Hello welcome to the game!

What format are you building the deck for? Noise is not legal in the standard format anymore.

First of all it seems the deck is lacking focus, I dont see a theme or a goal for what the deck is trying to do.

For example the 10 icebreakers are simply too many for this deck, 11 if d4vid is counted. Chose the breakers that are core to your strategy and play maybe 2 of each to draw them with some consistency. If you choose to go with an AI breaker then pick one, either darwin or god of war and go all in trying to create synergy with that particular breaker, for example if you play god of war you will want to play cards like "mars for martians" that syngergize with being tagged as well as cards that mitigate the downsides of beeing tagged. D4vid is kind of a generally good card so if you feel it fits that can be kept regardless. Force of nature is simply bad, way too expensive and with a low base strength, dont play it.

Another problem is memory, all of the programs you want to have in play simply dont fit on the table all at the same time, with obelus your max memory is 5 and with some breakers annd viruses in play you will later in the game find yourself short on memory.

Also I think there is a great lack of money in this deck. Liberated account and sure gamble are great economy cards, but they cant be the only economy cards. Especially when you are playing a lot of expensive programs.

Instead of injection attack I would recommend Ice carver, it basically gives a permanent buff for the icebreakers that cannot increase their strength.

I dont like inject in this build as it risks trashing important breakers, if you dont get your breakers up in time the corp will just rush out their agendas. I understand that levy can get the breakers back, but it will simply take too much time. If you want to play inject I would recommend playing the conspiracy breakers that can be installed from your heap instead, usually two of each. Other good options for drawing cards is I´ve had worse and earthrise hotel.

Human first can be really good but depends too much on when you draw it, and having two creates the risk of a dead draw, If you really want it play one, but I dont recommend it.

2 levy seem like total overkill, you will almost never have time to draw through your entire deck twice with this build. Play 1 if you want it.

3 Same old thing is overkill, I assume it is there to get your levy back if it gets discarded, in that case 1 should be enough if you play it as soon as you draw it.

Virus breeding ground, hivemind and incubator are all basically meaningless without medium or nerve agent in the deck. Both of those can unfortunately not be used in the standard format, but then again neither can Noise. Virus breeding ground and incubator could be nice with imp but I think you will find the usefulness to be way too niche.

If you are interested in advice on noise in particular here is a link to an old noise deck that I had some success with and with explanation of some of the card choices and the strategy: netrunnerdb.com

I hope that was helpful, and feel free to ask questions. I can give more specific tips on card choices when I know more about what kind of deck you want to play, and what format.

Also what expansions do you have access to? Easier to give advice then,

Oh and of course in the updated build you will want to use all of your influence, there are lots of great cards to import from other factions.
