Exiling, instead of trashing, Copper is mostly a wash. Exiling is obviously better with Estates and worse with Curses, so an actual [[trasher]] is desirable when cursing is present. Where Bounty Hunter excels over other trash for benefit cards, such as {{Card|Forager}} or {{Card|Junk Dealer}}, is when its initial money spikes get to vital cards quickly or there is variety in what it is exiling, such as [[Ruins]], [[Shelters]], or undesirable [[Heirloom]]s, so that it frequently earns {{Cost|3}}. | Exiling, instead of trashing, Copper is mostly a wash.

Pairing Bounty Hunter with a Trash for benefit card is generally stronger than either two Bounty Hunters or two copies of the Trasher and has the additional feature of being able to exile the Trasher for {{Cost|3}} after it has done its job. |
A second use for Bounty Hunter is as a [[sifter]] variant in the end game, moving [[victory]] cards into Exile. On one hand, its sifting is better than a [[deck inspector]], since exiling is better than discarding. On the other hand, if a copy of the card being sifted is already in Exile, it sifts a card out of hand instead of from the deck, which reduces effective hand size and average purchase power, without gaining {{Cost|3}} to compensate for this. | A second use for Bounty Hunter is as a [[sifter]] variant in the end game, moving [[victory]] cards into Exile.
