Financial Butcher (1st place Oslo Regionals)

skewie 259

I'm terrible at naming things, sorry. This deck went undefeated during the tournament. Most wins were flatlines and IIRC 3 were from agenda points.

It's a somewhat standard butcher shop deck. One deviation from the standard is the lack of Pop-up Windows. While testing this archetype out I noticed that there are very few runs pre-midseason, which is when you would need the income. Afterwards it doesn't matter as much, so I removed them and never missed them. In addition I added a one-off Closed Accounts which, combined with a Breaking News-score, outright won me a couple of games where the runner was sure to out-money me.

In anticipation of Whizzard/Scrubber-decks I also added two restructures and removed one Pad-Campaign.

How often did Cortex Lock help? I keep seeing it in Butcher Shop, but I can't see how it's more useful than a Reclamation Order or Archived Memories.

It's something that'll help more often because at worst it'll discourage runs. Very few killers are worth burning on taking that, it should hinder or slow a runner early at that price.
