Nuole's Dog Duke

With Fieldwork and Magnifying Glass, every "move and investigate" with Duke is a 7. With that much raw investigative power, Scavenging should be triggering fairly frequently. You can thus freely throw your 7 items (2x Lantern, 2x Mag Glass, 2x Rabbit's Foot, 1 Leather Coat) to re-ready Duke. Plenty of skill cards + Lucky! and upgrade Em Cache == lots of card draw, so a good chance of getting multiple copies of those items to throw.

Scrapper + Duke helps with fighting, and the deck is cheap enough that most resources can go to Scrapper. Overpower and Lucky! are there in a pinch, with Lantern helping with those Whipporwhills. Ward of Protection helps with a bad draw from the encounter deck.

Could swap out Unexpected Courage for Rise to the Occasion.

Flare because this Duke is playing with a double charisma Skids.

Note: this is after Blood on the Altar.
