Can be a very fast deck with the right draw. Two Foundations and a Training sequence can trigger turn one Heroic Shoulder Wound. Heroic Drunk can also trigger Heroic Shoulder wound just by attacking. Training sequence protects foundations from initial damage from Heroic Drunk. Tom Baxter and Baxter's Irregulars take the damage and get better. Reinforcements can potentially grab a hitter, power gen, or your unturn. Extra fighting or damage from your foundations can add up quickly to a really menacing board presence. Big Joe searchable if you have a Scrapper in play and you just need a big fighter to end the game. Requires no talent resources. Push the attack early because when you run out of steam, it's hard to pick up speed again.
