As part of the CRANK DAT JANK UP series, there's enough jank already to deal with, no need to worry about taboo compliance. There's no question it is a suboptimal deck.

You might be fooled into thinking that a deck with the word "Cast" in its title revolves around spells. This is cannot be further from the truth of this deck. It aims not to cast, but to Castrate, the Chaos deck from it's nasty, symbolly, smelly tokens. Practically spamming Seals.

In multiplayer, that could be well helpful. But worry not, this is CRANK DAT JANK UP, you're not here for the optimal play: you're here for the jank. Never mind the other players, you play to serve one purpose: not your fellow investigators, not even yourself. No, you jump through firey hoops of jank, performing grand rituals of sealing, all to make Henry Wan great again.

That's right, even without the blurse tokens, this is the Henry Wan jank you have been looking for. Mulligan for Seal of the Seventh Sign, use Protective Incantation and The Chthonian Stone on the , and . Your seal is never going to go away. With those in tow, get Henry working for you! Let him go to town just raiding the the innocent citizens of Arkham, pulling token after token. If the scenario has only a few tokens, empty the bag!

There's got to be a use for all this money. Dexter isn't a CEO, he's a magician. So he "magically" transfers his cash to credit via a well connected Trust fund. He can then use the money as he sees fit, pimping out the skills...actually, just pumping out his well connected skills. There's only so much jank you can fit in one deck.

I tried this deck in a blind playthrough of Alone against the Wendigo. I emphasise blind, because that scenario...runs on symbols. I think I heard it weep after. Castrater Dexter showed no mercy, holding the circular jewels in the palm of his hand, refusing to give them back. Henry Wan didn't do jack though, most he gave was 3 resources because there was still one token in the back and I kept pulling it. I have no idea how this will work in Consternation on the Constellation.

Who knew Henry Wan was viable even without the blurse tokens? You keep hearing how terrible he is. Well watch it...because one day Castrater Dexter may be coming for your crown jewels, and Henry will make bank off the lobotomy.

PS. Updated to swap out Lockpicks with Arcane Studies. Swordcane is also another good choice for the other handslot.

What are the Lockpicks for? Once the deck is fully set up, your hands and arcane are full by default, so there's no space for them, and they're bad in Dexter to begin with. Why not an Arcane Studies or even Hard Knocks so you can do stuff with the money after Well Connected is exhausted?

Also not sure about Recharge, but I guess that depends on the scenario and whether you can fully seal the tokens.

Excellent suggestion. Been so used to lockpicks. Anyway, I think Arcane studies suits better. And I just realised there's only 1 deny.
