You could trim a little fat off the deck (I would cut 1 desperado and 2 john's) and then put in 3 diesels, that will get you a bit more influence and will actually increase your chances of hitting your first desperado.

3 RDI and 3 maker's eye is a little excessive (IMO), if you really plan to set up an R&D lock, I would run indexing instead of maker's eye, it gives you some early game scouting and a better chance at blindly fishing for agendas.

You have 17 events and 9 programs, drop magnum opus for a pro contacts. cut a modded for a 2nd pro contacts (honestly you could probably cut the moddeds altogether, but I leave that up to your discretion, it's certainly not a bad card, but you aren't running all that many 3+ drops, I think you would wind up sitting on at least one for a few turns, meaning it would be better spent as an infiltrate or easy mark that provide you options in the form of scouting and hard credits.

I think the 1 scavenge is a good call, plus 3 clone chips, means you can totally run cyber-cypher over that shitty keymaster, put it over R&D and scavenge it to a remote in a pinch, in a real tight pinch, you can just sacrifice it and then clone chip it back into play, you don't have too much use for the chips anyway except for whatever the corp manages to trash.

I think you'll find that deus X is only better than faerie against jinteki, otherwise although it costs no influence so if you feel like you need it go ahead and keep it, but my guess is that unless cyber-cypher eats up all your clone chips, faerie will outperform deus x in most instances. Of course, test run is great for faeries if there is a face up sentry since it's just going to explode after you use it anyway.

With all that recursion (test run, scavenge, clone chip) I think it might be safer to run Imp (if you can, obviously) than plascretes, since you can snipe the midseason/SEA source, and use it as general disruption against other decks/help dig R&D

you've also got the MU to rock a battering ram over corroder, and sub in a couple datasuckers. datasucker works really well with desperado (you basically get 2 credits every run), it's a little less efficient, but I think you would balance out by the added cash value on datasuckers, which also help pump your femme
