I wanted to play something unusual and fast for an Ironman run through of Dream Eaters this year and I spent way too much time figuring out a deck. But I finally settled on something I'm pretty excited about.

I know we won't get nearly this much XP in a Dream Eaters run through, but I figured I'd start with the ideal deck and work backwards from there.

Also: I have heard Patrice is really bad in Dream Eaters Dreaming Side. Never fear: this deck is going to be running the Waking side.

I'm open to any feedback -- it's not too late to improve this deck before the big day.

Also: the upgrades shown here are what I plan on doing -- it's just a rough idea of what to prioritize. It will definitely change a bit depending on how much XP we get and what cards I end up liking more than others.

I just run with the 4 sled dogs (patrice can easy play 2-3 at minimum) so fighting with +2 or +3 fight and +1/+2damage is good. even if is only once per turn. also it help for the mobility when needed. (I also played the cats but too be honest the dogs where the best for patrice (I played innsmouth in standard)

  • I don't see anything dedicated to the Watcher test. I'm sure Cornered / Last Chance can get you through, but again there are always questions of timing when you deal with your weakness. I don't agree with Isus and think that Miss Doyle providing 2 out of the 3 cards that deal with Watcher as being a really good get for patrice.
  • Unexpected Courage (2) and by extension Scrounge / Resourceful are also places where you are going to end up having to use the card you get back immediately that round.
  • With your intention to go Divination, you'll have 3 classes (Seeker/Survivor/Mystic) so Strength in Numbers is probably better alternative to Unexpected Courage.
  • I always play Promise of Power in Patrice :')
  • Alot of ways, middling cards are better. I'd opt out of Scrounge and go for cards that always get used like Premonition.
  • Backpack(2) is a pretty good card for Patrice because it lets you hold your E-cache and Items without rushing you play it the round you get them.

RGM is also a good ally for Patrice since you will see him easily 3-4 times per scenario if you have both copies.

Thanks for the feedback folks. Between your suggestions and some solo playtesting, I have revised this deck. It's pretty similar -- just a little more tuned.
