Given the lack of draw that NEH provides, you don't think DBS is needed here?

@hookgrip Jackson for 2 cards is sufficient draw for this deck I think. You've got built in legwork insurance and slots are tight.

Why would pairing down to 5 be of use, fewer agendas? I've just seen so many corp decks with the obligatory +4 decksize that I haven't thought to try a baseline with any of them.

@Vimes You're still running 11 agendas, but with 4 fewer non-agenda cards, you will draw agendas more quickly and have more opportunities to score them. Corp decks run at max deck size to make it more difficult for runners to score. 20 agenda points divided across 49 cards means that each card the runner sees is worth .41 agenda points; thus by the time the runner has randomly accessed 17 times, he will have won the game (on average).

Since Haarpsichorde will never have 7 agenda points peeled off of the top of the deck in one turn because of the ID ability, it can theoretically enjoy the benefits of being slightly faster without suffering nearly as much of the downside.

It's really high level deck tuning, and to be honest, It's not worth doing unless you think you've learned all there is to know about playing the archetype already. I'm reluctant to do it myself, but my process is to just remove cards the cards that have the least impact on the game one by one as I play.
