Disgusting Daisy | Short Deck Guide | Advanced Tote Bag

Grim Memoir is fair, unless you are not Daisy and you don't have Abigail Foreman in play. I think it is unfair that it even does not exhaust.And since Daisy has additional Tome action, it basically means 5 (conditional) actions a turn with a lot of card draw.

Deck Idea

As I think of it now, the idea of this deck is pretty straightforward: Big Hand daisy drawing a lot of cards, playing whatever she wants to play. It turned out that the deck is working perfectly fine at level 0.

You can take Abigail Foreman usually after Scenario 1. Then Grisly Totem and Charisma should be at most after S3. But most of the pieces are from the beginning in the level 0 deck.

How to pilot the deck:

• It takes a couple of turns to set up. You'll probably need one whole deck pass to set everything up, but meantime you'll do your cluever job, don't worry. After the first deck pass, you'll cycle through your deck almost every round.

Other tips:

• Use Magnifying Glass to drop used Grim Memoir
• Ward of Protection the treacheries that deal damage or takes too long to read them.
• Try to play the second copy of Dream-Enhancing Serum. Try it. It is nice to draw 2 cards instead of 1.
• If you have Grim Memoir, Grisly Totem in play, then if you do not investigate with committing a card, it means you're doing something wrong and please go rethink your Arkham life.
• Do not get rid of The Necronomicon. It's not worth it. And actually, this advanced one is not that bad. Depending on the scenario, it might be even not that punishing. It was once something like -1 and "if you fail…", after all. But once it was something like -14 and take 1 damage/horror. Manageable.
• Encourage your fighter to take Safeguard. Preferably in both copies for easier setup. With your Shortcuts or Esoteric Atlas, you are reaching the sound barrier.
• Advanced Daisy's Tote Bag is quite handy and provides you a lot of hand slots.

Level 0 Deck

• Degrade into Magnifying Glass.
• Instead of Abigail Foreman, which is a priority upgrade, I used Whitton Greene.
• You can use basic Grisly Totem as the placeholder, or anything else.
• Remove Charisma.

Further upgrades

You can consider:

• Library Docent, and then maybe, if you want, The Necronomicon.
• Old Book of Lore (3) is a cool way of further action and resource economy. For you or for me, or the entire human race…
• A research-able item as Forbidden Tome or Dream Diary. Depends mostly on your team composition. I've dumped 6xp into Forbidden Tome, but it was unnecessary, because my fighter was too efficient.

Mythos protection

You have Ward of Protection pretty much every turn. If you have an enemy, then it's a job for your fighter. And if you are away, it means you either play The Circle Undone or you're doing something weird that should not happen.
