A deck optimized to tech The Scarlet Keys Campaign by dealing with Concealed Mini-Cards faster, using just The Scarlet Keys Investigator Expansion cards.

The main annoyance with Mystic in TSK campaign is that the expose mechanic allow / / to do the job, but not and you don't wanna waste charges. Agnes has her to do the automatic expose, and this deck will also push her to be up to the job with Pocket Multi Tool, which also helps Summoned Servitor doing the jaws.

(There is an another 2 packs TSK tech deck using Roland Banks : TSK Campaign Tech Deck No. 1. If you wanna use that together, give Nature of the Beast to Roland. You can replace 2x Predator or Prey to 2x "Look what I found!" and keep them in. Roland can reduce the shroud for you to make use of that, hint hint!)

► About "2 Packs Deck Guide"
　A series of decks made with the new distribution model in mind, requiring a Revised Core Set box + just 1 more Investigator Expansion box. ƴ character on the deck's name means the additional box it uses is The Scarlet Keys Investigator Expansion.
　It maximizes the chance of newcomers being able to build and learn to play the game, enjoying the story on Standard difficulty ASAP. They can then get into deck-building later if they wished to do so. See other decks in the "2 Packs Deck Guide" series here.

Sink any more XPs into repurchasing Lifeline. It is fine if that delays Sin-Eater, it is not that important.

How to play

• Agnes Baker : Use automatic damage from her to expose instead of to an enemy.
• Shrivelling, Rite of Seeking ••, Holy Rosary, Arcane Initiate : Do normal Mystic jobs. In most cases you have better options than wasting these charges exposing mini-cards.
• Pocket Multi Tool :
  • Signal Mirror adds ubiquitous skill value to either Agnes's normal Evade, Onyx Pentacle when using with Holy Rosary, or Summoned Servitor using Jaws that Snatch.
  • Pry Bar takes on Nature of the Beast encounter draw.
  • Detachable let others at the same location takes on Nature of the Beast encounter draw.
• Summoned Servitor : Safe expose. Extra action equals more exposing and you can make it do the job somewhere remote, not even having to engage the enemy that fell off the shadow.
  • Jaws that Snatch gets boost from Pocket Multi Tool : Signal Mirror.
  • Claws that Catch adds the required different action for Dæmonic Influence. Also kills enemy that fell off the shadow.
  • Dreaming Call clean up heavily doomed chalice / pentacle, or return Forbidden Knowledge to hand.
  • Dæmonic Influence exposes 2 mini-cards with Claws that Catch + Jaws that Snatch.
  • Can kill Arcane Initiate by using her as a sacrifice.
• Onyx Pentacle : Safe expose. Exposed a mini-card remotely by adding doom. If it is correct enemy falls on that location and you do not need to fight it immediately. Gets a boost from Pocket Multi Tool : Signal Mirror.
• Forbidden Knowledge : Cause horror counter to expose 1 mini-card.
• Hallowed Chalice : Recover for more horror play.
• Fearless : Recover for more horror play.
• Ward of Protection : Cause horror counter to expose 1 mini-card. Bypass Revelation on Nature of the Beast.
• Nature of the Beast • : If you get a Revelation, combo with Ward of Protection to expose 2 mini-card.
• Ghastly Possession • : Allow more aggressive doom play on Hallowed Chalice / Onyx Pentacle. Searchable with Arcane Initiate. Can replenish 2 charges on Shrivelling.
• Sin-Eater ••• : Final upgrade to allow rapid use of Onyx Pentacle / Hallowed Chalice. Expensive but it does not disrupt the deck's balance.
• Lifeline • : You can amass a lot of failed actions from Summoned Servitor : Dæmonic Influence. Can continue playing after Rite of Seeking (2) ends your turn.

True Solo Adjustments

Cards for this adjustment are included in the Side Deck.

• Instead of "Claws that Catch" we are getting "Eyes of Flame".
• Replace 2x Survival Instinct with 2x Refine. Try finding Refine and Summoned Servitor in the 1st scenario and make the "Eyes of Flame" command appear to start investigating.
• Replace 2x Manual Dexterity with 2x Flashlight.
• Replace 2x Emergency Cache with 2x "Look what I found!". It works with "Eyes of Flame" 4 and your 2 , whichever you are aiming the fail range to land at.
• Please play on Easy. Limited collection decks are already kinda rough on Standard in multiplayer. True Solo definitely needs adjustment down a notch.

True solo upgrade plan after these adjustments looks like this :
