Unstoppable Survivor (True Solo, Normal/Hard) Updated 2023

I like your deck description. Concise yet very clear.

For the deck, it also looks straightforward and really effective, perfect for beginner players that do not want to get overwhelmed with heavy mechanics. Good job!

@Valentin1331 Thank you, that means a lot, coming from an expert like you!

I like an asset-light, skill-heavy deck. I think you nailed the Survivor vibe here!

@PJFrigate thanks!

Will be trying out this game tomorrow while teaching a friend the game (he will be playing Winifred's deck), looking forward to it! Any reason why Yaotl is no longer being used in Pete/Duke decks? I always enjoyed that combination.

@chunks would love to hear how your game goes! On one hand Yaotl) is certainly a good ally in combination with +4 desperate skills, on the other hand Leo) De Luca's extra action and Jacob) Morrison +2 on any skill give you a higher consistency in the game!

@walla Had a great time with the deck! Played through Night of the Zealot with my friend (who was new to the game) and was the sole survivor of the last scenario! Also thank you for explaining about Yaotl!

@chunks delighted to hear!

I think the deck is missing card draw? I would have gone for Unrelenting as an upgrade, and probably true survivor for recursion. Obviously it becomes more money intensive. With Jacob only being readied by discarding a card, it feels limiting? With no added bless tokens, it feels like the ability is more useful for duke.

@Rolandironfist All great points! (1) Unrelenting: what would you swap with? Since this deck needs little set up, I found that Short Supply + Scrounge for Supplies + Resourceful often give me the cards I want. Worst case scenario, I use a turn to draw four cards with Leo de Luca. (2) True survivor: since it costs 3xp and 3 resources, I'd upgrade after the other priority cards. (3) Jacob: playing true solo in normal/hard I ready him more often that I ready Duke for how useful he is!

So At A Crossroads and Unrelenting are the 2 good card draw cards that survivor now has (outside of Nothing left to Lose) So I'd probably remove the desperates, but if you think you're getting good value out of them, then I'm not sure! I'm surprised you get such good value out of jacob when he's just an unexpected courage. As in, every card in your hand becomes an unexpected courage, and the desperates by definition lose symbols in that context. But you would need the cards to feed him so net positive card draw is probably good? Otherwise I'm sure you're quickly down to 1 card a turn? And what if that card is a card you want to play?

@Rolandironfist I find Desperate skills to be great because during a campaign there are often some hard tests in mid-late scenarios that have 6+ skill value (scenario cards, elite enemy...). Desperate skills can be played from turn one thanks to In the Thick of It. I added Take Heart because it combines draw and resources in case I need to play an asset while Dark Horse is in play. The benefit of Jacob is that every card in my hand becomes a Lucky rather than an Unexpected Courage, improving the reliability of the chaos bag. This deck uses only 26xp, I agree that At A Crossroads, Unrelenting and also Stroke of Luck can be nice upgrades with the extra XP.

What do you think about Granny Orne (3) instead of Jacob? Would the stat bonuses and readying outweigh the +2 reaction?

@An_Undecayed_Whately I agree that Granny Orne (3) is amazing and she would be the stronger ally in most decks, but Ashcan Pete's unique ability to ready Jacob Morrison (3) by discarding a card makes Jacob +2 reaction more consistent on all types of tests, including fight and agility. Have you seen the new card Long Shot (0) from The Feast of Hemlock? It will help Duke deal 3 damage in one action, I will try replacing Sledgehammer (0) with two Ice Pick (1) and Scavenging (0) to have more flexibility.

Hello, I really like this deck. Thanks to her, I fell in love with playing solo. Please tell me if you will release an update to this deck with cards from The Feast of Hemlock Vale?

@An_Undecayed_Whately I followed your suggestion to replace Jacob Morrison (3) with Granny Orne (3) in the new deck, with many other improvements with the cards in Feast of Hemlock Vale. Thanks for the idea!
