This is just a slight revision to my previous deck with the same name.
Seamus O'Toole got replaced by Len Nuanez Explorer's Lodge got replaced by Scout's Rest Ranch
Tournament report (as my terrible memory lets me recall):
Round one: I got the bye, so I wandered around a bit to relax and shop.
Round two: Against J. Jester (not JayJester...apologies for forgetting your first name).
Really solid Saved By Grace deck that managed to just get momentum and never let up. I just couldn't quite find the cards to get ahead...plus having to cheat at a few critical times sealed the match.
Round Three against DeVon's Deadwood Miner's Alliance deck.
DeVon's Outlaw decks are always something to be feared, but I knew I'd have to fight him right away, and I managed to get a few gadgets that actually helped me out early on. We traded some bullets early, but it took forever to get a decisive shootout (and it wasn't until the last day that I actually found a deed finally).
Round Four: Tony's 108 Gracious Gifts deck.
My deck really never got off the ground, and an early DMH in a fight definitely gave me pause, which didn't help me getting momentum at any point.
At this point, I was pretty sure I wasn't making the cut...until I found out that my strength of schedule barely eeked out (thanks Prodigy!).
Semi-Finals: A Rematch with Tony.
I was pretty sure this wasn't going to go well, but I was finally learning my lesson on when to actually start fighting with my deck. I managed to pull some really solid gadgets to start, and a few dudes, and squatted on his deeds, denying him income to build up. Thankfully, that kept the pressure up until I could wear him down, and I managed to pull out a victory.
Finals vs. DeVon:
Two back to back rematches was making me worried, but my deck again decided to grace me with two very solid gadgets on the first day. The first shootout set the tone, where I ate both jokers to pull off a legal 5oaK. DeVon never saw a single dude show up for him after that, and then it was just a game of trying to pick off his dudes before he could pick off mine, and I managed to pull off just enough legal hands to make it work.

Well played, and congratulations again!
I didn't realize I helped your SoS, but glad it worked out that way - I don't think anyone was more "due" for this kind of win than you
