This deck went 4-1 at the Copenhagen Deputy Event (10 players from Denmark, Sweden and Germany).

There isn't really a lot to say about the deck. It's bascially the old Brass Bullets deck with a new flavor. There is some differences though. 1) You don't start Allie, and thus cannot push with Control Points, you have to push with aggression and keep your opponent off their feet. 2) Worldly Desires, Longwei Fu and Auto-Revolver makes your 1-Brass dudes something akin to 3 Stud, 1 Draw (more with more A-R). This enables you to easily put down 5-of-a-kind in 'every' single shootout you take. To fully utilize this, you have the combo pieces in play from the beginning except for the Auto-Revolver and 3 Brass dudes to start taking action. If you can, Election Day Slaughter right away. It'll pressure your opponent, and it'll feel out their draw structure and amount of cheating resolution.

Apart from the occasional deed, you have Old Man McDroste, Shizeng Lu and Allie Hensman to help out with Control Points to finish off the game. The 3x Fancy New Hat also allows your small dudes to actually take over deeds, or avoid losing to fast CP.

Get in as many smaller shootouts as possible, keep your money low and your revolver ready and you got yourself a game.

53rd cards: Telepathy Helmet: Would be awesome for two reasons. Check how much Cheating Resolution you have to get through to win this round. Sack your money when needed. The game I lost, I lost partly because I couldn't find the revolver and couldn't get rid of my money.

You could also rearrange the draw structure a bit, to go full K and have the fourth EDS and FNH, both excellent cards and perhaps drop a Pat's Perch or Circle M Ranch for the Companhurst's for the mirror match (leaving Willa in the deck and start at 0 GR). I didn't feel A Slight Modification pulled it's weight, but it's still a strong card. Tack the second revolver on the dude that goes after Wendy or another card with a strong shootout ability to block it. But a fourth This'll Hurt In The Morning or even perhaps a Bounty Hunter would be equally good.
