Andromeda Deck

I decided to try out Andromeda deck, so I made this deck and tested it against my friends NBN Fast Advance deck:
Identity:
Total Cards: (47)
Event: (20)
Hardware: (5)
Program: (12)
Resource: (10)
Crash Space (Core) x2

We played three games and here are results:

1st game:
Ok I lost this game to my own recklessness. I drew Snare from his R&D when I had 2 cards in my hand. And that happened on 3rd turn. :lol:

2nd game:
This game started out good, but I was just unlucky I scored only 1 agenda despite running atleast once per turn, Everything I accessed was either ICE or Operation. At the end I lost 2:7

3rd game:
Ok, this game started out great. I ran naked whole game because he was so money starved, he had only 2 ICEs out and I could easly pay through his traces with 3x Compromised Employee and Kati on the table, however at the end he gained uper hand with Closed Accounts, Snare and my inability to access anything but ICE and Operations. Which gave him enough time to score few agendas. I lost 6:7.

I know I was unlucky with cards which I accessed, but I am thinking that either HQ Interface or R&D Interface would be good addition to the deck. I am leaning more towards R&D Interface but I can't find influence points for it. Even if I drop Xanadu (which was great in 3rd game, but is very situational) thats only 2x R&D Interface.

I am still considering to replace Crash Space and Crescentus but have no idea with what.

So what are your suggestions? What should I change about this deck?

Thanks for the advice.

Seems pretty decent for a criminal deck, but you need something to threaten R&D with. Either Maker's Eye, R&D Interface, or Medium......I'd go with the interface personally.

Stuff I'd do:

-3 Easy Mark

+ 3 Dirty Laundry.

More bang for your buck and you can run naked servers for free cash essentially

- 1 FOA

+ 1 Account Siphon

Siphon is simply amazing. Probably the best runner card in the game currently. FOA isn't as worth it anymore as not many people play big ICE. I don't even run it anymore, but it's useful to have on occasion depending on the meta.

-2 Doppelganger

+ 2 Desperado

Doppelganger is only situationally useful. Desperado is always useful.

I'm not a fan of link-based ecconomy as it takes a while to get the ball rolling. However that's personal taste so I won't touch it.

As far as programs go, **** Gordian is expensive in terms of influence. I'm a huge fan of Mimic, Yog, Corroder, Datasuckers. However sneakdoor can work too. With Special Order, you could be ballsy an only take 1 Gordian to save some influence. One Femme is also useful against annoying things like tollbooth and super-advance ice wall.

I personally prefer Plascrete to Crash Space....but that's because I never get rid of my tags.

Xanadu isn't needed, get something else instead.

Everyone in the Baltimore area seems to have adopted Andromeda with the Anarch icebreakers, and it's a very hard deck to beat. Between Desperado and Datasucker, you're getting a lot of free money for running, and Account Siphon/ Emergency Shutdown ensures that the corp can't rez anything you can't deal with. It's a real pain to figure out.

I realize not everyone wants to buy three core sets, but Desperado is such a beating in Andromeda.
