Check the new Unstoppable Survivor deck upgraded in 2024!
Ready to complete any campaign in true solo with only 25 Victory Points?
Investigate: 8 | Fight: 7 | Treachery: 9 | Tempo: 9 | Consistency: 8
I have played this deck in all official campaigns released until 2022, including TFA, TCU and TSK. The original inspiration came from this deck from jamjams32, after playing many campaigns I'm quite confident that it is even more balanced with the new cards released. You will gain the ultimate tempo and adaptability to investigate, fight and pass treachery and agility tests. This deck doesn't have any taboo card.
OVERVIEW / TL:DR
- Get Plucky (3) before the first scenario thanks to the 3xp given by purchasing In the Thick of It
- Mulligan: keep Leo De Luca and Scrounge for Supplies because they will give you an extra action for the whole scenario. Keep Plucky (3) for the +1 and +1
- Play Leo De Luca (0) as early as possible, leveraging your mulligan and Scrounge for Supplies to search among the 10 cards discarded by Short Supply
- Play Plucky (3), Sledgehammer (0) and Dark Horse leveraging Resourceful
- Play Faustian Bargain, Take Heart and Crack the Case when you need resources to play assets.
TEMPO
You will have incredible tempo and action compression with:
- Duke's ability to move and investigate in one action
- Leo De Luca (0) played in turn one with great consistency thanks to the mulligan and Scrounge for Supplies interaction with the 10 cards discarded by Short Supply
INVESTIGATE
You will investigate successfully with:
- Investigate at 6 : 4 Duke's ability from turn one, +1 Plucky (3), +1 Dark Horse
- Investigate at 8 : add +2 with Perception
- Investigate at 10 : add +4 with Desperate Search
FIGHT
You will fight successfully with:
- Fight at 5 , 4 Duke's ability from turn one that can do 2 damage, +1 Dark Horse
- Fight at 5 , 2 base value, +2 Sledgehammer (0) that can do 3 damage with two actions, +1 Dark Horse
- Fight at 7 : add +2 with Overpower
- Fight at 9 : add +4 with Reckless Assault
TREACHERIES AND AGILITY
You will pass treachery tests successfully with:
- Willpower at 6 : 4 base value, +1 with Plucky (3), +1 with Dark Horse
- Agility at 6 : 3 base value, +1 with Dark Horse, +2 with Manual Dexterity and Unexpected Courage
- Add +4 with Desperate Search, Reckless Assault, Run For Your Life that can be used from turn one thanks to In the Thick of It
UPGRADES
With few upgrades your consistency will increase even further.
- Jacob Morrison (3) gives you +2 in any test, and you can ready him by discarding a card with Ashcan Pete's ability. Very helpful in Hard mode
- Sledgehammer (4) gives you +5 and +5 damage, you can move to the enemy location and kill an elite enemy with 6 health in one turn thanks to the fourth action from Leo De Luca
- Lucky (3) gives you +3 in any test, it is very helpful when Dark Horse is in play and can be drawn from the discard pile with Resourceful.
Priorities
- 1x Say Your Prayers --> 1x Plucky (3)
- 1x Charisma (3)
- 2x Manual Dexterity --> 2x Jacob Morrison (3)
- 1x Sledgehammer (0) --> 1x Sledgehammer (4)
- 1x Perception --> 1x Plucky (3)
- 2x Lucky (0) --> 2x Lucky (3)
Then some options
- 1x Perception --> 1x Sledgehammer (4)
- 1x Observed (4)
Thanks for reading! I would love to hear thoughts and experiences.

Mar 05, 2023I like an asset-light, skill-heavy deck. I think you nailed the Survivor vibe here! |

Mar 27, 2023Will be trying out this game tomorrow while teaching a friend the game (he will be playing Winifred's deck), looking forward to it! Any reason why Yaotl is no longer being used in Pete/Duke decks? I always enjoyed that combination. |

Apr 07, 2023I think the deck is missing card draw? I would have gone for Unrelenting as an upgrade, and probably true survivor for recursion. Obviously it becomes more money intensive. With Jacob only being readied by discarding a card, it feels limiting? With no added bless tokens, it feels like the ability is more useful for duke. |

Apr 07, 2023So At A Crossroads and Unrelenting are the 2 good card draw cards that survivor now has (outside of Nothing left to Lose) So I'd probably remove the desperates, but if you think you're getting good value out of them, then I'm not sure! I'm surprised you get such good value out of jacob when he's just an unexpected courage. As in, every card in your hand becomes an unexpected courage, and the desperates by definition lose symbols in that context. But you would need the cards to feed him so net positive card draw is probably good? Otherwise I'm sure you're quickly down to 1 card a turn? And what if that card is a card you want to play? |

Oct 14, 2023What do you think about Granny Orne (3) instead of Jacob? Would the stat bonuses and readying outweigh the +2 reaction? |

Mar 11, 2024Hello, I really like this deck. Thanks to her, I fell in love with playing solo. Please tell me if you will release an update to this deck with cards from The Feast of Hemlock Vale? |

I like your deck description. Concise yet very clear.
For the deck, it also looks straightforward and really effective, perfect for beginner players that do not want to get overwhelmed with heavy mechanics. Good job!
