Stealth Hayley

Pretty much self explanatory. P.W. and SMC let me install duting paid ability windows on either players turn which lets me bank clicks to use after I get some economy or a Stimhack. Box-E counteracts the stimhack damage. Enough draw power to get the rig up and going by turn 3 or 4.

From extensive personal testing with a lot of stealth builds, using both refractor and switchblade will put an immense strain on your stealth credits, so trying to find influence for a silencer or two would probably help you out.

Also, 3 copies of akamatsu mem chip is pretty overkill, especially with Box-E. I would either drop it to 2 copies, or just remove them entirely, as an entire stealth rig can be easily managed on 5-6 MU, and you will probably have Box-E out most of the time with your draw power.

Another choice which could be reconsidered is modded, as most of your stuff is already cheap, so modding won't really help.

Moreover, stimhack is always a bit anti-synergistic with stealth builds as you you can only use them to pump your fracter. While this may be helpful in certain cases, 3x just seems like overkill again, and it is rather unreliable economy

Lastly, building on the previous point, the deck's economy does seem a bit shaky, with only Lucky Finds, Sure Gamble, and sometimes StimHack. Stealth builds are a bit slower than their prepaid cousins, so consider something long term such as ProCo (not really necessary with your draw power) or kati jones (highly recommended as it provides sustainable economy, and boosts your matchup against anything glacier-like).

Criticism aside, I do enjoy the idea of using PW and SMC mid run to suddenly build your rig in the blink of the eye, and ti definitely seems like a neat and powerful concept. This will definitely warrant some testing once Breaker Bay comes out.

Stimhack can also be used to pay for a loaded up P.W. which is the main reason they're in there. I buy something off P.W. with the stimhack credits and I can install something from hand too using the leftovers. Stimhack rarely went to an Icebreaker and if at all. I found during testing today against a Jinteki PE that my stealth credits lasted throughout the turn against a three deep server with wall of thorns, Komainu, and a neural katana And then be able to attack a remote. Lockpick is for refractor, cloak is pretty much exclusively for switchblade, and ghostrunner makes up any extra credits needed. I'm hesitant to put in Kati Jones because like you said, stealth decks are slower to get rolling and I don't want to earmark a click every turn for Kati. With my draw power i am pretty much guaranteed to see my econ and I can host card on P.W. if its hiding at the bottom of my deck. Might take out the Moddeds for clone chips though to get some more targets for the stimhack combos. Thanks for the feedback though! I need to keep playing to see if I really need more economy or not.

Modded is insane with Hayley. It lets you convert an event play to a program or hardware play and save potentially 3 credits. It should be in just about every Hayley deck.

With the amount of you have you might consider Sahasrara as well.
