One Father's crisis can be another Player's enjoyment!

This deck tries to make the most use out of Paradoxical Covenant. Book of Psalms, Keep Faith, and Predestined keeps the bag full of tokens. Promise of Power adds some while Tempt Fate does both. You ideally don't want to play Tempt Fate until you have a Favor of the Moon in hand because you don't actually want the tokens left in the bag to mess up your skill tests. Once you have a good amount of bless tokens in the bag you can start using Olive McBride to try and pull a token or if you have Favor of the Sun, you can just seal some and release on command!

The Side Deck are some possible level ups that you may want to consider. You definitely want the 2nd copy of Favor of the Sun, the Eye of the Djinn, and probably 2 copies of Blessing of Isis to go along with that. Spirit of Humanity is another way to get or tokens in the bag.

Have fun with the deck and I hope you could help out the good Father with his existential crisis!

I have a similar deck in mind to pair up with a Calvin that runs RĂ­astrad and Spirit of Humanity to add those curses.
My issue here is that Blessing of Isis seems so good for Mateo but it can get weird if you muddle the chaos bag with curses.

For example, do I want to use Favor of the Sun to trigger Paradoxical Covenant in case I draw a curse or do I want to use it to trigger Blessing of Isis in case I draw a bless?

You should almost always use the Favor of the Moon and Favor of the Sun after you already drawn a blessed or cursed token and not before. There are fringe cases that you might want to like needing the +2 from blessed or for additional effects from your spells but more often than not you should be more reactive in their uses

That's what I meant with "in case I draw a curse/bless", might not phrased that in the best way. Still, it feels like I either have to go for Paradoxical OR Blessing of Isis, both seem awkward.

@guybrushAh gotcha. You are probably correct though, Blessing of Isis might be superfluous. In the campaign I'm running him in right now I went straight for the 2nd Favor of the Sun and Eye of the Djinn followed by 2x Seal of the Elder Sign.
