Getting tired of a refined deck? Getting tired of being too strong? Getting tired of always drawing the cards you want? You should tried the investigator with the biggest deck ever. Here comes Mandy with her pockets full of cards.
You never know what you draw in the beginning of each game. You never know which cards you are going to remove from game due to Through the Gates. You never know when you will find the Shocking Discovery during you search. You never know which upgraded version you gonna get from Shrewd Analysis. Every game is a different journey for you. Stop playing an investigator (for example, parallel Agnes Baker) with 25 deck size because consistency is boring.
This deck is meant to draw a lot of cards in multiplayer games and to do a lot of investigation. Fight is not a good option but you can try to evade with the stat boost from Hiking Boots. Always choose to resolve 1 additional target in your search so you draw as many cards as possible.
The key cards of this deck are Unearth the Ancients, Old Book of Lore and Leo De Luca. Unearth the Ancients saves resources and action and creates possible card-drawing. Do not forget you can play Eidetic Memory as a copy of Unearth the Ancients. Old Book of Lore helps you draw cards fast in the early game. Leo De Luca becomes Mandy's best assistant and you will have enough resources for him because most of events are zero-cost. I have played this deck for months and never have any problem with resources.
The weakest cards in this deck are Research Librarian, Fey and Arcane Enlightenment. Free feel to replace them.
I have played this Mandy for 20 scenarios (two campaigns and some side quests) with my 2 friends and this is what my deck becomes of. However, I still strongly discourage anyone to use a deck with high XP into a brand new campaign since it makes the game too easy.
