Information

Common Cause is an undeniably powerful tool, and one that I need to explore more fully. This is an attempt to exploit it in order to play Bandit Queen in essentially a straight Rakano Gunslingers list. Nothing too fancy, right?

I also got pretty experimental with the rest of the powerbase, going with a 0 seat/0 sigil approach! Is this the best way to go about it? Maybe, maybe not, but I wanted to try!

So far the results have been pretty good, but I'm not convinced the deck is any better than Burn Queen or Rakano Gunslingers... but it's close! Those are strong decks to measure up to, and this has some real implications for tourney play as you get a much more robust toolbox for the sideboard.

I love this deck. It is working really well. Reinvigorate is SO GOOD, I actually added another in place of Katans. I love surprise blocking with Whirling Duo and gaining 6 life.

I think your lack of Stella is criminal!

He's running a TOTAL of actual weapons in the deck. Why/how would Stella be any good in this?

I could say the same thing about Rooftop Vigilante, but if you wanna get into it 73% of the creatures here are Gunslingers, Stella buffs Gunslingers, and he's running 4 weapons, so why not more weapons + Stella? It's not like 3 faction aggro will ever be able to compete with the more consistent 2 faction decks anyways, so have some fun.

I really like this deck but I've been finding the mana base very awkward. It's very hard to get double red and double green at the same time and so I've been adjusting the mana base - I added one more crest of chaos and removed an emerald waystone (as I felt I wasn't hitting double red consistently) but I still don't think it's really done enough.

I've otherwise found the deck very strong but those games I lose to having an uncastable bandit queen or plate in my hand do hurt the winrate quite a bit.

Yea, I think ultimately I will have to fully rebuild the powerbase, as it feels like the deck really wants those rakano seats. Again this was more of a venture into figuring out what can/can't work with all these new tools available to us, and I think I've learned a lot in terms of that so far with this deck!

I've had a go at reworking the power base if you'd like to have a look:

I dropped the 26th land for the 3rd ornate katana since I felt it wasn't as necessary with good mana, though that could be a mistake and I could potentially have a seek power instead. I'd love to hear your feedback on my version of the power base!
