influence to fit En Passant, and Paperclip was the best thing to drop, because you need Medium for R&D pressure.
The deck plays out like a Gabe deck, pressuring every server. Temujin pressures Archives, and with Aeneas punishes open Remotes. Medium pressures R&D, and Account Siphon existing as a card pressures HQ. HQ is actually where you do the least work, as all you get is Shutdown and Siphon from HQ. But they don't know that!
Inversificator allows you to shift code gates around to make things easier. Fairchild 3.0 is still a pain, but at least you can put it onto the least important server now. (That'd be HQ.)

Hmmm no multi access for R&D runs? Have you considered The Turning Wheelseems obvious it synergizes with Leave No Trace and incites corp to rez |

After having my Inversificator trashed two times and since Hortum is a thing, I chose to replace the Medium with a The Turning Wheel and add a Rip Deal and cut the Emergency Shutdown |
Your inversificator is a gordian blade fyi. Do you find Bloo Moose is so crucial as to warrant a 3x? I guess you can always just moose your extra copies.
