Tactican || Pete - Starter

Starter Idea for Tactics Based Book of War || Ashcan Pete

I really wanted to see how much value I could get out of Book of War, since || Pete has access to tactics from every class. Might not be the most optimal || Pete deck, but it seems like a great flex character that can be built out in a lot of different directions form this core set based on what your team needs.

Thoughts behind each include:

Meat Cleaver - With horror healing on the guitar, I think this is a good replacement for Machete since I can't fit that with the other Guardian 0s I want.

Old Keyring - Going for 0 difficulty clues with Breach/Matchbox

The Book of War - The attempted build around card. Usable on First Watch, Kicking the Hornet's Nest, Shortcut, and Dynamite Blast if you get rich. Looking into even better tactics to upgrade to later on.

Hallowed Mirror - Support Healing. Not a ton of soak in this deck so seems like a good fit for the last guardian 0 slot.

Jessica Hyde - Will help with the bad fist stats for Cleaver and Breach the Door, and provide much needed damage soak

Matchbox - Again 0 difficulty clues

Wolf Mask - Will be engaging a lot of enemies, helps with Breach the Door as well. Sometimes need some feet for mythos too. Just a very solid card

"Let God sort them out..." - I know this card is just greed, but I feel like if anyone can pull it off, it's Tactipete. With the guitar movement ability and dynamite (and maybe in some cases Ambush), in a 4 player game I think this is very easily achievable.

Ambush - Great with Hornet's Nest and occasionally First Watch. Works with Pete's ability.

Breach the Door - Test becomes easily manageable with Wolf Mask, Jessica, and Overpower. Also gives the usually useless value since this is stuck to the location permanently. We love to help the team!

Dynamite Blast - Corral enemies into one spot with Pete's Guitar then go boom. I put in two copies even though Book of War can recurse it just so increase the likeliness of finding one for use with "Let God sort them out..."

First Watch - Have not used this card before, but it seems like better Scrying. Can be brought back with Book of War, and I can see some nasty combos with Hiding Spot and Dynamite Blast by standing on a hiding spot and giving Pete all the enemies during Mythos.

Grievous Wound - Seems like it could be good for kiting a big hunter enemy. Comes back with Pete's ability. Worst case is a commit.

Hiding Spot - Card becomes great with this version of Pete. Can keep the Cluever safe remotely, can make multiple enemies aloof with the guitar.

Kicking the Hornet's Nest - $$$ and clues. Combos with Ambush and sometimes Hiding Spot. Can be used with The Book of War to get a lot of cash back when times are easy. Can also help to grab an enemy, move them to an adjacent location with another enemy using the guitar, and get the money to dynamite/let god sort them out combo.

Shortcut - Quality 0 cost tactic that synergizes pretty well with the movement shenanigans in this deck. Might be replaced for XP cards later, not sure yet.

Overpower - Helps with the low , can be near guaranteed card draw with Breach the Door.
