This is my deck for a mostly blind playthrough of Edge of the Earth with my fiancé. Is this a meme deck? Absolutely!

Like many of you I wanted to build a Sled Dog deck as soon as I saw the card. Is this the best shell for the card? Definitely not! However, as you can see the doggo density (TM) of this deck is as high as it gets. Not only do we play the full set of sled doggos but we also play both Guard Dogs as well as the goodest boi Duke for a grand total of 7 doggos.

The nice synergy between Ashcan + In The Thick of It + Desperate Skills is on display here. I'm using my 3XP to immediately purchase Charisma. Note that Duke does not take up an ally slot, so with one copy of charisma our doggo count can already reach 4-5 in a single game (2 sled + duke + guard dog or duke + 4 sled).

It's very unlikely you will ever get a game with all 4 sled doggos in play, but I can dream! One Sled Dog is unremarkable, two is just OK, three is where they start becoming a big deal. Calling in Favors and Eureka! are helping us dig for dogs. We will plan to always have Duke around, so favors is going to dig 9 cards deep for a pupper as well as heal any of our loyal pals.

The rest of the deck is trying to be well-rounded and cover for the off chance Duke gets sent to a farm upstate. I want to play Sledgehammer, ok? We play a few of the usual suspects in "Look what I found!". Rabbit's Foot and Lucky! And of course no dog deck would be complete without a single copy of Lone Wolf for just a pinch of economy.

Will update as I work my way through the campaign with my partner! Likely working with Agnes, though my SO has not decided what 'gator to play yet. Cheers!

Given that you're going 2x Guard Dog and 4x Sled Dog, you should consider 2x Rod of Animalism (1) as your In the Thick of It pick.
It'd also provide a slight discount when purchasing said dogs.
With these costs (3 resources each), it'd also help with putting them in play.

Granted you'd have to draw the Rod of Animalism (1) first, but I'd say it's worth waiting to get it in play first before the Sled Dogs anyway.

That's totally fair, though I think I favor the consistency of a guaranteed extra ally slot from the jump with charisma. With only one charisma you have already kind of achieved the end goal of being able to support 4 sled dogs at one time. And as you've stated the rod does need to actually be drawn for me to benefit from it. Would consider it as a first upgrade but I'm not super concerned about the cost of dogs. If I've already drawn them and my hand is clogged with doggos that's probably a good problem to have. As of now this deck is total theorycrafting and I have not tested it yet. I think with just Duke + desperate skills you should be able to give yourself enough positive tempo to buy the time to accumulate those 3 resources needed for a sled dog.
