What has 2 hands in the morning, 6 hands during the day, and 4 hands at night? Patrice Hathaway w Astral Mirror, Binder's Jar & 2 Summoned Hounds!
Who wants to play a mystic that just tests everything using Willpower & uses lots of spells? We don't do spells here, and we're just as interested in using other stats for tests as other classes!
Hard mulligan for Scavenging and Astral Mirror. Keep any Schoffner's drawn for econ. It's very important that we play Scavenging, Ecache & Astral Mirror when we draw them, but since nearly everything else in the deck is an item, we're able to do silly things!
Don't feel too bad if you draw Chance Encounter before Summoned Hound. That's what Resourceful is for! It also helps get back Scavenging, dilemmas when you want them, or Schoffner's when you need the econ.
We use Scroll of Secrets or Act of Desperation to overwrite Sword Cane/Derringer when they're out of secrets/bulelts/exhausted or when we have too much Doom on our Dowsing Rod/Hallowed Chalice. The extra play action from Astral Mirror sometimes lets us get out Sword Cane without provoking AoOs & getting a free attack/evade.
I stand by the 2 Relic Hunters being an early upgrade, as 4 willpower isn't much & sometimes you need to boost your agility to evade/use track shoes & can't keep up w St Hubert's Key constantly healing you & discarding itself.
We don't bother dealing w Watcher From Another Dimension because playing an Improvised Shield only costs a Schoffner's buck and exhausting Astral Mirror, but eventually we want to simply do a basic fight action against it while Fend Off is in our hand so that it gains Aloof & sits on the map for the rest of the mission.
From here, I'd recommend cutting Fortuitous Discovery, Making Preparations, & Drawn to the Flame for the Chance Encounter/Summoned Hound combo + Cornereds (a Patrice staple). If you get enough XP for Drawing thin, cutting Winging Its is fine. Upgrading Old Keyrings, Pocket Multi-Tool & Scavenging is also very nice. If you feel your party doesn't need healing/has better options for healing, cutting a Hallowed Challice for the Fend Off is also quite good...
Another thing that's hype for the XP rich... Quick Learner's difficulty reduction can apply to your Summoned Hound's actions & your Astral Mirror action will be during the high difficulty portion of the turn sometimes!
