I've played just a couple games with this now, (except -1 Vamp +1 Showing Off, no particular reason) and it's pretty interesting, though I think there's definitely room for improvement somewhere. Some assorted thoughts:

This list has a memory problem; I always ended up needing to find both Memstrips & Grimoire to have out a full rig plus any of the viruses, and you do want to have Medium or Nerve Agent.

That said, I've drawn my entire deck every game so I do end up finding the necessary pieces. Paige Piper and Wyldside are pretty incredible at getting you through everything, but having only three breakers, no tutoring, and minimal recursion is still a big problem vs. Grail or net damage. Drawing my entire deck, in fact, put me in a bad spot against damage generally, losing me a game when they scored a House of Knives. Perhaps Feedback Filter is in order? Kim has been very underwhelming. Of course, that's a function of matchup, but I think I may straight swap to Quetzal and try that out.

Even with Opus I felt pretty poor, to be honest; I'd sit on my breakers for a long time taking easy accesses and waiting for memory to show up, but once it does you can go broke quickly installing MU and Torch and/or Garrote in one turn. You rarely surprise someone with a new breaker to get into a remote.

I played it some today too. I felt exactly the way you felt - slow breakers, MO was too slow, and memory. I anticipated memory to be an issue, and I learned that an extra click does not equate to rags-to-riches.

Ultimately, I just wanted to test the Genetics. And man, did Wyldside + Chronotype impress. I think I could cut the Qianju + Gene Shoppe + Joshua B. and just run those 6 cards for a 6 credit Earthrise for the rest of the game. FOR THE REST OF THE GAME!

But yea, the deck wasn't too spectacular. Needs more good stuff. Loved the Wyldside stuff though, could be an option in many Anarch decks.
