Carson "Not in My House" Sinclair-Survivor End Game

This deck looks cool! I'm having trouble seeing where/how it leverages Carson's abilities, though. Outside of Trial By Fire, I feel like Tommy would be a stronger chassis for this deck. I suspect there's an angle I'm not seeing?

Really interesting. Love the Ancient Power - Scriptweaver combo on Runic Axe! +5 and +2 damage on your first attack every turn looks awesome.

However, I think @Dummy Doctor is right: I'm having trouble seeing what Carson Sinclair really adds to the deck. The Runic Axe shell you've created is impressive, but it would work just fine, if not even better, with Mark Harrigan. If you want to keep using Carson, my advice would be add in some more support for his support role, for example swapping Inspiring Presence with "Let me handle this!" or Self-Sacrifice, as well as Leadership for economy.

@Dummy Doctor is absolutely correct, this deck as it is now, would be a better deck in Tommy. Though Tommy is more asset based deck where Carson relies on a heavy boosting of his base stats to do anything. In this case, charges on Runic Axe, Trial by Fire or skill cards.

Since Blue/Red investigators are very rare, Carson allows for a non asset based deck to run some of the new Survivor events from TSK while maintaining his core investigator ability. Carson maintains his free action every turn to help support others by giving a free action + At a Crossroads, and Nature of the Beast pulling enemies out of the encounter deck or discarding very bad encounter cards for the group. Where Tommy would lose his main benefit of cycling assets with this exact deck because are are very few of them.

Carson also presents the rare flexibility over other primary fighters when there is no enemy to kill. Gain a resource/card/move and give everyone else an extra action this round!

I'm not a fan of "Let me handle this!" in this particular deck as it only brings his base skill value to 4. On its own, not a great way to handle encounter cards. Self-Sacrifice and Leadership are great cards to put in for additional resource or card draw.

With the amount of xp required to get this deck online it may be better as a 29xp Standalone.

I did make another Carson deck with the Seeker subclass that plays a primary support role. Where Carson babysits, I mean, butlers the main clue getter around. arkhamdb.com

Thanks for the discussion and feedback!

Oh, I didn't recommend "Let me handle this!" for the skill boost; I just thought it would give you an additional way to help support the team, stealing encounter cards that they draw so that they don't have to deal with them (and your once-a-turn-Lightning-Gun can, if they're an enemy).

ah good point! I was only thinking about using it to pass tests.
