Note: There are probably some better cards to use, but I am working with what I currently own

The basic idea is to starve the opposition of money. With cards such as Plasma Drill, Tummy Twister, and This is a Holdup!. All of those will steal or prevent an opponent from gaining Ghost Rock. No GR = no dudes or deeds. Whatever dudes may come out there will be no GR to pay for upkeep, so at that point steal them away with Backroom Deals in order to use their own cards against them.

I don't know if Sloane or Fourth Ring is better for this kind of deck. I'm waffling back and forth at the moment. I haven't had a chance to try this, but I plan on putting it together and putting it through it's paces. Let me know what you all think!

Mar 04, 2016 Prodigy I would highly suggest original sloane or den of thieves instead of Des Row for economic damage. You need to have your dudes available to sit on their deeds at all times, and going home booted after a job doesn't allow for that. That said, I like the idea. I gave a similar deck a try once but really struggled against any shooty/aggressive deck. I haven't been able to make it work, but let me know if you have any luck and what changes you make. (also, 2 x california tax office instead of 2 jacksons strike is good in this type of deck as well - in my deck I had 3 tax offices just because of how good they can be)
Mar 30, 2016 BreakingPoint0 I got a chance to (finally!) play this on Monday. It worked out fairly well in that it hung in there. It failed in that it didn't do what it was supposed to do. I got the cards but the deck I was playing wasn't the ideal deck to play this against =P They didn't play any deeds until the end, and at that point it was too late. Lost, I think, all but one lowball due to bad shuffling on may part(consistently pulled 3 of a kinds to his two pair). All in all just a bad match up and helped me see a glaring hole. There is definitely something here, but I need to re-work it a bit. I'm going to make some updates and post a new deck list.
