This is my first deckbuilding attempt.

The basic idea is to make the icebreaker economy neglible by capitalizing on recurring credit cards, making the core of the deck Cyberfeeders, Spinal Modem and Cloaks. The deck focuses on cheap and efficient cards, making setup quick and inexpensive. Kate's ability supports this approach well.

To alleviate the inherent risk of spinal modem this deck is fairly "high link", employing two rabbit holes and a range of borrowed satellites (in addition to the base link). While the latter card is somewhat unpopular, it fits in nicely with the deck since the link helps against traces and the extra hand size is a buffer against brain damage. Also I love the idea of my jacked-in runner uploading to her own private satellite network :D
Given that the deck falls apart if the hardware/software is trashed, sacrificial constructs are included as a second line of defense.

For icebreakers, we want as efficient a set as possible. A single crypsis is included as a backup, until I figure out whether the current suite is sufficient. Special Orders are also included - Special Order is used instead of Self-Modifying since the latter is more expensive, both memory- and credit-wise. Since we are using a lot of Cloaks, it seems safe to include Daggers. Some influence is spent on adding corroders, and given the high link and focus on cheap cards ZU.13 is chosen over Gordian Blade.

Most of the economy is "recurring", including two Sahasraras for the setup and Omni-drives for even more boosting (and help with the memory issues). Since we have high link, Underworld Contacts seems like a good addition to the deck. Sure Gamble and Magnum Opus provide economic backup and Aesop's enables us to get rid of superfluous programs. It might be worth dropping Magnum Opus for something cheaper such as Codebusting so the economy doesn't stall.

In an attempt at making the deck a bit more dangerous, Maker's Eye and Tinkering were added.

With a full setup and with an omni-drived icebreaker the deck would have 9 recurring credits plus the 3 from Underworld Contacts.
