Deck Overview

Most Duncan decks earn the nickname “Machine Decks” because they’re designed to throw out multiple attacks every turn, grinding opponents down through sheer volume.
But what if you took Duncan in a different direction?
Enter Duncan MacLeod Killer Precision Deck*.
This build focuses on limiting your opponent’s defenses and playing one Killer Precision or Stalk per turn—an Unblockable/Undodgeable attack that consistently will deal 4 to 7 damage if successful.
The setup starts fast. Open the game with Charlie DeSalvo in play, then on turn one use Gathering to grab The Tonga Kid, boosting your Strength Gem attacks by 1. From there, Master’s Dodge becomes a key piece—not just for defense but because it adds another +1 to your attack damage. Combine all of that with The Kurgan Q, and suddenly a single Killer Precision can land for 7 damage as early as turn one.
This deck has 4 Killer Precisions and 1 Stalk. All are Unblockable and Undodgeable attacks. **Note the Connor MacLeod Killer Precision will not be UB and UD, but if you play it after a Master's Dodge and use Alertness with it, it will be a 5 point Martial Arts attack that cannot be dodged. Not many decks run that many Alertness. One or two should get through.
It might seem like there are a lot of Special Cards in this deck, but 2 will be in play/put into play on turn 1. Dawn of Time allows you to cycle and play an additional Special Card that turn so you can use that the same turn you play Darius with a Killer Precision.
