Lillian's Buddies (Lynnwood Sheriff 1st Place, 3-0)

Well, we had a pretty small turnout for a Sheriff event with only 8 people (meaning only 3 rounds of Swiss), but this is the deck that took it down. Basically the game plan is to make Lillian as annoying as possible. You'll start out with only 2 ghost rock and no income, but you can use your outfit to play a deed for free every turn off Lillian, so you can snowball pretty quick. If they try to come after her, she can bring in all her friends and some Hired Help besides. That plus Fetch makes her very resilient in shootouts. Give her Shadow Walk and she can bounce all over the board to steal your opponent's deeds, or teleport into a fight and bring the whole rest of your board with her.

Initially you'll want to play defensively, since your only starting stud is Jacqueline Isham. Once you get Lillian powered up a little with some hexes and some backup studs, you can start using her 5 influence to steal deeds all by herself. You can put enough bodies on the table and have enough casualty mitigation with Fetch that you can easily win shootouts through sheer attrition.

The biggest problem with the deck is that if Lillian gets taken out, that's pretty much game. Forget and Unprepared can both take out her ability to call for backup and leave her vulnerable. Hired Help works in a pinch and Hiding in the Shadows stops Unprepared (as well as Pinned Down), but the best solution is to either win lowball or keep Lillian off to the side waiting to Shadow Walk in. Pearly's Palace. Coachwhip! is a huge problem but there's not much you can do except play around it if you think your opponent might have it or hope Tyxarglenak eats it instead. I've been lucky enough not to come across it so far.

The two biggest MVPs in the deck were fairly recent adds - The Town Hall and Sarah Meoquanee. Town Hall is an effective 5 GR production if Lillian sits there, and Sarah is a cheap body who can teleport to Lillian's side as a scary 3-stud.

If there's one thing the deck really needs it's more cheap dudes in the 7/10 slots. The J slot could be swapped out as it's a holdout from when the deck had a much tighter draw structure and ran Forget, but the dudes and deeds are both pretty solid at J. But a lot of the dudes it has to run for the draw structure are kind of overpriced for how poor the deck can be early on. Lane Healey (Exp.1), I'm looking at you.
