This is the deck I'm planning to play for the TFA campaign play along on the Mythos Busters discord. I'm going to do the Return to TFA and I'm going to be playing true solo so I'm going to need all the luck I can get!

Deckbuilding restrictions restrict me to Core set, the TFA cycle, the starter investigators and the respective Return To boxes which makes for some very difficult deckbuilding.

I'm pretty sure this deck is going to faceplant into the mythos deck then crash and burn but hey, losing can be fun right? With 2 brain the only real way I have to deal with some of the bad mythos stuff is to try and facetank it with Lonnie and the leather jacket although TFA can punish you for relying on allies so who knows if it'll be enough. Planning to upgrade her to Lola later in the campaign if I feel like I can do without her. This is why I've called the deck "Skidmarks" because I'm pretty sure after a couple of scenarios that's all that will be left of this intrepid adventurer.

Upgrade Path

Add 2x Lucky! (4xp)

Add 2x Lucky! (6xp)

Replace 2x Dumb Luck with 2x Dumb Luck (4xp)

Replace 2x Slip Away with 2x Slip Away (4xp)

Replace 2x "Look what I found!" with 2x "Look what I found!" (4xp)

Replace 2x Sneak By with 2x Hot Streak (8xp)

Replace 1x Streetwise with 1x High Roller (2xp)

Replace 1x Leather Jacket with 1x High Roller (2xp)

Replace 1x Lonnie Ritter with 1x Lola Santiago (3xp)

Replace 1x Lucky Cigarette Case with 1x Lucky Cigarette Case (3xp)

Replace 2x Manual Dexterity with 2x Manual Dexterity (4xp)

Total: 40xp

This isn't set in stone, particularily the Hot Streaks. I'll probably swap the order around depending on what I feel the deck is lacking after completing a few scenarios. This is all completely untested. I'm very open to suggestions as well.

Kudos for tackling Parallel "Skids" through The Forgotten Age. In my experience - I have got this guy to Shattered Aeons multiple times solo, but never won - he's one of the best-equipped investigators take through TFA solo. I've also run him as the primary Cluever in a 2-handed team and he's held his own. Limited card pool would mean leaning on Wini cards but the upgrade path looks sound. Good luck. He's a ball.
