[EXPERT True Solo] William 30xp does it all.

Do it all William, Expert campaign breaker for True Solo

This is a deck for William that can be used both in True Solo and Multiplayer, that can make it through Expert while considering the latest Taboo List.

This deck is built considering the normal amount of a complete campaign and considering William's special card Bury Them Deep.

I am restricted by the fact that I cannot find Carcosa Mythos Packs after Echoes of the Past and no Dream Eaters either in the Netherlands. For advice on how to build a deck using other Mythos Packs, Please look at the bottom.

Fight:

The Enchanted Blade that William found on a witch corpse is his best friend. It gives you a reliable +2 and +1 Damage and can be used effectively with AoD and brought back full of charges immediately at no cost if used to kill.

Guard Dog that will be replaced right after the first scenario by Beat Cop (2) supported later on by Aquinnah (3) will help you to finish off low health enemies. As a recall: Aquinnah (3) can inflict the damage of an enemy to itself.

Good to know that end-game you can use Eucatastrophe to succeed in a killing blow and get it back immediately with William's

Finally, Vicious Blow gives you the little boost you were looking for to kill that 3hp enemy in one turn without beating the beat.

Clueing:

The idea here is to cheat the token bag.

The Flashlight allows you to free investigate 2 shrouds locations, 4 shrouds locations are done with "Look what I found!" and up to 6 shrouds by adding Lucky!. Scene of the Crime is also a good test-free clue gatherer, knowing that William will be dealing with enemies. You can also late-game use your Eucatastrophe to empty higher shroud locations while recurring resourceful to get it back or bring back your "Look what I found!" for more efficient clue gathering. Finally, Evidence! is also useful but the lowest rate of clue/card so it is replaced early on.

Encounter Deck Management:

Steadfast gives you a good boost for early game, and a decent one later on, if you use your soaks correctly. Take the Initiative is the best anti-treachery card, also useful for tests and Lucky! can always help on tricky situations.

Damage / horror:

Cherished Keepsake is a soak that is automatically put into play after killing an enemy... What could you ask more? More Soak, you greedy? Aquinnah (3) can take a good amount if necessary, especially as Kerosene will be here later on to use her infinite. Yes, Kerosene is an item so William recurs it, how great?!

Money making:

Take Heart can be played on treacheries you're sure to lose and don't want to invest in. AoD pays you back the money to recur your Enchanted Blade so you save a good amount here. Later on, Ever Vigilant is a great ally to Backpack as it allows you to play the assets store on it in one go and for cheap!

Tutoring:

No Prepared for the Worst?? Well... Backpack has the advantage of being an item, so if you miss... you reuse it right after killing rats or a lost Acolyte and you get a second chance!

Mulligan:

Basically mulligan hard for 2 things: Backpack and/or Enchanted Blade, right after this comes Flashlight, Cherished Keepsake and Guard Dog/Beat Cop (2).

With more Mythos/Investigator packs, you can replace Guard Dog at the start with Grete Wagner and keep her instead of Aquinnah (3) for more consistent clue gathering.

This also comes in pair with First Aid to help your allies to soak on more and do their job longer before having to pay for them again.

Calling in Favors is also great as it brings you back your Allies to replace them with brand new shiny soaks.

Replacing Flashlight by Old Keyring, better but less interesting for AoD.

Relentless is also an amazing money maker for the extra damage that Aquinnah can place.

Key of Ys also always interesting...
