One of the variations has kind of findable 20 but it needs 5 moves to 4a1 4e or 3 moves to 0c0 4e on the other side so not a bad miss. All 21s Mallard gives me seem to be non-trivial as well so quite ok with this.

(F2 R2 B') //EO+rzp 4c4e

The most free sub20 I have seen in a long time :D
Premade rzp after linear 3-move EO.
7-move linear DR from 4c4e.
Optimal from DR is completely linear using the shortest possible HTR on that side of the scramble :D

Found in about 15 mins but still used some more time to make sure I have optimal from DR and also checked some extensions but found nothing better. And also quick computer analysis doesnt give anything better either so nice.

Oops, DR is 22 optimal with linear HTR :D

Optimal from DR but the variatiom where you do U' rzp instead is 22 optimal. But I ran out of time to before checking that since I wasted some time on this:

U B' R F' , R (L2 D R2 D R) //4c3 in 10, 23 optimal but those were hard to find.

B' F D' F //EO+rzp7c8e

(F2 L2 F2 R2 B2)] //slice 20/21
[] = (D' R2 D F2 L2 F2 R2 B2 U D2) //+1 21/21

Optimal from DR. (D2 B2 U B2 R' D L) variation of DR is 22 optimal.

Also had (L U' D R) (B) (D R2 F2 U F2 U) /4c3 in 11 with double slice potential but didt find anything good.

Mallard gives 20 with:
(L U' D R)               // eolr      (4/4)
(B)                      // arfb-eolr (1/5)
(D' R2 U L2 U)           // drfb-eolr (5/10)

B2 R2                    // fin       (2/20)
I had this DR but 4b5 in 10 so I didnt even try to check this...

B' (L2 F) //EO
U , R F2 B2 U2 R2 U' //DR 4c3 with 4 variations 10/24
(D2 L D2 L') D2 B2 R' //HTR 17/24

Post-DR:
D2 B2 [R' B F' R2 D2 B' F' L D2 L'] D2
[]= Rw' B F' R2 D2 B' F' Lw D2 Lw2 L //+1 24/24

DR opt is 23 and completely findable. I have missed lot of optimal finishes lately...

Also had:
B (L2 F') (R2 U) (R' L2 U L2 R2 D) //4b2 4e in 11 with variations. Also 23 opt and findable...

And somehow I missed the 8 move DR... Damn, so much skill issues this week...

(B') F2 ^ R2 D2 F' ^ R2 D2 F' ^ //HTR 19/25

DR opt is 24.

Also had:

(L' B' D F L2 D2 B2 R' D B2 D) //2c4 in 11. 24opt
(L' B D F' U R2 B2 R2 F2 R' D) //2c4 in 11. 24opt

All sub12 DRs were bad subset... And I missed optimals because I spent too much time hunting for better DRs... Bad solve.

U2 R U2 R //EO
B' , R2 F2 B2 U' D2 B //DR 0c0 4e 11/20
U2 L2 U' R2 L2 U' //HTR 17/20
L2 U2 F2 //lol free finish 20/20

Also had:
U2 R U2 R B (U' R2 L2 U' B) //4a1 4e in 10. 22opt

(F' D') //EO
(L B') (R2 B2 R' D2 L2 B) //DR 2c3 4e 10/23. 4 variations.
(F2 L ^ U2 B2 L' F2 R') //HTR 17/23
(F B' L2 F' B') //slice 22/23
^=M2 //+1 23/23

There were some 22s from those DRs but they were not that trivial so not too mad about missing those. 22 also seems to be the best reasonable (checking 5 movers isnt reasonable for me on this scramble :D ) Mallard gives. There is a 21 but it is quite hard on a scramble like this at least for me because 5 move rzp to 7c8e.

(U2 R') //EO
(D') (B U2 F2 R2 F2 U') //DR 2c4 9/22
(B R2 F'^ R2 F R2 D2 B'^) //HTR with million variations since 2c3 sq-sq 17/22
(R2 B2 L2 D2 F2) //slice 22/22
^=w //+0 22/22

I hate scrambles like this where you instantly know that there has to be at least a 20. I mean they are fun if you find that 20 with time to spare. But if you dint it is SUPER stressful...

And as I thought there is a completely free 20 here but somehow I just missed the rzp in 4 from that same EO... Damn

(B' U' D L) //EO
(F') (R2 D' R2 U L2 B') //DR 4c3 11/23
(U F2 L2 U2 * L2 U R2 U') //first HTR I tried :D 19/23
(L2 B2 L2) //2e+slice 22/23
*= U2 L2 F2 U2 F2 L2 U2 F2 //slice 8-7 = 23/23
After DR:
(U'^ F2 L2 U2 F2 L2 U^ R2 U' L2 B2 L2)
^=w //+0 23/23

Easier to find with (U) L2 B2 L2 U R2 U but hey whatever works counts :D
And since this was my first HTR I checked it made sense to look for backup 24-25 with 2e2e insertion.

Kind of a bad scramble. Mallard only gives one 22 solution and that is from NISS 5 move EO so 23 is good.

Also had:
(D R U R F) R' B2 D R' U //4c4 in 10, 24 opt
(D R U R F) R' B2 L2 D R' U //2c4 in 10 and the R2 variation, 24 opt
(B' U' D L') (F' D) (B R2 B' U2 F U) //2c3 2e in 12, 25 opt

B' R2 F //EO
(R2 D') (L' U2 D2 F2 L' U) //DR 4c3 11/23
L' U2 L (R) //HTR 15/23
F2 L2 * F2 U2 //2e2e 19/23
*= L2 F2 U2 F2 L2 U2 F2 U2 //8-4 = 23/23

22 optimal with 4 move reduction to 4a1 4e but I didnt have time to check all of those...

