Tommy Muldoon (FFG Starter Decklist)

From Arkham Horror: The Card Game Investigator Decklists v7

Tommy Muldoon Strategy Tips

Tommy Muldoon is a support investigator who excels at tanking damage and horror and protecting his teammates. Tommy’s ability rewards him with resources whenever one of his assets is defeated by damage or horror, but also “saves” that asset by shuffling it into his deck. His higher-than-average combat also allows him to protect other investigators by slaying enemies that might otherwise attack them.

By focusing on playing lots of assets that can soak damage or horror, Tommy is encouraged to soak as much damage and horror as he can and take hits for other investigators whenever possible. For this reason, your first goal when playing this deck should be to play one or more assets that can soak damage or horror, such as Beat Cop, Guard Dog, or Leather Coat. Since this deck only contains a few such cards, remembering to use Tommy’s ability to shuffle them back into your deck when they are defeated is vital. If you have one of these cards in play and wish to help your teammates, they can use your Solemn Vow to move damage/horror to your assets.

For hunting down enemies, you have several options, but your trusty rifle Becky should always be your first pick. In addition to providing an ample bonus to combat and damage, you can add additional ammo to it whenever one of your assets is defeated, making it your most reliable sidekick.

Beware—Tommy’s weakness, Rookie Mistake, can sometimes dismantle your best laid plans. While generally it is good to spread damage and horror out among your various assets, if you have not drawn Rookie Mistake yet, it can sometimes be wise to instead place damage/horror on one of your assets at a time, instead, to ensure your weakness does not cripple you.
