This is my Law Dog shooter deck. I welcome any comments/edit if you think it can be improved.

Basic premise - Win shootouts!

Samson = Star: Samson + Jael's Guile + Deputize (Home Ability) = 3 Stud 2 INF for 1 GR or Samson + Rapier + Deputize = 5 Stud for 1 GR None of this takes into account if he also has a Miracle. (+1 with home ability & +2 with the Guile) Get into a shootout with Samson and Tommy (hopefully one or both has the Guile or Rapier) Faster on the draw and Unprepared are there to turn the total bullets in your favor. Outgunned and/or Tommy can take you from a legal full house/four of a kind (easy with this deck) to a legal Straight Flush or Dead Man's Hand (i.e. I have a full house, they cheat, Tommy automatically raises my hand to Straight Flush and Outgunned takes me to a DMH).
Other scenarios include Unprepared booting a dude and if he cheats in a shootout you could kill him with the Guile even if you loss. (The rules team has confirmed that if a dude is already booted (and in this scenario there are only 1-2 dudes in the opposing posse) then he must be aced, or at the very least he will have to boot and ace a dude. I haven't even mentioned Holy Roller and Sword of the Spirit...it is obvious how they work in this deck and give me additional paths to ensure i am a 3-4 stud with two different dudes in every shootout and hopefully that is enough to use Outgunned two ensure victory. I have considered starting with the Jail, but let me know what you think.

I understand a lot sounds like it depends on them cheating but Outgunned does not require them to cheat, only that I have more bullets. Them cheating only increases my hand rank.

Solid, only no way to force a call out!

Agreed. Any suggestions? I was thinking about replacing Nightmare at Noon with Election Day Slaughter, and replacing 2 Buried Treasures with Recruitment Drive.

EDS, Kidnappin are about the best options. Recruitment drive ain't bad. I'd consider running Abram if you do that so you have a nice target to get out on the cheap.
