Lets try the Rite of AshkEnte

This deck was built for a 4 player Return to Carcosa campaign. Other player were playing Nathaniel Cho, Harvey Walters, Minh Thi Phan.

The core idea behind this deck is to leverage Drake access to Haste and Leo de Luca to get 5 actions a turn. Your core spell are going to be Wither and Sixth Sense making this deck good at both investigating and fighting. Shrivelling act as a back up against bigger monster or end of scenario boss where Wither tend to struggle doing enough damage. Mist of R'lyeh is a flex slot that can be changed to anything else you may want to play.

Crystal Pendulum or Holy Rosary. Even if it's hard to trigger the card draw of the pendulum is more usefull in this deck than the horror soak of the rosary. Fearless can heal the 2 starting trauma and any subsequent horror can be dealt to Arcane Initiate or Gregory Gry since once they have fulfilled their purpose they will be used to play something else with Drake ability.

Your first upgrade target (depending on your xp) should be to swap out Forbidden Knowledge for a copy of haste and upgraded Wither and Sixth Sense. A Charisma is also a good xp investment early on.
