Elevator pitch

Second tier synergy deck, with hilarious amount of oomph and jank. Your first turn is something you want to train/test for in the app a lot.

Fun

I killed a main scenario boss on turn 3. I made moves that were healing, dealing, moving and clueving. All that on solo. I had 6-card setups and still had some money left.

What's strong?

Turn 1 Backpack with Schoffner's Catalogue. That's about it. That settles it. The rest is pure fun. But don't worry if you're having a rather regular 3 card setup. You'll be OK anyways probably.

What's weak?

Obviously some sub-optimal choices that are here just to fuel synergy. Grisly Totem and Tennessee Sour Mash are among them. But their not too terrible either. I found myself having a sip just for courage surprisingly often.

I wouldn't play the deck on hard. Outside of Gang Up and Last Chance it will not be able to deliver consistently.

How to pilot?

Drop everything that is not an item. Also drop doubling items. E.g. it's OK to have just one blade and one keyring. You don't need both.

How to start a campaign with it?

Second Winging It, Perception, Overpower, second Knife. Maybe even some Track Shoes to use occasionally with Last Chance and don't loose to much on tests. Essentially tailor that to the first scenario of your chosen campaign.

Don't go that way... I tried

You don't want to have items competing for slots. That's why Cherished Keepsake or Bandolier are a no-no. Sorry. Been there. It's awkward.

schoffner and backpack do not work with geared up if that is your intention in your first turn

Well, it's obviously the gimmick here. Would you care to explain? :)

it is all in the thread of "geared up".. a lengthy discussion...basically you can only trigger reactions after all items have been put into play by geared up...so your backpack triggers after your geared up resolution is done...

Good news for @Onetribe and fans of this deck: FFG addressed this just three days ago, and the planned official errata make clear this synergy is legal. See the Geared Up page for details.
