This deck was undefeated after 3 games during the servitor 2017 tournament at BD Cosmos in Montreal, Canada. The goal of the deck is pretty straight forward and it is to win with control point by trying to exhaust your enemy. To do this, you will need to put a lot of pressure on your opponent by putting some deeds and trying to take control of their deeds so the opponent will need to split up his dude to try to contest every deed. For mobility, you have cards like Asakichi Cooke and Rabbit's Lunar Leap to help you move around the board. Longwei Fu makes the deck really strong by making all your small dude stronger and really helps you win small fight which are crucial for controlling the board and getting rid of dude with a lot of influence. Rabbit's deception is an excellent tool to get rid of the big dude in your opponent board and return him home booted. A cute combo is bringing Longwei Fu in your posse with rabbit's Lunar Leap and combo with Rabbit’s Deception and return the big dude from the opponent posse home booted. Faithful Hound is there to get rid of all the goods that can prevent the opponent from moving and is also good to soak damage. The deck is generally making a lot of money and I haven't really encountered any money issue. The main force of this deck is having 6 dudes and that 4 of them have influence so you can be almost everywhere to contest all the deeds. Benjamin Washington and Yunxu Jiang are good to take up small fight because of the Longwei Fu ability. Loosing them in a shootout is not dramatic and makes you able to fight those small character that are sometimes good influence for the opponent. Randall is also a good way to have more cards for drawing your technique and is also good influence. The deck also have a really tight hand structure and I haven't really gotten in shootout where I got a hand rank lower than a full house.
The tournament part :
First game of the tournament was against a beyond the veil deck where I won after some good fight with my character.
Second game was against the Law Dog core outfit with Jasper Stone where I won by spreading her Wendy all around the town and by picking off his Lucinda "Lucy" Clover exp.2 and then by winning with control point.
Last game of the tournament was probably the hardest and it was against a Protection Racket deck with Raven. I managed to deny a lot of his economy by taking control of his deeds quite early and win small fight that made me able to win the game over exhaustion. I even managed to force him to pull "It's Not What You Know..." from a Benjamin Washington calling out his small influence dude. During the same turn, I used the opportunity that he used his cards to take a bigger fight, that I won without getting punished by cheatin'resolution. This is how I won the tournament.

Congratulations! Thanks for taking the time to post the deck and the thinking behind it. Liked the commentary on forcing your opponent to use a cheatin' resolution on a cheap dude and then being able to cheat freely in a larger, decisive shootout. Longwei Fu really helps here. :)
Like the inclusion of the Faithful Hound to stop things like Pedro.
Anything you'd change or weaknesses you feel the deck has?
Well done again!
