Lillian's Run (Sci Fi City - Deputy 12/13/2015 1st Place,3-0
LordSmada 37
A modified Morgan Cattle Co. deck that utilizes Lillian first and foremost to control the board. Use Shadow Walk to get her around and to help her bring friends to bear. Sarah Meoquanee is an instant shootout join and favorite backup. Yes the income can be hard to swallow, but by turn 3 you should hopefully have a few deeds out and your ghost rock will flow nicely. This deck does great against anyone who they themselves are working on a long term game. Against Desolation Row, play defensively and watch out for Ambush. Hiding in Shadows when you have Lillian out protecting your Deeds.
The first games in this tournament both went to time but with a starting influence of 7, I ended overall with 9 influence and 6 control points to win the first game. Second game went to time as well but I won straight out with control points in the final noon battles. Utilizing Tyxarglenak to protect Lillian from all but Ambush. Great deck to counter those looking for a massive town square shoot out just because. Other tip use Fetch wisely!
Thank you to the gang over at Sci Fi City, Orlando for a great tournament! It was a blast!

For those that have not ever played this type of deck before, it replies on starting income to be from Morgan Cattle Co.'s special ability. Utilizing Lillian as your influence token and you can buy anything up to 5 ghost rock for free. This may worry you since now Lillian is exposed, but generally speaking, you will have enough fire power with your starters to dissuade even Sloan decks from coming out shooting too fast. Slap a shadow walk onto Lillian ASAP and she's got more mobility. Not to mention her own special ability with ghost rock and a hired help card and you really can hold your own off the start. So utilize Lillian to get your town growing and your ghost rock will flow quickly. I have yet to have a problem and by turn 3, I am usually making an income of about 4 or 5 ghost rock. So I can do whatever I need to make the game work for me. I really love this deck because the movement phase of High Noon becomes even more exaggerated. Chess is one of my favorite games and as such, this maneuvering phase will keep you thinking and planning several moves ahead of the game. Keep Lillian stacked with Shadow walk, Fetch, and Paralysis Mark to keep her running the board. So far, I have not had any other deck take her out. Thank you for your question Nazull. |

Oh, on a side note, if for some reason, someone decides to go seeking Lillian, utilize Tyxarglenak to keep her safe. The only time I saw this as a problem was when "T" didn't have a bounty and Lillian did, I forget which card ability was played but it forced Lillian and their shooter into a fight because of the lack of bounty (it would have been illegal for "T" to fight the fight). It wasn't an action card but a dude's special ability. |

Nice to see somebody else winning with my idea! It may not be the best deck out there but damn it's fun to play. I'm probably too scared of Coachwhip to play the devils jokers though :p |

I love this deck. I don't see Coachwhip a lot down here in Florida... not sure why, but people just don't throw it around. Too many folks experimenting with Eagle Wardens. |

Hey! I was your round 2 opponent in this tournament (Desolation Row). Just wanted to say it's a sweet deck, and I hope you come back for another event sometime. Since you're not playing any spirits, what role is Bloody Teeth intended to play in this deck? |

He's a 10 dude and fills in that card type. Being Harrowed he can cover two casualties and honestly, I like that dude versus other value 10 dudes. Doris Powell could be good swap but preferences! |

Just as an update to this deck, it has now won 2 Deputy tournaments (both 2015 kits). It absolutely decimated a Tattoo man deck (If I can find the link I'll post it) in 15 minutes. Got lucky with the draws and made short work of the clowns. |

This was the Tattoo man deck: dtdb.co So there is potential to cut this deck of short. The tattoo man had two hexes and was poised to bring down Lillian... until I unprepared him ;) Just be smart with your plays and bring the pain. In the end, I had a devil's hand ranked draw because I drew 5 of a kind to include the devil's joker. It was vicious but my buddy Mike did a great job of playing that deck in the previous game. A word to anyone building Ink-onceivable, think about the draw structure and potential problems with control points. |

Tired this deck at a tournament last weekend and didn't do very well. First game I played against another Morgan deck that got a nice deed slide going yet oddly I was never able to draw more than two deeds the whole game?! Bad luck! The next match was against a very aggro 108 that sent everything at me in the first turn and killed off all of my dudes one-by-one. |
The original idea for this deck can also be found at: dtdb.co
Credit where credit is due. Pathojin was the initial author. I changed out the jokers, and added the Quarantine Tent instead of hunter's protection to help churn out deeds faster. By all means utilize Hunter's Protection if you're in need of some control points. This is a fun deck to run with.
