Deck principle is as straightforward as I could make it, if it wasn’t I’d only
forget to do stuff. Big stud with Sidekick and A.I. Bullets attached in the
town square, Stoker Knicknevin-ing as much as possible. Bullets get rid of any
major threats, sidekick provides backup, bites Death’s Heads and gets aced if
I lose by one. Otherwise, I’ll take the fight if I stand a chance of winning.
The Ghost is the obvious start for this because of the ability; Goldstein
writes stories to provides 3 inf if there’s a fight; with 8 callouts there
should be enough to write home about.
I’d start Slate, Josef and Goldstein against harrowed hosers; The Ghost just
becomes too much of a risk here, lots of influence and not as good a shooter
as Slate or Cort XP.
Shootout wise the deck’s stacked for 2s and 5s, so 4 kind, full house early
on. With 3 stud from the Ghost it pulls at least a full house most of the
time.
In two player games it tends to do well, but it does need more playtesting.
What we wanna know is, is this an Agency deck worthy of playing with at a
competitive level?
