[EDS] Legendary Owens
lonewolf 40
This is an hybride between Jekmak's "The Qiuick & the Dead" deck and my personal Legendary LD. I loved my Legendary but still thought the Clyde Owen could improve it. In my deck I used to set up with Wilye/Olivia Jenks's family + Travis and Philip as 1st version, then a traditional Wendy/Tommy/Philip/Grifter for more impact in shootout. I decided to switch to a Clyde set up to have a really easy match up against some passive set up decks. The main idea is to add a shotgun to Clyde, shoot out T1 for at least 1 or more kills without even drawing hands. Shotgun should be enough, but Legendary is such an impressive card that I add it to be able to completely return games that shouldn't be won so easily as for a single pull. I so tried to minimize higher values: actually 9 (8 since you would play a Legendary when you will look for values). In my Legendary build I add only 4 Q then only 3 or less values, but lack the power of a good set up like with a Clyde, and IsWYK didn't provided effectively what Clyde's ability can provide.
Main questions here is about some choices of cards: - Back Ways: I like the idea but I played Make the Smart Choice and loved the way I was sniping some dudes with the Holster then go home and wait for another sniping later. In a few turns and without taking any risk at all, you deplete your opponent's board. - War Paint, an extra value card that is necessary as there is too much cards out of Holster Range. Kidnapping could take the slot but that would lead directly to Jekmak deck, added 2 Holster. - Town Hall: very expensive deed, I would prefer to run more cheaper deeds like maybe a Town Council ?

I played 4 Holster un earlier version but on fact you are OK with Shotgun in early play. Travis is cool on this deck with his 2 bullet ! Can be a second shooter. For Pony you're right. I was thinking of thé Hall for a Judge, but games are fi'ished before you even play it ! As I say Smart Choice is un my version without Clyde. Back Ways un this one. I really love thé 2 o'them. Maybe mixing it 2x2 !^^ |
I really want to work another Holster in there somewhere, just to increase the odds of seeing one in the opening hand. Would also allow you to maybe even cut Travis to get more GR on the table at the start of the game without winning having to win lowball. You're already playing Gomorra Parish, so once you slam one on Clyde you can start acing the rest.
Back Ways is a neat trick once Clyde inevitably becomes wanted, but Make the Smart Choice is probably a more versatile card in the long run; you can play it on Clyde to run home after a Holster pull or to neuter an opposing shooter. The deck is also super weak to Coachwhip, so being able to pull out of shootouts we don't want to be in after acing one dude seems good here.
I'm a bit worried about money here. You have just enough to drop a Holster early and then you're broke. Some more cheap deeds would be useful. Pony Express is only 1 cheaper than the Town Hall, but it lets us cycle through the deck and either ace our high cards with Parish or just put the high-value cards in the hand so we don't pull them.
