Desperate Carson Sinclair needs blessing

Take in the Thick of It immediately to reduce sanity by 2. Which gets into getting a Bestow Resolve, and Glory from Axe. Glory allows a heal if your Sanity ever drops below 3.

At deck building, replace Nkosi Mabati with Tetsuo Mori, to help search up the Axe, Mirror, or Armor since you have no room for Prepare for the Worst.

Talisman of Protection or Something Worth Fighting For can all pad your sanity while you stay Desperate.

Bestow Resolve allows you to commit all the skill cards as ????, and resourceful is here to bring back Keep Faith for more bless in addition to its ??? icon when committed with Bestow Resolve.

Buy into Blessing of Isis ASAP, and then the upgrades are mostly just grabbing more for Axe, leveled version of Mirror, and better Hunter's Armor for survival. This deck does not need much XP since you would want to keep all the desperate skills, though they are the first to be cut if deck space is needed.

There are a possibility of grabbing Hallow for doom reduction if excess XP is needed.

Find the person with the best Elder Sign, and stick to them as you turn their bless draws into it with Isis while you draw and benefit as well.
