Rex Murphy - News Flash (Beginner friendly demo set)

This is one of a set of decks designed to create a demonstration set to let new players try the game out. The intention is to give new players a meaningful choice between chars by making each play a little different to the others without overly nerfing them to the point of not being fun. This does mean some decks are stronger than others but no one has so far has cared.

The other decks can be found here: [This section under construction - I will edit these as I publish each deck but bare with me it might take a few days do to the write ups]

Roland: Firearm based combatant with passive clue acquisition.

Zoey: Heavy duty melee damage purist.

Skids: Combat rogue with high evasion and burst damage options.

Jenny: Cash driven multi action generalist

Daisy: Clue hunter/caster hybrid with additional support functionality.

Rex: Ellusive heavy duty clue hunter

Agnes: Classic Mage

Jim: Melee/spell hybrid tank

Wendy: Stealth rogue, event driven reactive deck

Ashcan: Draw heavy flexible damage dealer and clue hunter hybrid

If you don’t mind proxying or some substitutions, the only restriction between using some of these together is in the unique allies though I have tried to minimise overlap by only allowing them to be in pairings I would not expect to be picked together very often (Milan in both seekers, Leo in both rogues etc).

Disclaimer: Where possible I have tried to test these decks, though some have had more testing than others and one or two are as yet untested. I have added a second disclaimer at the bottom where this is the case. As I get the chance to try them out I may well update them a bit. I certainly welcome feedback if anyone does try them out or has suggestions.

**PLAYING AS REX: Evasive clue hunter extraordinaire

__

Ex-clues-ive Rex's primary function is as clue hunter extraordinaire. Muligan hard for Dr. Milan Christopher and/or Magnifying Glasses to boost your and get that delightful unique ability triggering as quick as possible. Deduction, Perception and Working a Hunch all let you lean into this further. Note that the double icon on Working a Hunch means if needed it can be used to push you into the bonus clue zone potentially effectively getting that free clue without needing to spend the cash in some cases.

Pay per view If you can get Dr. Milan Christopher down, you should have alot of cash. Burglary offers a backup option if needed while you dig for him. In either case this deck runs very cash rich allowing you to pay for skill boosts through Hyperawareness and Physical Training, or indeed high cost events where needed.

Rapid Circulation Elusive and Shortcut give you multiple ways to move quickly. This Rex should be sneaking around the edges where ever he can. At a push it also lets you move team mates in to let them deal with the trouble. Hyperawareness, Manual Dexterity, and Mind over Matter all give you options to evade when needed. Leaving those mobs to be dealt with by others.

Hard Hitting News Rex isnt without some means of fighting back however. "I've got a plan!", Mind over Matter and Physical Training can all be used to deal damage if needed.

Upgrading Very few of the options for upgrading for Rex are that vital with this deck. Theyre nice but far from as essential as upgrading is in other chars. That said some nice toys include: Disc of Itzamna, Pathfinder.
