Smear Campaign

"Hello, Mr. Reilly. You'll be pleased to know an anonymous benefactor has just offered to fund a sensie about your life. It's a shame we'll have to change the ending."

This deck is a beast. The ID ability is really phenomenal for the Butcher Shop strategy, arguably moreso than NEH. You get more opportunities to Midseasons, don't die hard to deep R&D digs or Noise mills, and can even try and play a little agenda shell game (which facedown is TGTBT and which is Astro? You only get one, so choose wisely!). To make up for having no free draws, 2 less influence, and no stable asset econ, we include DBS for filtering and a number of alternative econ options. Notably, Profiteering is great now that we can drop NAPD for Explode-a-palooza. You don't care about trying to tax the runner out, so giving out bad pub like candy isn't an issue. Targeted Marketing is another MVP of the deck. Usually it names the runner's Fracter of choice after letting them see a Wraparound, or the pesky Film Critic if you've seen it in their deck. Snatch and Grab also helps with this.

Constructive criticism welcomed!
