Rogue Mercenary - I used to think that this card was garbage, but I saw on Enclase's stream that al-kazar uses it in his Crag deck and since then Enclase has started doing so as well. Obviously the mana cost to attack is super annoying but it does give you a better chance at a very strong turn 1 or 2 and the synergy with Altar is amazing (I mean 2 mana 4 damage removal is pretty great, even if it does cost you 2 cards).



Saharr Hunter - He's not exactly robust, but given that you'll be stacking a lot and playing in open rows I could see the ambush potentially being very good, he seems to pop up in some Crag decks.



Cowardly Gnoll - I've seen this pop up in a bunch of Crag decks (albeit usually only a couple of them per deck), obviously his stats for mana cost are very good.. and the more big hitters you can cram into the deck the better.. but maybe by the time you get to 4 might the fact he's cheap isn't as big a deal as you're probably running low on cards anyway?



Cyclops Brawler - This is another one I saw pop out of al-kazar's deck and was kinda surprised by. I guess he's another big hitting creature and he obviously synergises amazingly with Week of Mercs.. I wonder if maybe a deck with some of these might warrant the inclusion of Blood Shaman Hut?



Zafiria - I know going up to 1 magic might be too much to swallow, but I feel like there's some scope for her as another potential finisher perhaps? She's worked out ok for me so far (albeit she's only come up a few times) but then I've only played to 1 destiny as I've not tried running stampedes, so maybe the extra stat in your deck might rule her out.



Blood Shaman Hut - I've seen this in some other Crag decks, it's extra damage, might help finish.. I guess you probably don't want to use it too often for board control though otherwise you'll end up crippling your hand a bit. As I mentioned above maybe it's contingent on having Cyclops Brawler's in the deck?



Thanks very much!
