My own take on a Butchershop style deck, but with the upcoming identity SYNC: Everything, Everywhere, instead of the more traditional NEH. A smaller deck makes getting the combo easier, and I figured making tag removal cost 3 really helps them going tag-me. Also, trashing resources for free after they do so is very handy.

Most of the cards are plain butchershop stuff: Money and tag punishment.

Some notes:

I only have one core set, so there's only two Scorched Earths. Instead I opted to throw in two Snare!s, for shits and giggles, and as a backup tag source.

Sweeps Week is usually very profitable when the runner smells the butchering tools, as they tend to keep a full hand. Considered going 3x and cutting some other money card, like Hedge Fund, but we'll see.

As for ICE, most are obvious; Gutenberg for R&D, Wraparound for HQ and remotes, Data Ravens for the rest. Bandwidth for the outermost layer, hoping the next piece will make them turn around.

Not really sure about NAPD Contract here. The primary goal is to kill, not to score, so giving the runner an option not to steal might not be the best. Maybe two more of TGTBT is better. Or maybe the upcoming Explode-a-palooza, to also get an economy boost for the rest of the butchering.

I'd go -1 Midseason Replacements and +1 Sweeps Week. I definitely wouldn't get rid of another Hedge Fund. Midseason Replacements is a dead card until you are ready to scorch, and 3 will definitely clog your hand up in a 44 card deck.

Explode-a-palooza makes kills happen. You should absolutely take it over NAPD Contract. I'd also consider losing some Beales to take a set of three.

I'd disagree about midseason being a dead card until the kill. If I have it and can put them at tagfinity before I have the kill cards, that's fine, now they are just a ticking time bomb while I Jackson 3 clicks a turn digging for scorch. Especially in butcher shop, Better to go 3x and have it in your hand without the kill combo, than go 2x and possibly miss your chance of using it.

I've tried out Bandwidth in Butcher before, and you usually either draw it before you have any ETR ice or Data Ravens (which the runner usually jacks out on sight of anyhow), or you draw it too late and the runner has out the barrier breaker and it matters a lot less. You might switch them out for something like either Quandary or Enigma, depending on how much money you feel you want to spend and whether you like the time-loss sub or not.

might be worth it to look at one 15 minutes? easy to score, if they score it you can midseason but also return it to your deck
