If I were the one rebooting the game, this is what I would propose:
Changes that I would suggest:
• Switch to the Living Card Game (LCG or non-collectible card game) format
• Use the full Deadlands universe rather than just a small section
• Reducing the number of factions in a relaunch to the most popular factions (like say 4 to 6)
• Better interactivity
• Balance the game through better design and better playtesting
Things to look at:
• Reprint cards that were good for the game but were not broken
Things that would not change:
• Basic functionality of the game (turn structure, initiative using lowball, 52 card decks w/ maximum 2 Jokers, etc.)
• Players continue to affect story
• Story effect design
