This is a deck I've been working on with input from @Ironcache that I piloted undefeated to a GNK win, alongside Titan Transnational. Deck concepts were: mostly just throw in a ton of good criminal cards alongside the new cards Rosetta 2.0 and Aeneas Informant. Aeneas Informant is a great insurance policy against horizontal decks, and Rosetta 2.0 is basically a repeatable Special Order. I have duplicate breakers because Skorpios has been popular in my area. Cache and Tracker can be freely used with Rosetta to grab breakers, and the deck list I played also had a Sneakdoor in lieu of my 3rd Desperado, which is another fun trick to use Rosetta for.

The real trick though is Equivocation. Since you can't Rosetta for viruses, I am opting for Equivocation over Medium. Alongside Temujin, Aeneas, Mobius, Dirty Laundry and Turning Wheel, you end up digging through their deck at an alarming rate, and doing it for a relatively low cost. Most of my wins were just through sheer number of R&D accesses resulting from Equivocation. It's a fun card!

I think the deck could be made a lot better. @Ironcache discussed an alternative version using Leela, but I wasn't up for cutting influence to take it out of Ken. I think even losing a Corroder for a Demara/Breach would be sufficient, and likely stronger. But it's a fun deck and I really recommend you check it out!

Ever time I look at Equivocation I get sad why did you associate my name with this.

Seriously though, it looks janky, but the Equivocation R&D lock can get up and running pretty fast with Rosetta. Even with that aside, Aeneas Desperado Temujin criminal is great in general and I'm pretty sure you can't make a bad deck if it contains those 9 cards.
