I'm pretty sure Bounty is just the best card in the format, and Raider Flamer isn't far behind, so it was pretty natural to throw them into a deck. The rest of the deck is just a natural progression from that starting point.

Puppet Dictator was my attempt to defend against the Ambush characters that are super common in the format. It can't be assassinated by a single character on its own. It's also a solid character while attacking since it protects ALL of the attackers against a single lethal interceptor.

Claws and Hammer Harrison are just solid characters that don't trade down very often.
