As I've said before, I think that Flatline is a very undervalued card....

Flatline is the basis for one of my tourny-type decks and has alot of
useful versions. My favorite being:

Flatline+Suddon Goblinatation+2 Berettas+Fletchete Rounds+Armor Peircing
Rounds

18/10 A2 (Armor piercing damage) for 17 newyen. 6+2+2+2+2+3
Sure it's alot to pay but all of these cards can serve a good purpose until
you get out your Flatline (unlike Cyber/Skwaark decks) And in a well made
deck you can get it out cheep. Unlike the decks relying on getting a
extended clip on a single weapon....

I recommend using a couple of Kracker Jacks for their Recon and Pistol
getting abilities, along with Mr. Black and Mr. Johnson....
I tend to use the Kracker Jack's to steal more funds with Sticky Fingers
as well. Nothing like slowing down your opponents deck, while speeding
up your own.... :)

Other useful cards for this deck are: Doc Wagon Platinum for Flatline,
Luck of the Irish and a Lucky Rabbit's Foot to avoid the GAQS's on Flatline
and Grizzly to help absorb damage on a run/provide ammo cheaply.
