This is what I played at the 2024 Gencon Grand Championship, taking 2nd place overall and only dropping games to Nute's Gideon-Aphra ping deck.

Compared to previous iterations of what I've affectionately called the Hobos deck, this version eschews the Riot Shield and 2x Medal of Bravery for a Veteran of War and an additional Neutralize. And in the event that the threat of charm-mill decks, I suggest taking out the Medal and Outwit for 2x Suspicion, and perhaps the 1x Greed for 1x Oola.

Congrats on 2nd place. Was there any card or dice combination you were working toward in its build?

If I understand your question correctly... you generally want to be playing Armory (draw a card) into a 2cost upgrade on Hunter (draw another card), and then ideally play a second 2cost upgrade on Bo after activating/gaining resource/Rearm.

Sabine's Saber is best on Hunter as he then can resolve his two range sides as melee with the +3melee on the saber itself.

MOB is typically for BoKatan, but it does tend to concentrate value into her dice, making her then the primary target for removal by opponent. So it's best to hold back on the Medal until you're ready to resolve her dice, and hopefully they're out of removal cards so you can get the extra value.

Z6 is typically trying to go on the non-target by the opponent, since it doesn't have redeploy. But don't get too stingy as your objective is just to burn down a dude as fast possible, which is made easier by Hunter's PA.
