Chaos Wrangler Akachi

Context

Three players headed into The Dream-Eaters and (fan made) Return to The Innsmouth Conspiracy campaigns blind. Akachi is accompanied by ["Shotgun Sniper" Mark](https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/4288867) and ["Miskatonic AF" Harvey](https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/4300455).

Investigating Arkham's horrors presents two core problems; clues and enemies. With three players, two of whom are dedicated to each core problem respectively, this third deck aims to excel and contribute in different ways.

Token Sealer

Akachi supports her group by making every test easier.
2x [The Chthonian Stone](/card/04030) : The worst of
2x [Seal of the Seventh Sign](/card/04311) : The mighty
2x [Protective Incantation](/card/04031) : Two worst remaining tokens
Akachi will need to pitch in getting clues and dealing damage as well, with yet more spells. This will all need more than two arcane slots, and a reliable stream of resources for the [Protective Incantation](/card/04031) upkeep.

[Occult Reliquary](/card/10132) holds a [Stone](/card/04030) (or an [Incantation](/card/04031)), opening up a hand slot for [Sign Magick](/card/54008). [The Hierophant • V](/card/54007) opens up accessory slots for arcane use, expandable with 2x [Relic Hunter](/card/02157). This provides a potential for seven arcane slots, of which "only" five are needed, leaving two of the accessory/arcane slots open for [Rosaries](/card/01059).

8/33 cards are earmarked for resources. Making every card drawn a 24% chance to be resource positive. Also, Akachi's signature [Spirit-Speaker](/card/03014) turns upgraded [Alchemical Transmutation](/card/52007) into a potential play for 5 instant resources.

Akachi's bonus charges, and the [Spirit-Speaker](/card/03014), help get extra value out of her sorcerous assets. Upgraded [Uncage the Soul](/card/09095) and [Call the Beyond](/card/10099) help maintain tempo when charges do run out.

Static skill boosts are in part covered by sealing tokens. But [Holy Rosary](/card/01059), [Living Ink](/card/09079) (eventually +2 & +2) and [Recall the Future](/card/04158) will help keep the shaman empowered as well.
