This is the deck I've been putting together for a solo run with my friend here Jim. I'm actually publishing this to see if anyone has some ideas for what I've got going on. Right now I've got Fire Axe to complement Jim's 3 Combat, obvious Shrivelling and Rite of Seeking for more combat options and investigating. Holy Rosary gives him some horror soak and a much needed boost to 5 Willpower. Scrying is an easy include in solo play, and Blinding Light and Ward of Protection are for sticky situations.

Guard Dog is an interesting include I got from another Jim list. I like the damage soak, and I like the return damage too. Liquid Courage is a bit of a throwaway include because frankly I wasn't sure how to fill out the last of my 5 flex slots.

A notable card that I excluded is Ritual Candles. I think they're an amazing card, but Jim already gets two free passes on Skulls, and frankly between Jim's Trumpet and the Axe (and the 1 of flashlight because why not), I don't have hand slots for them.

So yeah, any thoughts on this? I am keen to give it a go this weekend, though admittedly I feel like I'd be able to build a similar, stronger deck with Agnes Baker.

Throw liquid courage away for Leo maybe.

Leo De Luca is an interesting suggestion. He's another high cost card (helps Fire Axe's damage clause stay relevant), and extra actions are insanely useful. I think in that case I'd probably replace the Guard Dog as well, leaving another slot for something simple like Lucky!.

Thanks for the suggestion!
