Plus in Underworld, as a ganger he's a prime candidate for LotP and
Trogs. (Or trade off Trogs for Razorheads and give him his Katana for
free.)

With Glitz/Thrash, you just watch out for Shady Manager and Price of
Fame. If you like Moonlighting, you're gonna love Shakedown.

See my above comments about Katanas and Razorheads.

Love these things too. However, Passkey ain't the only way around
them: Steamroller, Jinx, Jinx Spirit and Big Rig are other options.
(Haven't seen any of these in too many Big Bully decks though).

Pumpable

Here I disagree. I just find him too expensive, but then my current
deck is elven so I haven't used him recently.

A staple in my elven deck. What's really great is to get DP and a
Harley Scorpion on Redline, then once Ancients is out she's a 7/5 (A4)
fraggin' elf!

Got one coming in a trade, plan to try it out in the current deck.

'nuff said. ;o)

sleazed.

I've posted before why I love this one. Plus Objectives that add to
Body make it even better: it grows to 18 damage on Turf War, 20 on
Fort Knocks or Street Wars...
