The goal of this deck is to leverage the inherent Bless generation that Skids has access to, alongside a combination of Rogue's Curse generation and Skeptic in order to maximize the .35 Winchester's extra damage.

Priest of Two Faiths, Radiant Smite, Riastrad, Righteous Hunt, Faustian Bargain, Tempt Fate, and Justify the Means all ensure that the chaos bag will be fully stocked with Blesses and Curses by the time your .35 Winchester, Favor of the Moon, and Favor of the Sun are out and active.

This deck also manages to take full advantage of "Lucky" Penny, a criminally under-utilized card. If not for the 'during your turn' clause, Eye of the Djinn would be an auto-include for its stat boosts as well as passive protection during the Mythos phase, but alas.

Sacred Covenant works fantastically with the .35 Winchester, netting you the additional damage on top of keeping the bag full of good tokens for your companions.

Charon's Obol allows you to reach your core build of Skeptic, Favor of the Moon, Favor of the Sun, and Justify the Means as early as possible.

Some fun potential inclusions to this deck are Tristan Botley, who would plop out extraordinarily easily with your favors, and Eye of the Djinn for more passive stat boosts, allowing you to take on more of a flex role. Charisma and any combination of Venturer, Tetsuo Mori, and/or Delilah O'Rourke will net you more passive benefits to being in the thick of combat, letting you score more ammo on your Winchesters, letting you find them easier, or simply letting you beat the piss out of some rats with the extra money you will be accruing over time.

Nice deck! Could you elaborate more on the choice of Skids over Leo, who has essentially the same access (plus higher level guardian stuff) or Parallel Skids front?

@Grahamideally I would have a clever answer here, but the real reason I didn't go with Leo is that I tend to forget he exists. Justify the Means is quite a nice card in this deck, but I could easily see this deck being built with Leo, and taking advantage of Venturer and other high-level Guardian cards.

As for Parallel Skids front, this deck is extremely low on the curve, and generates a decent amount of resources off of Faustian Bargain and Favor of the Moon. I believe that having access to a resource sink such as Skids' face action is more of a boon than the free test and potential resources presented by Parallel Skids.
