Alas, Poor Yorick

So, other than the obvious reference - this deck actually does focus on Poor Yorick. As in, it really shines if resources are kept to a minimum.

Most of the cards here are really cheap, so you'll never need to be swimming in resources in order to make stuff work. Ideally, you'd want to burn through all your resources quickly and get Dark Horse out - then you've got a more than solid stat-line. Once you've got that out - you can start beating on things. Fire Axe is great, as you're at a whopping 7 fight and 2 damage (assuming you just keep recycling the one resource you get at the Refresh).

There's also a bit of a dumpster diver element to the deck, as it features quite a few consumables: Knife, Lantern, Stray Cat and the Baseball Bat that may break. If you lose these, it's not really a big deal. Between Yorick's innate ability and Resourceful - anything can come back.

Finally, Yorick's not really supposed to be the main cluever with this set-up, he's really best if paired up with someone who can investigate. However, he does have ways of getting around the low knowledge score with Gravedigger's Shovel, Evidence! and "Look what I found!".
