Since I played solo I included a lot of experience in this deck so there are many weaknesses. Any improvement recommendation is welcome. By now I was able to finish first part of the scenario with this deck in solo mode.

Jan 15, 2020 Lucaxiom · 3985 Dubious choices: Timeworn Brand on a 2 character. I'm guessing the boosting attack got your attention, but you're dying before ever seeing an elite enemy, so... Thermos... on a standalone mission... where you don't have, nor will ever incur, trauma of any kind... why? Sacrifice; good for assets with limited uses that don't get discarded when they run out of uses. Number of viable targets in your deck for Sacrifice: 2 (the two copies of Shrivelling). When you have 6, think about including Sacrifice, otherwise leave it out of your deck. Book of Shadows. Same problem as Sacrifice; only Shrivelling benefits from it's inclusion. Good choices: Peter Sylvestre/Forbidden Knowledge/Painkillers: solid combo, I'm guessing you know why. Fine Clothes: must help a lot with Murder At The Excelsior Hotel, especially with Agnes's low stats. Holy Rosary/Fearless: managing your horror is integral to playing Agnes well, but you can go further. Things to add: More clue gathering: you need more than just Sixth Sense when playing alone. Add at least two out of the following four: Flashlight, Rite of Seeking, Drawn to the Flame, "Look what I found!". More Survivor () cards. Seriously, they can shore up a bunch of weaknesses. Examples: Lucky!, Hiding Spot, Snare Trap. More skill cards. Your base number are not enough. Get and booster. Examples: Guts, Manual Dexterity, Survival Instinct (2), Defiance. Fewer high cost cards: be mindful of your deck's total cost. Keep it below 42.
Jan 23, 2020 Xavor · 44 Thanks a lot for you feedback Lucaxiom. Very appreciated. Finally I was able to finish the scenario in one hand solo but must say that I was very lucky. As you said Timeworn Brand, Thermos and Sacrifice were totally useless. Book of shadows helped me to add charges to Shrivelling just when I needed it what, together with Sixth Sense, Fine Clothes and Peter, were vital (and, of course, those solid combos you mentioned). Thanks a lot !.
