NOTE : The list was created before Ruffian's nerf!
How to :
Get
Kodosh's Armor from the market and start buffing your
Kira, the Prodigy or any other unit before you attack with it. (You can use it more than once each turn!)
When you
Imbue Greenstone Officer on a unit buffed by
Kodosh's Armor,
Finest Hour or whatever buff card you have in hand, he'll keep the buff plus the stunned unit's stats even after the buffed unit loses it! (Cool Right?)
If you run out of units there is a
Golem Press in the market to help the situation which is also a great target for any kind of buffs and
Kemmo, Ijin's Apprentice's weapons!
Lots of lifesteal to survive aggro and 4 of my favorite
Valkyrie Enforcers to silence annoying enemy units, or buff and use them to pass the damage needed to end the game.
Elder's Feather is in the market to use it on a buffed unit as another finisher.
Thanks for checking my list! It is the first one I am posting here!
Cheers! o/

Quality of removals is quite a big problem for mono justice decks. Vanquish is fine as it has nice synergy with Trickshot Ruffian. But I didn't like Entrapment very much. I moved Vanquisher's blade from market to Main. For market, added Pristine Light because it's great in pinch.
I think Emerald Crafters do not perform very well unless under harsh rule. You usually do not get that many influences after 4 power. I replaced them with Copperhall Bailiff, which is great against tokens and aegis.
About Mantle of Justice, it's a great finisher but weak when short on units. Kemmo brings decent number of finisher weapons. I cut them and put more units(Sheriff Marley). This is because my changes are heavily focused on winrate than speed. I think it can take a market spot as a fast finisher.
Crownwatch Press-Gang can be a decent card for both main deck and market. Trickshot Ruffians are good in most situations. But unsure about using Gangs only for Ruffians.
Here's my current list. I like current list but I think this list is still far from complete. Happy grinding.

I just finished a run with your list and honestly, it worked just fine. The addition of Copperhall Bailiff proved to be great with his -1 attack effect! As for the market I believe is all about what fits well, to each players style! I mean, some build defensive markets and others offensive! I tried to keep a balance between these two with offense beeing slightly favored! Telut, Queen's Hand board control ability though, looks like a great addition to it. The one card that I would keep is Emerald Crafter because so far it worked great for me. I try to Imbue it and let it passively become stronger each turn and then Boom. A big dude comes out of nowhere! Mantle of Justice felt good in the market also than the main deck but I am having trouble deciding what to cut for it! I will keep trying things though and keep in mind all these changes while tweaking! Thanks for trying the list!
Seriously, though, I am wondering if it at least deserves a spot in market.
While Kemmo, Ijin's Apprentice provides his amazing weapons to use and get huge amounts of damage or lifesteal it could be replaced with any decent 3 drop like Seasoned Drillmaster or maybe Brightmace Paladin ! Both will work just fine! As of Sediti, the Killing Steel it could be replaced with another flyer like Steel Legion which also has endurance to tank some attacks! I hope that helps somehow! Thanks for your comment and your time!
Keep in mind that I tweaked this list to grind Gauntlet for gold! I played some matches in ranked throne at diamond 2 and 1 and had positive winrate but the number of matches were not that many to show how strong the list is to climb with! So if you are interested to climb I suggest you to check the strong meta decks that are used now! I mean the meta can be boring sometimes but unfortunately it is the safe way to climb! You said that you are quite new to the game btw! What about starting with Expedition then? There you will be able to craft safe crafts that will be available to play for quite some time! For example both Sediti, the Killing Steel and Icaria, Valkyrie Captain are not allowed in expedition! -(Throne is the mode where every single card can be played. In expedition only the latest sets are allowed! This is why it is better for new players!)- But if you want to invest to a throne collection both cards are a must have! The small Icaria, Valkyrie Captain comes from Dead Reckoning campain and the Sediti, the Killing Steel comes from Dark Frontier set and can be crafted with shifstone! I you have decided that you will stick to Throne let me know and tell me what factions (Justice , Shadow, ect) you like to play the most! Then I will try to help you with some safe crafts! Same for expedition of course! I hope this reply helps a little! Cheers!

Icaria, Valkyrie Captain as a utility 2 drop can't replace Sediti, the Killing Steel which is a super strong 5 drop. Instead of Sediti you could use Silverwing Commander which is a rare or else Steel Legion if you want to go budget mode.
