I feel like to make the most of Fast Advance out of Harmony you want all 2 pointers and maybe Shi.Kyu? Otherwise, why play out of Harmony and not (say) Industrial Genomics? Needing only 3 agendas to win while the runner needs 4 is quite powerful. And if you make one of those 4 a Medical Breakthrough, you can score the third one straight out of RnD with a fast track.

You might notice that i included all the 3 advancement 2 pointers possible.

I also included Clone Retirement because it can be scored from hand.

Shi Kyu is interesting in theory but it usually costs too much to be reliable, the runner can actually take the damage unless i pay high enough to flatline. And i generally don't have that kind of money. Also the deck's main weakness is R&D lock and Shi Kyu doesn't help on that front.

Yeah, but you can also include NAPD (or maybe Fetal AI), I've had good experience with both in Harmony Fast Advance. An NAPD can be ToL off a SanSan for a fast advance score.

You only need one Shi.Kyu to hit before you've effectively cancelled out a score by the runner; consider how much it would normally cost the runner to score, and the 3 or 4 creds to make it stick is a fairly good investment. And for RnD lock, seems a good card to include would be Snare!, maybe over the Junebug? Once the runner knows you're running those they're far less likely to dig deep!

I ran a very similar deck out of Harmony, it's great fun and not really expected. Enjoy! :)

I ideally want to both Fast Advance and Advance fast. By the time a Shy.Kyu becomes in any way relevant the game should be over. Junebug is there only as a ToL battery or to protect a SanSan, i don't ever plan on it flatlining a runner who knows what he's doing. Snare! for defeating R&D lock is not exactly a winning idea either. A good runner will just draw back up and keep running. Maybe more speed is what is needed.
