Joe Diamond - Solo Return to The House Always Wins

Spoiler Warning

Return to the Dunwich Legacy solo (Standard difficulty):
Disclaimer: semi-blind run - several decisions within the game as well as in deck-building is done with prior knowledge of the Campaign in mind.
Though this is my first run on Return and with Joe Diamond.

Upgrades:
Decided to keep Tooth of Eztli and Fine Clothes as both are still required
"Eat lead!" sat in hand pretty much most of the last scenario, and hence sacrificed for Quick Study.

Summary:
Again never found the use for On the Hunt.
Had forgotten about all the test-less treachery in the encounter deck, should have swapped in Forewarned instead of Quick Study.
Strangely never drawn Fine Clothes despite going through most of my deck both games.
