Cancellation HO!

This version of Daniela is obsessed with cancelling enemy attacks. from Obfuscation and Infighting to Dodge and Hand of Fate, you can negate a whopping 11+ attacks (the + is dependent on hits for Infighting of course). Each cancel is a "free" point of damage or evade. Close Call can combine with your automatic evade to instantly delete troublesome hostiles. Heroic Rescue, "Get behind me!", and First Watch ensure you take the hits and trigger your passive rather than your allies, as safeguard helps you keep up with them.

Tetsuo and Guard Dog are "Disposable" allies, acting as damage soakers with benefits, especially Tetsuo who helps get out your gear alongside the Backpacks. The Bangle of Jinxes should be self-explanatory, as should the Derringers, while the Timeworn Brands are expensive but powerful. The real key is Jessica and Peter, who combined can soak 1 damage and horror per round indefinitely, allow you to literally ignore and auto-kill weaker foes.

Resourceful lets you recover lost red cards. If you aren't expecting asset hate to ruin your day, recur Close Call for even more instant-deletion.

-> Ignore the Scenario 1 and 2 bits, ArkhamDB hates my guts it seems.

I think you are missing the part of Daniela Reyes ability, (except an attack of opportunity you provoked), means that the attacks you plan on canceling with Obfuscation don't trigger her ability

Even with the above caveat, I think this is a good idea. Much of the deck-building will be based on working around the drawback of versatile, but still, Daniella's ability seems to have the wording of Obfuscation in mind. The biggest drawback I see is that it's competing for the spot of Flesh Ward, but both have charges, and you could make a case that will will be used. I'm running Daniella through Expert Carcosa and was struggling to come up with more upgrades, I will definitely be giving this a try!

The fix is in, dropped the obfuscates for flesh wards, replaced bruiser and heroic rescue with 2x Hypnotic Gaze, which DO work with daniela. Coincidentally, this makes this deck officially have two copies of every synergistic attack cancelling card daniela can access save for infighting.
