Kate "I obviously prefer to be called Mac" McCaffrey

Those are some kick-ass decoders, but I worry about your solutions for barriers and sentries. Darwin fills some gaps, but he's brutally expensive even for little ice. I guess Dinosaurus helps amp your breakers as needed. Given that you've influence to spare -1 Snowball +1 Corroder seems like a no-brainer. Pro Shapers run Lady these days, but she needs a bit of extra support (All the clone chips, scavenge).

Femme is amazing, but not as a Killer. I'd strongly advocate another sentry solution alongside it. Mimic and Sharpshooter are both popular for their respective jobs. Kate often uses Atman if she has to worry about big sentries. Whatever you decide, you should be confident that you can break Archer if needs be - with Femme it costs 8 just to get to strength, which is a bad day if you have to do it.

Femme Fatale on Dinosaurus - job done ;)

do you just concede if your opponent rez a big sentry like Archer or Susanoo-No-Mikoto? if femme isnt bypasssing them you are not getting through with that rig any time ever... Also day job seems strictly worse than Lucky Find since you have influence left over, just as the comment about snowbal vs Corroder applies. Singleton proco seems unlikely to be installed at an early enough timing to matter. Consider switching armitage for Daily Casts to free up some clicks to really cash in on that proco if you do end up increasing the count. otherwise consider Symmetrical Visage

With this much influence to spare, D4v1d also seems like a strong option. He's generally strong, even stronger in Shaper and an excellent complement to Darwin (although I'm unconvinced Darwin is worth it out of faction). He's pretty much a one card answer to all your 'big barriers and sentries' issues.

The tools that improve D4vid are the same as the ones that help Lady. For that matter, you could say the same of Femme and Cyber-Cypher. Shapers are good at 'get the thing, play the thing, play the thing again'

-1 Darwin -1 Professional Contacts -1 Cyber-Cypher

+1 Atman +1 D4v1d +1 Symmetrical Visage (Sadly I have Daily Casts and Corroder in another deck.) Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Cool. I second the comment about Lucky Find. It's made of amazing. I do worry that further advice/tweaking will iteratively turn your deck into the Prepaid Kate archetype, which is depressingly hard to avoid when you try to optimise any Shaper. You should check it out though, it's distressingly good.
