This deck was specifically designed to be used in true solo.

I have completed Dunwich Legacy with this deck and (after many iterations) this version did OK.

Many of the card choices are based on being very action efficient (as many fast and cards as possible), as I have found this is often the biggest drag on a deck when playing true solo.

Unsurprisingly managing the low sanity is difficult until the soak capacity of Spiritual Resolve is online, but after this the deck seems to do fine.

Upgrade path

6XP (6) Enchanted Blade

2XP (8) "If it bleeds..." => Eon Chart

4XP (12) Emergency Cache => "I've had worse…"

5XP (17) Crack the Case => Spiritual Resolve

6XP (23) On the Hunt

I don't consider myself an Arkham expert by any means and would appreciate any suggestions to improve upon this deck for true solo play.

Solid list, looks strong to me. Some ideas I have:

@Windreader Thanks for the input

  • I did consider [Art Student](/card/02149), tempo being critical in true solo, but found the healing from medical student useful as it cleaned up from when I was without soak. True it does become redundant when [Spiritual Resolve](/card/06323) is online so I'll give it a whirl.
  • Totally agree that ["If it bleeds..."](/card/02225) is the weakest card in the deck being contingent on 'Monster' type. [Shortcut](/card/02022) is probably a good replacement as yet again, tempo, tempo, tempo...
  • What would you drop for [Prepared for the Worst](/card/02184)? Maybe drop the ["If it bleeds..."](/card/02225) for one of each of [Shortcut](/card/02022) and the [Prepared for the Worst](/card/02184)?
