Harvey Walters, solo in Carcosa

The purpose of this deck was first of all to use Miskatonic Archaeology Funding. So I made it with Harvey Walters. An other option would be to play with Minh Thi Phan to get Peter Sylvestre in. I made this deck to play it solo. That's why I have as much as needed solutions to manage monsters :

• "I've got a plan!" ,
• Occult Invocation ,
• Mind over Matter ,
• Occult Lexicon ,

As you only have Miskatonic allies, I thought this would be good to add, with Versatile , Leo De Luca ! And this was clearly a very good option ! An other good option, which I thought only at the very end of the campaign, would be to add Peter Sylvestre with an other Versatile , as of course Peter is a miskatonic ally.

Overview :

Version of Harvey Walters at the beginning.

Main Strategy :
Set up your allies as quickly as possible. First Dr. Milan Christopher , and then Leo De Luca when you will get him with xp. Therefore you can start by putting a "small" ally triggering a effect while entering into play, then playing Calling in Favors to look for Milan or Leo. And then you can put again your small ally, who will trigger again his effect while entering into play. This works very well with a Laboratory Assistant . Then look for clues, draw as much as possible cards to go fast in the scenario and avoid monsters.

You have a few possibilities to neutralize Thrice-Damned Curiosity :

• Mr. "Rook" . A shame he is not "Miskatonic". Play his secrets as fast as possible to draw your weakness before having too much cards in your hand,

• Bizarre Diagnosis ,

• Alchemical Distillation , upgraded with Mending Distillate (first upgrade to do).

upgrades :
Clearly first (8 xp):

• Miskatonic Archaeology Funding. This is the purpose of this deck ! And truly necessary to put your allies in play,

• Versatile . To get Leo De Luca ,

• Hiking Boots . Because you need agility to evade small monsters.

Then up to how you would like to play (in any order) :

• Alchemical Distillation : Mending Distillate (first), Refined, Quickening Distillate, and then if you can Perfected,

• Upgrade Mind over Matter to draw more cards while triggering Harvey's hability,

• Upgrade Occult Lexicon to draw more cards, to get more ressources or to deal more damage,

• Upgrade "I've got a plan!" . It is cheaper with a better fight,

• Upgrade Cryptic Writings to get more ressources. An other option could be Emergency Cache because you draw a card, which triggers Harvey's hability,

Progress of the campaign and th independant scenarii :
When I got Abbess Allegria Di Biase , I added Charisma , in my deck. Otherwise I wouldn't do it, as you clearly don't need it. The last part of the campaign was a nightmare as the deck is in pain when you can't look for clues during Acts.
