Gomorra's Nightlife

It's "Another Dumb Deck Idea!" from twoeyedjack!

The classic western films almost always involve a saloon or casino, drinking whiskey, someone cheats or offends someone, and then the barfight breaks out. Someone gets defenestrated. Guns get drawn. Cards go flyin'. You get the picture.

This deck is entirely themed around the western saloon and casino trope.

No real strategy on how to win the durn game, just have fun telling a good story about the time some stranger walked into the place and a fight broke out.

Really. There's no solid draw structure here outside of a bell curve straight flush in clubs. It is literally a storytelling deck using as much of the theme as possible.

Even includes the haunted bar trope by using Ol' Howard to grab The Joker's Smile, then Buford Hurley and Clementine Lepp head on over. Ulysses Marks will wait for a better saloon. He hates ghosts. (And his trait doesn't work while Ol' Howard is around.)

You could plop in the mysterious Idol of Tlazolteotl to try to move Ol' Howard to a better resting place on the other side of the street, and I had originally put two of them in here for that purpose. Then I decided to add a couple more grifter dudes to the deck.

You could also add Hot Lead Flyin' if you feel like it. I didn't feel like it.

Having a Shotgun behind the bar might also add to the theme.

I guess the best option in a shootout is to try to get your opponent to cheat, allowing you to take advantage of one of the many cheatin' effects contained herein. If you choose to go that route, I would suggest swapping out Lady Luck for Make 'em Sweat to further reduce the opponent's bullets, making them cheat just that much more likely. Quickdraw Handgun could allow you to swap out a high card hand for a cheatin' full house. Its effect also protects you after using the home ability. Or you could Bottom Dealin' them from a cheatin' four into two pair. Maybe there's a snake in their boot and they end up dying from Coachwhip! Plenty of ways to muck about.

Go on. Have a night out on the town and experience Gomorra's Nightlife. "Another Dumb Deck Idea!" by twoeyedjack. Have fun!
