This is my Amanda deck after the first six Innsmouth scenarios and Rougarou. I think i finally found an actual good use for Versatile here (yeah, yeah, i know about Premonition Wendy). Leo De Luca fits into her deck perfectly. Amanda has the draw to offset Versatile and find Leo in the first place, she doesn't need a whole lot of money so she can afford paying Mr. De Luca and she is one of the investigators who get the most out of extra actions. With Leo on the table, all the skills she puts under her get an extra use out of them which is just fan-tas-tic.

Amanda is joined by Wini in this campaign, who is doing the vast majority of the killing so Amanda can focus on grabbing the clues. The campaign went exceptionally well, i managed to pick up all of the flashbacks along the way. The decks are also quite fun to play which is why i am sharing them here. Here's the Wini deck: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/1300183

The deck is running a bunch of singletons, but due to drawing so many cards, this is not an issue at all. Those assets aren't really essential anyways but each of them does give a noticeable boost once in play. Serum is the only one that is a bit more important and i used to run two, but i recently switched one of them out for Guided by the Unseen. For the record, i am playing that card as if it exhausted on use as it's clearly broken as printed. I am not too impressed by the Celaeno Fragments, those should probably just be a Mag Glass.

Leo lets me skip Pathfinder, which is a solid tradeoff here. The extra 4XP can go towards upgrading more skills and i made use of the full four actions to investigate many, many times. Pathfinder "only" gives a move action, so you will stay constricted to 3 skill uses during your turn. Shortcut can help set up these big turns with ease and further mitigates not having Pathfinder.

The Daredevil/Aces combo secures important tests and helps blowing through the deck a lot quicker both by thinning the deck and drawing extras. It stops me from playing Momentum, which would be nice in Amanda, but alas. Aces is just better here.

Oh and yes, i am running Charisma specifically for Dr. Maleson. He's the soak i needed to stay alive during the first half of the campaign.

Ever since i upgraded those Acidic Ichors fully, she can also fight remarkably well. I used the four actions from Leo and four Ichor charges to kill the Terror of Devil Reef in one turn :D Emergency Cache(3) keeps those Acidic Ichor charges coming while providing the money to play my expensive assets in the early game. First time i really used that Cache upgrade before but it's been remarkable here.

For the last round of upgrades after Dagon's Lair i'll upgrade the last Vicious Blow and maybe add a Pathfinder (in exchange for either a Maleson or a Eureka).
