All In and Stack the Deck (what is now his signature and renamed to 52 card pickup) are his 2 best skills while in RC. You can easily leave them both as 1 pointers, and they still rape face.

Bo Beatdown now costs spirit and deals 40% bonus damage to elites/bosses.

Suits no longer exist.

52 is now House of Cards which applies a slow for 3 seconds. 1 point wonder just for the bonus from Loki's synergy, and the bit of cc it provides (60% slow) flat percent, flat duration no reason to level this one up. Not a fan of the delayed damage, on top of which it's dps is actually... really bad compared to just about every other power available. Don't be fooled by the big numbers. Simple division, people. Even Bo Strike makes this thing look like a joke at nearly double the dps.
It's either this or a point in Royal Flush for the vulnerability.

Street Sweep is a dot now. Take at least 1 in it for the free heals you'll get from savate since it is now tagged as a melee power. The duration of the dot does not scale, but the duration of the stun does.
I pump it up for the long ass stun, which is his only real effective CC other than Fold 'Em which is even worse dps. The extra damage is... mediocre, but you'll get more explosions going in RC with a free dot on the ground on top of whatever else you're doing.

Dead Man's Hand, well, because more hits = more explosions and more chances to crit. This skill I really only use in instances where getting into melee range would be too dicey. (orbs, mortars etc). Gives me something to fall back on other than the sig so I'm not wasting time merely dodging obstacles. Other than that... the points here could pretty much go anywhere. Ace of Spades isn't bad. Or any of the other melee powers. Just personal flavor.

I put 3 in KC just to bump the power score to 18 for that extra 1 in spirit return.

Everything else into the signature. Might as well take some kind of burst.

Costume - Crit chance.
Legendary - Gungnir
Blessings - Hela and/or Odin

Gear - I use a full set of uniques.
Uru - The breast plate. I have not worded it yet, but am leaning towards heroes of asgard.
Core - I use durability for the extra defense, and strength which may sound odd, buuuut.... Gambit throwing cars? Yeah, the damage is huge.
I don't use the medkit affix becauuuse.. dun dun duuuunnnn!... He already heals like a beast from Savate, and his uniques practically give him infinite spirit. So, at least how I play him... there's no point to it. Don't need a pym, don't need River of the Soul, none of that.
Artifacts - 2 defensive, 2 offensive. I would ditch the serum for another +1 skiller if any of them were worth a damn on this guy. Khonshu isn't bad, but requires too much power weaving/alternating to make good use of it, and I'm far too lazy to bother with all that.

The 1 leftover point doesn't actually exist in game.
