Hello! I'm relatively new to Arkham Horror, and as such not a great deck designer, however I fell in love with Trish and played pretty much exclusively her.
This deck is designed around having Delilah O'Rourke deal with your problems while you hop around locations, get clues and earn money in the process.
With Investments, Crack the Case and Emergency Cache, you should have enough resources to afford Delilah's services, as well as do a Backstab, a Sneak Attack or a little Coup de Grâce on the side to handle other enemies.
will help you play some more expensive cards, like Damning Testimony or Lockpicks or even Lucky Cigarette Case should you choose. It's easier if you combine it with Breaking and Entering or Lockpicks.
Other cards included:
- Obfuscation for dodging unnecessary damage, especially if you need to move an enemy somewhere with clues
- Working a Hunch for triggering automatic evades, and Magnifying Glass to help with higher shroud
- Eureka! helps you search for cards you need
- Guts and Inquiring Mind to help passing tests, coupled with Higher Education and Streetwise
- Bizarre Diagnosis and Logical Reasoning as backups for dealing with damage, horror and Frozen in Fear.
I'm definitely not great at Arkham Horror, so I would appreciate any suggestions and recommendations if you think there are better options I could have missed... Thank you!!!
EDIT: Thanks to the suggestions of SilverTwilightLodgeJanitor, I made some changes to the deck, which can be found here.

May 31, 2023Thank you for the comment! I also love Easy Mark, I upgrade into it ASAP usually, and with this deck I didn't include it because I wanted to play around Delilah so much :D There's just something about being able to pay away your problems with a hired assassin at your side. I think you're right about Breaking and Entering, and Faustian Bargains, I'd also replace Lockpicks and probably the two Caches with them. Thank you very much for the input! |
May 31, 2023Although, Higher Education (3) is not possible to include in Trish decks, since she cannot take Seeker level 3 cards :( maybe I will just get rid of it then. |

I noticed, however, that with XP I tended to favour Rogue cards over Seeker ones, upgrading Backstab and Breaking and Entering and later adding Slip Away, getting Charisma, Gene Beauregard and Fergus, funding through Hot Streaks and Easy Marks, etc. Those worked wonders! |
Hi there, thanks for the deck! I'm not an Arkham expert by any means, but I adore Trish. Here are my two cents: a) I'd get rid of Higher Education. It seems this deck currently doesn't have enough draw power to meet that card's requirement consistently. If you wanna run it anyhow (e.g. after adding Deep Knowledge and all that jazz), I'd upgrade to Higher Education immediately; or better yet, jump straight to this without even including the level 0 version. b) For maximizing Trish's reaction ability, gift yourself Gené Beauregard. What an awesome card, and the synergy with Trish is insane. c) Not sure about the viability of Guts here; for protection from the Mythos, I prefer Counterespionage, which syncs well with the big money archetype. d) While we're on the topic of money: I find Easy Mark & Faustian Bargain to be a must (I know, not a particularly original opinion) as they set you up real fast. e) Since Lockpicks don't give you an additional clue on a successful investigate action, they essentially give you minus action economy: you need to play the card (1 action), then investigate for a single clue (another action). I'd instead add another copy of Breaking and Entering and update both quite soon into the campaign. To increase your chances of successful investigate actions until that point: another Magnifying Glass and DEFINITELY Perception & Deduction. Pardon the wall of text, I can't seem to break this up into several paragraphs. Hope this helps, and keep enjoying this awesome investigator! :-D She especially rocks the campaign she came in, what with the hordes of enemies in & around Innsmouth.
