I’ve tested code siphon quite a lot, and the deck I ran it in had 2 femmes, lots of 4 cost things, and atman. The key to opening aggressive is have 8-12 hard hitting events that put the corp on the back foot turn 1. I would test run femme on HQ, siphon, code siphon RnD, then scavenge femme as needed. Turn 1 +5 credits, and MO and femme on the board.
Also shoving in indexing for the turns where you can’t even mull into the siphons, but still get test run, you can score 2-4 points easily turn 1. This was a chaos theory deck so getting 2 pieces in the opener was more likely then.
Start with 2-3 Asiphon, 2-3 Csiphon, 3 indexing, 2 femme, 3 test run 3 scavenge and 3 SoT. Probably NACH+FC as our scorch protection. Yea you’ll likely float tags SOME turns, but in honesty, its not all that risky if you understand how much corp cards cost. Even if you only hit a 2 cost program with code siphon, the free tutor is a fine gain.
You probably want levy or 2 but first swing:

Indexing works with Maya and the RDI if you have it, to help you bottom cards you care about, that way its targeted rather than random. Sure lots of indexing foils exist, but you have opus and femmes, go check the face downs. Siphon also.
