I totally understand people not playing Elmore. Because of his upkeep and cost, he's really not startable. Very often he's not worth playing, to barely worth playing because there isn't much bounty on opponents dudes. He does nothing for you in taking back deeds and earning the bounty by taking out opponents wanted dudes. He can be really great economy, but it's pretty rare that happens...
Except, there is one deck. A deck that makes the very rare situation making him great very common. Blessed Dogs Slide. Confession and Amazing grace make miracles worth playing with slide. Say you pump up a dudes bounty with a Confession and Outfit Ability, getting their bounty to, say, 3. If you have the GR to play him, he can then boot to gain back 3, meaning he cost you 3 GR for a 3 influence dude who is effectively +1 production, and his ability can keep scaling upward, which is a dream come true for a slide deck.
