Law Dogs Self Bounty Silas
AdmiralGT 147
This deck is built around getting a Stud Silas with plenty of bounty and having a 5+ stud shooter in any fight. Built around 8s (x16) and 5s (x15) with a backup 7s (x10) it should pull Full House or better pretty consistently.
There are multiple ways in order to increase Silas' bounty. Firstly, the Law Dogs home ability booting either Philip or Clementine. B&B Attorneys once you've got a bounty, The Evidence for a quick boost, Hunter Protections or This is a Holdup once you've got some movement and Kidnappin' when you want to start fights. Basically, all the cards in the Silas Aims review.
However, as a backup you've got some standard Law Dogs wanted punishment. Clyde, Wylie and Judge Harry can hunt wanted dudes if the self bountying hasn't worked or if you're just not seeing Silas and you can annoy people with Bounty Hunter and hopefully get some lucky pulls.
Its strength however is also its weakness. Silas is a prime target for Pistol Whip/Wendy or numerous Hexes. With Tommy offering the only real cheating punishment if you can work around him it can be difficult to win against other shooting decks.

@mplain I haven't found B&B Attorneys too crucial in the games I've played so far. In fact in my last game my opponent controlled my copy for most of the game! You're always getting 1 a turn from the outfit ability and a couple of quick Evidence's can get you up to 5 pretty quickly. Hiding in the Shadows is a good call. I don't find too much use for Pistol Whip in this deck so that could make a difference. My only problem with Mortimer Parsons is that it reduces my income to 1 per turn which may harm playing lots of goods. I might try it to see how it goes. |

A fun idea, though! I can imagine the tongue-in-cheek conversations the Law Dogs are having: "You see? Silas is the culprit! We've gotta... arrest him! Boy, is he wanted! We just really... he's in big trouble, that's all I gotta say!" (Whistles, looks the other way while Silas crosses the street) |

I ran a deck like this with Shotguns and Legendary Holsters... got Silas into a ton of fights and got his bounty real high. Was shotgunning kings. Best game ever. |

Pistol whip in conjunction with the job ability of Judge Harry Somerset is a killer combo! |
B&B Attorneys seems to be crucial to the overall strategy, maybe increase the number of copies to 2-3?
Maybe replace 2-3 copies of Pistol Whip with Hidin' in the Shadows to protect Silas?
You could go even further and replace Clem and Lucy with Mortimer Parsons and 2x Telepathy Helmet.
