Dead Man's Hand - Morgan Rich deck
Bronto 2
The idea is to spam Spades and Diamonds while avoiding fights until you only have the Dead Man's Hand left in your deck (don't play William Specks).
Is it built so you will never be caught cheatin' and always get the low ball. But you'll never be able to get a good fighting hand if you're not lucky.

Thx Jasta. Reality confirms you're right. I never managed to get to the point where the DMH are permanent. I'm not playing this deck enough for my tests to be relevant yet. That said, increasing the number of cards involving DMH won't help building the plan, it will just make a different deck, trying to draw some DMH earlier. This deck (not competitive) tries to reach the situation where all its hands will be DMH. For that, i need to Ace cards (Gomorra Parish) and play others until I only have a few of them left, including a DMH. This is a strategy that worked for a while back in the Classic Deadland days. But cards were different. :) |

Playtests said you were more right that what i thought. Thanks. :) Publishing the new version (how do I delete the old one btw?) |
Not sure you're ever going to last long enough to get to that state and you don't actually have that many cards that make up DMH. Only two jack of diamonds and 8 of spades? Almost all your Ace of spades on the board at the start?
Also if you manage to thin your deck out that much by 'spamming' deeds... how have you not already won?
If you're going to DMH you really need to max out on the exact cards you need unless you've got a lot of ways to play extra wildcards like Ace in the Hole or Pair of Six-Shooters. A nice big stud bonus doesn't hurt either.
