This started out as an attempt to see if after four sets there were enough monofire gunslingers to make a not-terrible synergy deck, but then I realized while searching for 3 drop gunslingers to fill out the curve that Vadius has a gun in his artwork apparently.
The gameplan is to drop slingers on-curve and then play weapons with summon effects that blow up their blockers, then swing for berserk and/or double damage. Groundbreakers are in here because I had a playset but had never actually built a deck with a powerbase that could consistently cast one on time (and I wanted another source of QUAD DAMAGE), so maybe these should be champs or something?
Tips if you decide to actually build this pile:
- Don't, Skycraggro or Gunslinger Midrange are both way better than this
- Influence priority is F -> FP -> FFP -> FFFP. The only time you'd need FF on turn 2 is if you're playing sick mind games by pretending to be some insane monofire deck that's running rampant on the ladder or you need to drop two uncrafted longbarrels on a ronin to swing for 6 on turn 2, and in either case please tell me what meta you are playing in and how I can get there
- Quickdraw Outlaw's ability is repeatable
- Hellfire Oni's ability is NOT
- Hotbarrel Revolver's summon effect causes the CREATURE to do damage, so you can get 6 summon damage off it if you play it on Milos (or, if you're feeling lucky, punk, on Groundbreaker)
- Longbarrel's Spellcraft has no interaction with double damage (the spell does the damage), but if you have 7 power you CAN doublecraft it with Hellfire Oni for 4 damage
- A single aegis will stop both Hellfire Oni and Quickdraw Outlaw's cumulative weapon summon effects if you stack the damage on a single aegis'd target
- PSA: Oni Ronin is NOT a gunslinger
