Hey, I’ve been tinkering with this PE deck that’s been pretty fun. It’s pretty gimmicky, but revolves around running Matrix Analyzers on remotes. You always drop-double advance agendas or traps, because the Analyzer turns it into a triple advanced card when they run it. Data Mines are crucial and should only be rezzed when it’ll trip up the runner’s math during the run. Otherwise it’s a pretty straightforward PE deck. I like Nisei a lot in this deck, because you can force a second encounter with Analyzer if you need it.
Looking for some advice on a few things:
It’s pretty easy to score a 3-pointer with this deck, especially early on, but I don’t know if Executive Retreat is the right choice. It’s kind of nice to clear my hand sometimes, especially to put Snares back into R&D. I have no good PR targets to rez. Priority or Executive, or put Braintrusts in instead?
Also, I have issues with the end game. Typically I’ll easily get to 5 points (PR and a Nisei) since there’s no point risking a flatline for the runner until I’m about to win. But there’s the rub – if I put a Junebug in I usually win with a flatline. If I don’t have one, it’s really hard to finish the game with APs. How would you fix the end game? Perhaps Braintrusts are the answer since it opens up the universe of cards I can bluff with. I could see dropping two Executive Retreats for 3 Braintrusts. Lemme know what you think!

Edit: After testing a bit more I realized it does need Braintrust and Trick of Light to finish in the late game. You can cut the Hokusais from this deck, they don’t do much. Here’s an RP variant I’ve been kicking around, too. I think it’s actually more interesting to play.
