The object is to gain victory points for acing wanted dudes in shootout or with the Lynch Mobs. It's easy to declare a dude as wanted with Warrant and Framed. As you will see, no deed in this deck has Control point on it. So, just take the deeds of your opponent ! Don't be affraid to put your own deeds in play even if you can't protect all of them : They're almost all out of town and your opponent will think twice before going and boot there. For Draw Hands, you're normally able to build a flush with clubs (29 in the deck !) with little help of Pearl Handed Revolver and Crack Shot. In Other cases, you will have a full house or at least two pairs.

Notes: Simple. Make someone wanted with warrant , use Judge Henry Warwick to go after them. With nine studs in the deck you usally win shoot outs. If you get a pearl revolver and bowie knife on nate hunter .WOHOO!! go to town. This deck has a huge amount of cp in it(19). With the ones for wanted dudes , all the better. Just sit back and ace as many high influence wanted dudes as you can while pileing up the cp and ghost rock . Then go for the win . Also nasty doc's helps you turn you cannon foder into one of you high stud dudes harrowment . Don't worry about ghost rock with all the cheap deeds you will make plenty.

Elizabeth King is essential for powering the Lynch Mob, most turns you can bring in a free or very cheap, non-unique weenie, if they have zero influence use them in the mob. The new hats are mainly for the Reverend and Charlie F so they can make 2-influence dudes wanted for VPs. I’d also say that It’s just coal is essential for a disintegrating DMH deck because a) it’s free, b) it slows your opponent down (unless they’re Sweetrock) and c) you ace it after playing it. I dropped one CUTT from the original version of the deck to reduce the chance of cheating during lowball and having the Jail/Courthouse foreclosed. Bronco Bjork and the Corral are also great for getting free roans into play to ride to those out of town deeds to arrest perps. The Cort and Jail combo worked brilliantly, the most memorable occaision was a 3-strong lynch mob taking out a wanted Nicodemus W, putting him in Jail for the bounty, which gave me enough GR to play the Courthouse and ace him, voila, 2 VPs! Why In Loving Memory? JP Coleman is dead! It’s too easy to kill JP these days, so why play with him?

This deck is a basic Law Dogs lynching deck. Stay at home and start making people wanted. Then play locations and wait for people to move so you can lynch'em! I've never played in a tournament so I don't know how this deck would fare but it's done well for me. The only thing thats this deck needs to be careful about is ghost rock. It doesn't produce a lot and it has a fair amount of upkeep, but careful play will avoid any problems. Use Elizabeth to get drifters out and quickly empty your hand to draw some wanted cards or a lynch mob or bounty hunter. When you need to, go get in a gunfight and pistol whip those outlaws home.
