Used both desks a few times against a wide range of decks so far and having a good success ratio with both of them. Any tips or hints to improve or to point out where I am going wrong would be most welcome.

I would definitely cut down your criminal deck. Criminals play fast so you want as small a deck as is legally permitted (45 cards) I saw a couple of pretty useless cards in your deck (access to globalsec, data dealer etc...) so I'd definitely take those out and take anythng else out that you can to get down to 45 cards

Thanks for the tips, taken out the following;

3 Escher.

3 Access To Globalsec.

1 Data Dealer.

2 Crash Space.

2 Decoy.

Leaves me at the legal minimum deck size, so should be nice and fast.

As you've removed Escher, I'd think about what to spend your influence on instead. Corroder is generally better than Aurora for example, and you don't have a dedicated decoder so maybe drop Gordian Blade in (though I'm not sure what you'd cut). Not that you need a decoder as you have Crypsis, but he's so terribly expensive to run...

With all the money generation this deck has you might be able to lose one or two of those options. I'd probably drop Armitage given your list, as it takes the focus away from running (which you want to do often with Desperado and Gabe's ability). Your other economy seems more click-efficient.

I don't play criminal however, so you may get better advice from others who do.

Link is kinda pointless unless you are facing many traces from all the games you play, or you are running Underworld Contacts.

Most decks like Yog.0 because for 80% of the code gate ice you run into it'll get you through. Anything more most folks also have Datasucker to bring them down for Yog.0 If you're not running Datasucker, then Gordian Blade is better because you can bring it up to take down gates.

Ninja and Femme Fatale are sort of the same thing. Ninja is cheaper to install and you can break larger ice better but Femme will save you on the larger pieces, like a heavily advanced ice wall. Your choice on which to run, but having 4 of them altogether is somewhat redundant.

Kati Jones is a great econ resource that doesn't take up a lot of moves to pay off, since it restricts you to a single click each turn.

For Icebreakers you can use a single copy of better out of faction breakers and make use of Special Order to find them. This will save you influence room for other things you might want.
