Jenny Barnes Starter Deck

This deck is specifically for players who only have 2 copies of the Core set (or 1 revised core) and the 2017 Dunwich Legacy expansion pack (not to be confused with the recently released Campaign Expansion, which includes all the mythos packs). This Jenny Barnes deck relies on converting resources to increase the investigator's intellect and agility in a skill test, allowing her to evade enemies and gather clues with a relatively high chance of success.

It's not a particularly complicated setup. You need to mulligan hard for Dr. Milan Christopher and Hyperawareness. You power your resource sink with Jenny's extra resource per turn and from investigating with Dr. Milan, and you can adjust how many resources you put into Hyperawareness depending on the test.

The goal is to generate as large a money pool as you can. Once you hit double digits, you can be at least +3 or +4 against an intellect or agility skill check. Your skill cards (and flashlights) are meant to save you money that you'd otherwise put into your sink. Cards like Think on Your Feet or Elusive are meant to escape enemies that you don't want to evade and move around the map without taking an action.

In terms of upgrades, you're only looking for 2 cards: Sure Gamble and Hot Streak. Hot Streak grows your resource pool instantly, while Sure Gamble helps you pass tests you need to pass. The two cards you're looking to bump off are Opportunist (replace with Hot Streak) and Sneak Attack (replace with Sure Gamble). Once Hot Streak is in the deck, think of it as a second copy of Dr. Milan Christopher - so do your best to mulligan for that too.

Because Jenny is primarily relying on agility for enemy management, she would prefer to work with another investigator who specialises in combat - like Roland Banks or Zoey Samaras.
