Minh Thi Phan - FFG Starter Deck

Based on: Starter Decklists, V.4.0 May, 2018 - The Forgotten Age Edition

Minh Thi Phan is an investigator who is at her best when used to aid other teammates. Her ability, which allows you to add wild icons to cards committed to skill tests at her location, makes her a great character for a group to rally around. She can also use Analytical Mind to aid her teammates from afar.

Minh’s ability allows you to easily boost a skill test by 2 or 3 each turn, but this approach requires a lot of cards. Old Book of Lore and No Stone Unturned can help you get the cards you need when you need them. Scavenging is also great with Minh, thanks to her high intellect. Use these tools along with Analytical Mind to keep your hand flush with wild icons at all times.

Although she is great at supporting her allies, Minh struggles when left on her own, especially when encountering enemies. Survivor cards such as Stray Cat, Cunning Distraction, and Hiding Spot can help you stay away from dangerous enemies, and allow you to investigate locations even while an enemy is present.

Your best approach with Minh is to commit 1 card to each skill test and use her ability to enhance the number of icons on that card. However, The King in Yellow counters this strategy completely. This is another reason why it is important for you to keep a lot of cards in your hand—if you have 6 matching icons in your hand, you can use them to get rid of The King in Yellow very quickly.
