Notes:

Tom Kassel used this deck in the multi-player tournament at EuroGencon 96 and tied for first place with it. I didn't see this in action so here are Tom's notes on the deck:
This deck is my first stab at a Both Guns Blazing weapons deck. For simplicity, I left it single faction but will experiment with other faction combinations as time goes on. Monarchs are probably the first to try with Spirit Pole and Thunder Sword. The Gonzo Journalist was misplaced in a single faction deck, there being neither much benefit from nor need for his ability. He'll stay when other factions come in though. The Redeemed Gunman didn't do much - worthwhile as extra 1 point resource providers but only useful once all five Friends are included. I playtested the deck solitaire mostly two player and it proved a pretty fast killer. I added the big hitters for multi-player tournament purposes.
