Custom Cuts Butchershop. Cambridge regionals 4-3.

Here's my take on Butchershop in HB. CB seems like an obvious choice due to the high influence of mid seasons and scorched earth.

HB asset economy got to be quite insane with breaker bay grid. The strategy here is simple, create fairly taxing servers, wait for them to pull an agenda and then tag to infinity with mid seasons with your money. Traffic accident and scorched aggressively, and pull back kill cards with reclamation order if needed.

ICE seems tricky in this deck and I don't claim to have it figured out at all. I'm having the most trouble with this aspect. IQ seems good because you will be holding combo pieces for a while. Eli is still great. Architect is still great. Most suspicious include award goes to Roto.

I will probably bring this to the next GNK tournament soon and update. Cheers!

@CJFM actually, they are not meant to be scorches! The trick with this deck, and the way I got most my kills was by psychographic a Vitruvius and pull back traffic accidents to kill them. After you land a mid seasons, you are almost guaranteed a win, and the games I lost mid seasons didn't fire. Psychographics is also amazing for scoring Mandatory Upgrades from hand, and once you do, it becomes the easiest thing in the world to score agendas. If I had to do it again, I would remove Efficiency Committee and instead add 2 Accelerated Beta Test to make scoring out even easier.

@astrostl idk I edited the damn thing after I did the write up, whoops.

Just popping in to say this deck is still fun as hell to play and with about six years of minor tweaks it somehow got a lot better.

Nobody expects the Midseasons/Traffic/Traffic even still, and you get the big stupid 12-tagger you still win.
