This is the Leo Anderson deck I played through The Path to Carcosa alongside Ursula Downs for the third Campaign Play-Along over on the Mythos Busters discord server. I mostly played Leo Anderson to pair nicely alongside Ursula thematically, but also because I've been hankering to give the Shotgun a good college try for a while, and I was pretty impressed with the results. I was able to blast a good number of enemies with a single shot, and using Mauser C96 paired with Beat Cop and Lonnie Ritter to stay very health on cash.

I see two minor input errors on my part in the decklist here, one of my Ever Vigilant is actually supposed to be an Extra Ammunition. I also had an Amnesia added mid-way through the campaign. Extra Ammunition gives you a lot more leeway on Shotgun blasts. Safeguard felt very necessary to be able to keep up with how fast Ursula would rocket around the map, and Calling in Favors was always great to juggle Guard Dog in and out of play for my other more valuable allies.

If I had planned the deck out from the start a bit better, I might've been well served to have Lucky Cigarette Case since two of my guns are aiming to oversucceed anyways, and then fit Daring Maneuver in there to alleviate some of the pressure off of Overpower in smoothing out the damage on Shotgun. But all in all, we managed to kill Hastur fairly convincingly, so I'm happy with how the deck performed.

I published the full playthrough to my YouTube channel on this playlist if you're interested in watching it through.
