My quest to try and find a Sloane deck that i don't think would be better with either Den of Thieves or Desolation Row leads me to strange place. A non Shoutout oriented deck seems a good fit, so here's a Sloane Slide deck!

Thanks to Swider for some great ideas already. You basically start with Joker Smile and put Clementine there. Since she can't be called out, you start using your box to generate gold. With that gold, you drop deeds and dudes and empty your hand, accumulating points and influence, until as ever you can drop your Nicodemus on a Whateley estate, bow a bunch of guys and score ! That's the (fragile) theory anyway.
A fair number of attire should help boosting your generally lackluster influence, few actions to avoid having them stuck in your hand, with Pistol Whip and Flight of the Lepus for protection during shootouts, and One Good Turn and Buried Treasure for the cycle.
I play two Heretic Joker to make Lowball wins more likely, knowing that i can cycle them for profit with Joker's Smile.
Advices and good ideas welcomed !!
