This deck actually starts with 6 influence at sundown due to Jake Smiley. With 5 guys down, two hucksters, and an expendable Travis Moone, a starting hand with hexes in it leads to a very fast start and control of the board. There is a lot of movable influence in this deck that allows quick control of the town. You should also be trying to make sure you use the outfit ability every turn. The economy in this deck is amazing (hence the name) but that extra ghost rock as well as cycling helps you get a It's Not What You Know... into your hand. When you're pulling between a full house and a five of a kind every draw they're even more tempted o cheat. Playing It's Not What You Know... usually leads to massive casualties on their side and if you can take out their influence, you have enough guys to grab all the control points you need to win. So far this deck is undefeated.

@BlackcraftI am so excited that somebody got this! It was my little nod to an epic video game.

Ran this in the tournament today, did pretty well except I played a game where I got no hexes on the table and I realized that no hexes means certain death. The opponent was also running a no upkeep law dogs deck that just controlled the whole town.

I used this deck in a modified format, and should have won WAY faster than I actually did had I noticed his lack of influence on the other side (whoops!). Anyway, here's what I did to tweak. You may enjoy it:

I dumped Jake Smiley and Wilber Crowley from the deck altogether, and promoted Jia Mein to the Starting Posse. Yes, you get one higher upkeep cost, but the shootout for Jia is too sweet to pass up. I am, however, considering bringing Jake back and dumping Dulf Zug out entirely.

Other dude changes: dropped Richard Slavin and brought in The Ghostly Gun, Mario Crane, and Max Baine (Exp.1). Mario and Gun speak for themselves, and the game text on Max is too good to pass up.

Everthing else is mostly solid. The only tweak I may additionally make is to swap out the Extortions for more Unprepareds. Other than that, solid.
