Consulting the butchers (4-1 at Huddersfield Swiss)

Giles 37

Ok so just took this deck to Huddersfield regionals and dropped one game with it so i thought id publish and see if people had any ideas on how to tweak it.

So the basic premise of the deck was to try and go back to the old days of pre mwl butchershop when you could both fast advance out effectively and threaten the kill. With the release of MCH and consulting visit you can compress your influence down enough to fit 2 SanSans and 3 Astroscript while still having effectively 6 Scorches.

The operation suite can be fairly toolboxy with the help of MCH and consulting visit allowing you to get anything out of your deck so i went for 1 SEA source so i could threaten a kill if they didnt score in order to still have a game plan against film critic. In the future im thinking an ASI might be a good include with all the resource heavy decks around at the moment.

Im fairly happy with the ICE suite as it does its job of dettering/ slightly taxing the runner while still generally allowing them through so they can get themselves killed and archangel is very good at making them have to replay plascretes.

I think the power of this deck is that it is very capable of just putting down a Sansan and fast advancing or sticking a breaking news on an unrezzed sansan at the end of the last turn to get the kill so the runner has to be aggressive enough to stop you and that leaves them open.

In the future i am debating taking the card up to 54 with the addition of maybe 2 museums (tutorable with MCH) another breaking news and 15 minutes and an ASI as i think this might add some consistency and resilience to the deck as it is only running 2 of each of the kill card so against noise you can run into trouble if he mills any of them. Any feedback on this idea or just feedback in general is very welcome.

hmmm that might be a good idea think id go down to one salems with the museum build anyway but might want to fit in a second CVS somewhere, could possibly cut down to one consulting visit as well
