From: "Andrew S. Davidson"
This deck won me the Acme tournament at Origins 2001. Its theme is the presents that the orphan boy, Timmy Derrick, gets for Christmas. Will it be a cissy toy like a Dream Catcher or will be the high-wheel bicycle that he's always wanted? The primary game plan is to get out The Lode with Avarice or "What this town needs...", defend it with dudes that can't be called out and then improve it with cards like Previous Tenant, Bulletproof Glass and Chain Gang. If this doesn't go smoothly, use your outfit ability to ace the deed and maybe try again later with Blueprints. The deck has few duplicate values and so should avoid shootouts. The good news is that it won't cheat much while Mr Bones can punish your opponent severely if he is a naughty boy.
Merry Christmas!
Andrew
