I'm not 100% sure what you're doing here. I see the Street Chess combo (Scheherazade, Pawn, and Deep Red); unlike Exile, who draws cards when he pulls this off, Hayley will get extra program installs every time the Pawns cycle.

On top of that, you've also got the Dumpster Gamble economy (i.e., Scavengeing Caches onto Scheherazade and then selling it to Aesop's Pawnshop). Again, you're passing up on Exile's extra draws in exchange for Hayley's speed installs.

Then you also have the London Library and Femme Fatale combo. Which is powerful, but doesn't work at all with Scheherazade; remember that each card can only be hosted on one other card at the time, so when you put Femme on the Library you cannot also put it on Scheherazade for the credit. You also can't get into any server with 2 ice without either sacrificing or hard installing a Femme.

Then you have Ghost Runner. Why would you have Ghost Runner? You don't have any stealth. I thought maybe you would clear the credits off and then sell it to Aesop, but Ghost Runner trashes itself when the credit is cleared so that doesn't work.

Also, False Echo? Sure, if the corp decides not to rez something you target with Femme, then you can force them to pick it back up, and I suppose it's a cheap program that can be put on Scheherazade and sold to Aesop...but so is Self-modifying Code, and that one is waaay more useful for Hayley (since you can use SMC to install on the corp's turn and get another free install).

I do like the touch of running Beach Party with Aesop's Pawnshop; you can sell the Party for a gain of 3, and turn off the click loss as soon as you drop down below 5 cards again. But all of your cards are super cheap, and Hayley installs fast, so you're probably never going to have that many cards in hand.

I also don't really get Utopia Shard. I assume it's meant to be protection against Scorched Earth, but I really don't think you're going to find it soon enough for it to make a difference.

Maybe I'm missing something. But I think this deck could be make playable if it had slightly less going on.

That is super janky-janky stuff there.

FF on London, yes, and install something on a regular Scheherazade, like Street Pawn or Caches.

Drop Pawn on ice, run with FF, blackmailing an outermost ice stupid rez with FF/recursive False Echo. If this work well, either the corp have no money + no risk for you with FF, and then can't install more ice, either they can't/don't want to rez and clog HQ with ices that they would loose more credit to reinstall.

2 run to get 2c-4c through Pawns or Cache then desintall FF is the regular turn. That'll pay for FF bypasses.

You can Aesop loads of things : Beach Parties (not my idea but I found it neat), Sheherazades if you have a sheherazade in hand, and even pawns, 2c used Ghost Runners (that's a small cost 2 gain 10 event there : cost 2, 2+2 run money + 6 aesop money for a single clic is fine to me), etc.

You do this on all outermosts then slowly gain money to remote lock.

Lots of deck have Plascrete x 1 to protect against SEA-SE-SE. My 1-card tin hat is Utopia shard which I think is really more flexible.

This is far, really really far from being a good deck, just an idea I had like this.

I would have to put 3 of Quality Time too I think.

And yeah, as of now, it can only win by luck today. But these mecanism are really fun to play with. I'll try to improve this later this evening, and maybe play it ;)

People, I claim it right here and now :

If this deck doesn't rank at tier 1, I cook my balls.

Granted.
