Makeshift Handgun costs 2 Souls and is a red Gear. In deck building, it functions as a removal or board-control tool.

QuestionRecommendationReason

Best deck

Red decks that convert Materials and direct damage into pressure and need another way to remove or soften opposing Pals.

Use the card where its printed effect supports the deck's existing plan.

Copies to test

Start with 2 copies; add a third only when the deck can use this permanent reliably every game.

Adjust only after recording how often it is useful in real opening and midgame hands.

How to play Makeshift Handgun

Place Makeshift Handgun on the curve where its 2-Soul cost does not block the deck's next important play.
Resolve the deploy ability before combat, then use the changed board state to choose attacks and assignments.
Use the Gear on the turn its ongoing or activated text improves a real combat exchange, not only because Souls are available.

Watch for: Do not judge the card only by its best-case effect. Compare the Soul cost, required target and opportunity cost with another card at the same point on the curve.
