Start with"Howard" in play
With just one dude in play, a lot of people will get the wrong idea about this deck. From hand one it starts killing your opponents dudes through the wonderful "It Was a Mountain Lion" event. (There are only a few cards close to Howard's value, so he is pretty safe.)
Use Bluff and Ace in the Hole to get that event to happen as fast and as often as possible. Then put a lot of control points in play. If they try to move to one of your deeds simply move there, let them call you out, Pistol Whip them and send them home.
The Twitch lets you pick fights, something that Howard can't normally do.
Pay for Twitch go and pick fights, and then don't pay his upkeep when it becomes inconvenient. You can always bring him out in a turn or two when he comes up in your hand again.
