Daisy's Action Economy

3-player game, Daisy serves as primary support and investigator for a team that also contains a rogue & a guardian.

Mulligan strat: mulligan all cards except Dr. Milan Christopher, Encyclopedia, Pathfinder, and Cryptic Research.

Ideal first turn:

• Play Dr. Milan Christopher. Investigate to gain 1 resource. Play Encyclopedia or Old Book of Lore, unless I have Pathfinderin hand, in which case try to investigate ASAP to build up resources to get it in play ASAP.

Each turn Daisy gives her allies (or herself) +2 to a stat with the encyclopedia. Her int is oftentimes sitting at 6 or 7, pumpable up to 8-9 with encyclopedia.

For combat, Daisy relies on her allies primarily. If she gets jumped, Mind over Matter and "I've got a plan" give her the ability to deal with an enemy at her locale. Shriveling is a secondary option, but isn't ideal as she can't use encyclopedia to pump up her wisdom when already engaged. Shriveling will become much more viable once we hit Blood on the Alter and I get access to Higher Education.

Shortcut & Pathfinder together conspire to increase the number of actions she has available, along with her free tome ability. As Dr. Milan Christopher tends to keep me flush with resources, actions are my main limiting factor, so the deck is packed with fast cards that increase the total number of actions that I and my two teammates get.
