I've been shying away from Recon lately - there are more than a few
effects which can screw it up (Knock Knock, Security Decker, even Bugged
Deck), while there are 'untouchable' cards like the Corporate Secretary,
Microskimmer, and Watcher Spirit also out there. (Crawler Drone is kind
of buggy: would you Knock Knock the Drone or the Runner controlling it?)

Certainly can't hurt none. Works well with the skillsoft deck you
mentioned above - goblinization in the CCG doesn't rip out cyber at all.

There's the question of whether Stiletto can effect other player's
runners, but he seems designed for this combo. This combo works best
with Crossfire or Up and Over, where you can make the Eyekiller really
fearsome!
