A deck of friend, published here for shareability and access for a campaign. Can I just say, Arrogance is one of the most beautiful designs for a card in all of Arkham, my god. The simplicity, the procedural rhetoric of the effect, the art on the card, I want to weep.

I would put in some more resource generation, otherwise it's really simple and effective. I like it :)

@Wolf You might be right. I was just copying it down on here, haha. I figure somewhere between the resources off Thieves' Kit, the one Emergency Cache, the two "Watch this!", and the deck leaning a little on skills it should work.

@Wolf Another note is there is four copies of Motivational Speech and Stand Together going around in this party, haha

Uuu, yes! Motivational Speech and Stand Together should help a lot, but where I see a problem is in playing all of those assets from the start of the game consistently, since Cat Burglar cost 4, Thieves' Kit 3, Lockpicks 3, Disguise 3 and Lucky Cigarette Case 2 resources. Thieves' Kit's resources (I find) that they usually help for using events through the game, since they drip in slowly and "Watch this!"'s instant speed is fairly balanced by depending on the tests already being done. I usually want all of those assets before, so my Agility () is already high for doing those skill tests. As said - I like it - but I prefer my resources for skill increasing assets from the start rather than later.

@Wolf Yeah, I didn't design it, but I actually think its fine. I think something here is that Winifred Habbamock can just pitch two cards in a test for a new card, which changes the math a little. Flood is worse than famine. The deck will have to put up with holding onto assets sometimes, but it's not the worst fate. The starting hand isn't going to necessarily have everything you'd want for setup anyhow. You're right to consider that as a potential hiccup in the deck. It's all a give n' take, deck creation, haha.

Yeah. Exactly what I meant. The starting resource potential I find is very important in Asset-heavy decks, while the constant drip of resources is perfect for Events. Skill-heavy decks are basically made for cheating, so Winni should do just fine even with that ;) Let us know how it goes and if she had to take many resource-gain basic actions.

@Wolf There's still time, I may convince her to at least cut 1 Disguise for 1 Emergency Cache, lol. We'll see.