Also had:
F' U2 B , D' F2 U2 R' U2 L //4c4 in 9 but couldnt find anything ftom that or variations. 1 of those variations has findable 23 but nothing better.

(D) B' D2 L' U' //EO+rzp 4c6e
B F R' F2 L' //DR 2c3 4e 10/22
U2 [F' U2 R2 F' U2 B'] //HTR 17/22
U2 B2 U2 L2 //slice 21/22
[]= Fw' U2 R2 Fw' U2 Bw2 B //+1 22/22

Optimal from DRs. There is a 1 move DR extension that gives 21. R2 F' B R U2 L

(B' D R' U' F) //EO+rzp 4c4e
(U L2 B2 D F2 U' R) //DR 4c3 12/25
F2 U'^ R2 U L2 U2^ L2 B2 D'^ //HTR 21/25
F2 L2 U2^ L2 //slice 25/25
^=w //+0

Horrible scramble. Mallard gives 23 but I missed the rzp breaking DR.

Also had
(U B' D R' F) (L') (D' L2 U2 L2 U' L) //2c3 4e in 12 and (U' F2 D2 B2 D' R) variation but both +14 optimal and even those are kind of unfindable :D

(R') U D L' //EO
F' , D L2 F2 U2 D B //DR 2c4 11/22
U' F2 U' F2 R2 U' F2 * U' B2 //2e+slice 20/22

So after DR:
U' F2 U'^ F2 R2 U^ B2 D2 B2 U B2
^=w //+0 22/22

Also had these DRs:
F2 U' D' R , U' B2 U2 L2 U2 D B //4b2 4e already setup to a trigger with 4 similar variations.
Spent a lot of time on this and found 23 quite quickly. One variation has 22 optimal that I missed.
(R) U D L (U2 F' U2 B R2 F' U) //4b2 2e but U2 parity on both sides and doesnt seem promising. 23 optimal.

(B U2 L) //EO
(B F U') (R2 U F U') //DR 4a1 2e 10/23
F'^ L2 F'^ U2 D2 B'^ //HTR 16/23
R2 D2 L2 F2 L2 B2^^ //slice 22/23
^=w
^^=S' //+1 23/23

Wasted too much time on 3 move EOs and found several 9-10 move DRs from there so missed the good 4 mover that gives 19...

L' D L R' U //EO+rzp 4c6e
L' D2 F' L2 B' //DR 2c4 10/24
R'^ F2 R' D2 F2 R' F2 R^ //HTR 18/24
D2 U2 B2 U2 B2 R2 //slice 24/24
^=w //+0

Horrible scramble. DR is 23 optimal but needs 2HTs before reduction. 
Mallard gives 22 from 2c5 in 10 from same EO on inverse that I found but solving 5qt is...nope.

(R' L2 B' U) //EO+rzp 7c8e
(L2 B' R B L) //DR 2c4 9/20
U2 F' U2 B' L2 B U2 B //HTR 17/20
L2 D2 B2 //slice 20/20
widen everything for +0 //20/20

11 move finish from 2c4 :D

Also close to good mo3: 18, 24, 20 = 21.00

D F (D' B') //EO+rzp 4c2e
R F2 U2 R' U L2 U //DR 4c3 11/24
(L^) F2 D2 L^ B2 U2 R' //HTR 18/24

DR is 23 optimal but 2 half turns before reduction.

Missed the rzp breaking 10-move DRs from that same EO that give 22...
Somehow didnt register that it was already in jzp after EO. Bad miss.

B' F R' D' //EO+rzp 7c8e on both axis
(F2 R2 B' R F) //DR 4a1 4e 9/20 WOW! Extension from (F R B) //DR in 7 but 4c5

Horrible scramble. Was already prepared for 25-26 but got lucky in the finish.

(R' F2 L2 F2 U) //DR 2c3 6e 8/20
L'^ (D2 L2^ D2 L' D2 L'^) //HTR 15/20

19 optimal from DR :/

L2 D2 L2 D2 R' F2 U2 R' //HTR 17/21

optimal from all variations.

21.00 mo3. Nice! but 2nd solve was still kind of dissappointing.
Great set of scrambles. 20, 17, 21 findable 19.33 at least. But 17 was kind of hard...

(L) B2 L' //EO+rzp 4c4e
B' R2 F' R2 F D //DR 2c3 2e 9/22
(R2 F^ R2 F' D2 R2 F^) //HTR 16/22
R2 F2^ D U F2 L2 U' D //slice 24-2 = 22/22
^=w //+0 22/22

Such a disappointing result. Many short DRs with good subset. There is even a 19 from that 8 move 4b2 but it seems really hard to find... And so did the 20-21 move solutions as well...

Other DRs I looked at:
(L) B2 L B L2 F B2 D //4b2 2e in 8, 19 opt
(L) B2 L B L2 F B2 D //4b2 2e in 9, 21opt

Apparently there is also a 17 if you do rzp in 6 but I aint doing that on a scramble like this...

D2 F' R F' //EO
L (D' L D2 * L) //DR 4c3 9/20
U F2 U'^ L2 D2^ F2 D^ //HTR 16/20
