I really think you want a Mimic in this deck.

First off--61 cards!? That's waaay too many. Even with Duggar's you're going to have trouble finding what you need for your combo to work.

Two words: Cortex Lock. If you're going Ekomind+Public Sympathy for Overmind tokens, Cortex Lock will ruin your day so hard. Plus it falls nicely in the range where it's super expensive for Overmind but not quite into D4v1d range. I'm not sure how to deckbuild around it quite yet: mostly, just be aware that it exists.

I don't think Levy AR Lab Access is the right choice. With Ekomind, Duggar's, and Public Sympathy+Beach Party/Adjusted Chronotype you are going to have a MASSIVE hand size; and Levy makes you shuffle that glorious grip back into your stack, for only a measly five cards in return.

I also think that Beach Party and Duggar's is a risky combination. If you draw the Duggar's first, then you're going to massively overdraw and have to discard a lot of good cards before you find the Beach Party. But if you draw the Beach Party and don't immediately find your Adjusted Chronotype, you only have three clicks and therefore can't use Duggars.

If you do take out the LALA, that frees up three influence, which I would spend on some combination of Gene Conditioning Shoppe and Quality Time (1 inf each). Quality Time is a super-efficient card draw engine. Gene Conditioning Shoppe lets Adjusted Chronotype fire twice, which means you could have two Beach Parties up simultaneously for absolutely insane hand sizes. Or, you could swap out some Earthrise Hotels for Wyldside, but then you want to include a Chop Bot 3000 as a backup plan. The Chop Bot also lets you trash dead Overminds to save on memory, although that shouldn't be an issue here.

Gene Conditioning Shoppe also makes Symmetrical Visage really good, which could be another alternative to Duggar's.

If you don't want to go that route, you could also just swap Levy AR Lab Access for Game Day, which gives you an insane amount of draw with Beach Party/PubSym.

I think your base concept is solid. You just need to take it to the grindstone and hone it down a bunch to make it consistent.

This is what I was thinking from the last deck list: netrunnerdb.com
