First published deck--please be kind, lol! I'm new to this.

This deck is for getting started with The Forgotten Age campaign and I used Finn Edwards as the second investigator.

The goals are to:

1) Gather lots of clues using Fingerprint Kit, Seeking Answers, Working a Hunch, Deduction.

and

2) Help counteract and deal with enemies when necessary via Disc of Itzamna, Mind over Matter, "I've got a plan!"

Jun 29, 2021 RedRedshaw · 383 Looks pretty good! I don't want to nit-pick too much since half the fun/the way you learn is by playing the cards and finding what works better. I'll give my opinion on a some ways I think you could improve it but I highly encourage you to disregard my opinion and see what works for yourself through game testing: 1) Ursula doesn't need Mind Over Matter. Since she already has 4 Speed, Mind Over Matter only helps with fighting enemies which ideally isn't something you want to be doing at all as Ursula. I've Got a Plan is handy for assisting against problem enemies and bosses so keep those but leave the regular fighting to the Guardians. 2) Slap some Perceptions into this deck. Its your bread and butter. 3) You're woefully short on economy (if you don't draw Dr. Milan ASAP). Consider tossing in a couple Crack the Cases, Burning the Midnight Oils, or even Emergency Caches so that you can fund all your cool cards. 4) Medical Texts. Very slow card, and quite risky! Nothing sucks more than taking 2 actions and 2 resources (with a hand slot to boot) only to accidentally hurt your friend with an unlucky token pull. Ursula's ability to take relics isn't crazy strong but it does open up the option to take Hallowed Mirror which is a fantastic healing support option.
Jul 02, 2021 LivefromBenefitSt · 1023 I'm thinking you want more economy in there, since you have a pretty hefty cost curve. Crack the Case is very solid for Ursula, since it doesn't slow her down, and I wouldn't be surprised if you only rarely had resources to use Hyperawareness. Obviously, Dr. Milan Christopher will help out, but he's also a big speed bump at the beginning. Any thoughts about upgrades?
