Wendy and the Bounty Hunters

Hope Xiong "Wendy" Cheng at least got to do some cool stuff. :)

Pondering what could help here: perhaps redrafting the starting posse? Some combination of two of Johnny Brocklehurst, Clementine Lepp and Jake Smiley could work well, replacing Andrew Burton and Lucinda "Lucy" Clover, frequently coming to a similar cost but without upkeep?

@HarlathI Think the same. The starting upkeep hurt me. But the only thing I had on the table, when I started to construct the deck was Xiong "Wendy" Cheng and Lucinda "Lucy" Clover whom I wanted to start with for thematic reasons. So theme was always more important than winning, and from there it was just trying to male it work somehow. And while that is probably not the right mindset for entering tournaments, I never doubt that the far better players will win over me anyways.

Always love seeing theme decks, and straight flush! I hope you had a good time at the event.

This seems like a solid base for a Bounty Hunter deck, but I'm going to guess that you had a lot of economy problems. I would recommend cutting 1st Baptist Church for Mausoleum or Yan Li's Tailoring, and trying to find room for Charlie's Place and maybe Epitaph Branch Office. If you wanted to go a little bit off-structure, B & B Attorneys and/or The Gomorra Gazette have the potential to generate a ton of cash in conjunction with the Law Dogs shenanigans.

You might also consider finding room for some number of Takin' Ya With Me, maybe cutting some of the Point Blanks? I have never really want to see more than one Point Blank at a time in a deck like this, but Takin' Ya With Me works just fine in multiples.

I'm also going to second @Harlath's suggestions, retooling your starting posse to be more cost efficient might make all the difference.

Best moment with the deck was first game, second turn, drawing a straight flush for lowball. That sorts set the tone ;)

@RNashYou are right about the tight economy. It was tight, and I had serious problems even winning lowball. I did think about the Takin' Ya With Me, but 1) I have some faint recollection of some erata/clarification on the card, that I didnt quite remember how was solved (and I dont like to bring cards to tournaments that I not to sure about). 2) I have heard lot of players talking negatively about the “win by loosing” strategy, and do not want to be “that guy”. But yes, onde game was totaly lost because I got stuck with two Point Blank on the hand that I couldn`t get rid off.

How about Xiong "Wendy" Cheng, Lucinda "Lucy" Clover, Agent Provocateur, Willa Mae MacGowan, and Henry Moran.

This leaves you with 7 ghost rock if you lose lowball, which you simply "earmark" for your first / second deed to get your economy going!

@jordan caldwellThanks for the feedback. I will try the suggested starting posse next time I play. Hope it will help my deck.

Cool!

Curious how it ends up working out for you.

That said, whenever I start Agent Provocateur, I like to keep in my deck at least a few good candidates that she can turncoat into... for example Hattie DeLorre or Tommy Harden are excellent double agents.
