If you don’t want to abandon Weyland, the shell is exactly the same, only with High-Risk instead of Datapool. Sadly, I only have a GRNDL list, which after testing proved much worse than BABW.
It’s certainly useful if you suspect supplier Andy, as they tend to install supplier, host, host, host. The fact that you can slot one but effectively get four chances with Consulting Visit is also cool.
I play it in more than half of my games. Getting rid of Film Critic is super important and hitting Beth and Aaron is also a very good thing. Sometimes you hit The Supplier too. Ultimately, you have the space and those are the few cards that annoy the deck so spending a slot on getting rid of them is pretty big.
The decks don’t really care about scoring much, though the NBN version certainly can. Playing more agendas is a liability because it makes Aaron meaningful instead of a bad Lawyer Up and they clog your hand. Most importantly, playing 5/3s gives you 3 decks slots and the decks need them all.
High-Risk/Restructured Datapool are also game-enders so if you want to play those, it’s better to go all the way and play more 5/3s, even if they are completely useless like Priority is.
I suppose I will have to try Snatch. I don’t see as much film critic locally and it gets turned off if Aaron is on the table and primed.
I think I might suggest going with a hades shard instead of a single prireq. Since the 5/3s are kind of fluff cards anyway, I would probably go with cards that let you recycle threats. You have tutoring potential after all.
Seems sound. Had not considered a chunky build that is all in on the kill. You also have the option of going up to government takeover too for higher variance at the cost of an extra deck slot.
Snatch & Grab is also handy since, if my memory serves, if they go the tag route to avoid the trash you can use it to turn on a Judge before they have a chance to Aaron it away.
But I struggle to include judge in my deck right now. Slots are tight and while he does enable Scorched pretty well, he doesn’t play as nicely with boom.
Here’s the one I’m working on. So far so good. Just gotta go fast and hit them with incessant HHN. The HHN/Zealous Judge combo is pretty sweet against Marron.
HHN is great for getting their credits down to where Stinson can fire.
Not convinced the Ice suite is optimal. Tribunal is pretty funny if they aren’t ready for it. most of the time it doesn’t get rezzed.

Something I’ve been thinking going back to in a Aaron Asshole meta is pulling out the Prisec/DRT’s again, since he isn’t a Prevent/Avoid and you can’t Aaron away the tags from Prisecs until after the run ends and they get another window for abilities.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, Stone might be fun with Door to Door to pop 'em in the face. Land the tag? They’re going to get popped in the face for a meat on their turn. Or import a Data Raven or eight. Taking the tag instead of ETR’ing? EFF YOU HAVE MEAT. The tag on Mausolus gets dangerous again too. Or Prisecs! Now hitting one is going to chunk for 2 meat instead of one while Stone’s on the table. Snares pop for 3 net 1 meat…
