George Barnaby Has All the Economy (Drowned City)

George Barnaby Has All the Economy (Drowned City)

This deck is focused on maximizing Georges economy (Card Draw / Resources) with the goal of drawing as much as possible to discard to Cornered to power George's ability which provides even more card draw.

You want to pass investigation checks by 2+ to power Scavenging to recur and play Fingerprint Kit, Grim Memoir, and Schoffner's Catalogue as often as needed. This is also why we use x2 Lucky Cigarette Case via Relic Hunter to double dip on those 2+ passes for even more cards.

Between Fingerprint Kit and Grim Memoir that is two actions for 3 clues, 3 cards (4 if using his ability via Cornered) and a resource from Lawrence Carlisle. Which you can sustain pretty much indefinitely. That's an average of 3x action compression per turn and you still have one action left over.

For the economy: Lawrence Carlisle, Ample Supplies, Schoffner's Catalogue, Act of Desperation, and Take Heart can all be used to pocket resources. Grim Memoir, Lucky Cigarette Case, Guts, Perception, Resourceful, Take Heart, and George's ability all put cards in your hand.

Resourceful allows you to bring back your non-item assets: Ample Supplies, Lawrence Carlisle, Cornered, or Scavenging if needed.

Between Act of Desperation and Brute Force he can fight when needed and get paid for it.
