Information

discussion:
an alternative build of this deck might go the charge route (Vicious Highwayman/Bandit Queen/Whirling Duo), but I found it to feel pretty trash when your deck isn't built around a density of on-curve slingers

while it might be tempting to include more interactive spells, the ratio of creatures/equipment is too important for Answer the Call

potential changes/flex spots:
-2 Seek Power, -2 Bartholo, the Seducer, -2 Bloodletter
+4 Whirling Duo, +2 Lethrai Falchion/Inquisitor's Blade

tips:
auto concede to Hooru Pacifier, loses to praxis tokens

On the topic of answer-the-call odds, I've found it helpful to have a few copies of the red monument. You do already have a lot of depleted power though, so up to you. Has bulletshaper been good enough for you? I've played a similar deck and found that I often didn't have any spells that I wanted to discard, since so much of the deck is units and weapons.

I like the idea of playing weapons with summon abilities, so I might try something close to this deck.

yea Bulletshaper has been o.k., i was looking at it from the perspective that we really want at least 4-8 ramping effects to get us to Answer The Call and i don't think there are many other options given this shell. when it works, Bulletshaper can have some pretty nice chains like playing a Hideout Pistol on the same turn as it, or getting down another gunslinger like Stella, the Shotcaller

maybe its worthwhile to up the Copperhall Bracers numbers instead

it's really a shame there isn't a 'echo' or similar spell effect for FJS, like Unstable Form and Jotun Hurler that would allow us to include more spells while not actually including more spells.
