Been messing around with building Amina, and while I could make a decent clue-getter, flex and support I wanted to see if I could build her as a fighter. I was struggling a bit until I looked back at EotE and Dragon Pole.

With that you want to fill in the spell slots, but with Summon Servitor with claws and brand of Cthuga that's a decent number of fist based arcane fight slots. That is the full In the Thick of It, but ceremonial sickle and enchanted blade that's good amount of weapons. You can't combine Dragon Pole with any of these at the start, but I like having a good density of ways to kill of the start. Scrying and Talisman are ways to cheaply fill in arcane slots, with Familiar spirit another arcane slot and all of them cheap sacs to Summon Servitor.

Extra slots should let Eldritch Initiation search for cards pretty fast even if a lot of them are filled. Explosive Wards is an extra kill spell and another way to get rid of cards with doom.

I'm testing if Amina's ability can let her skip the economy cards entirely.

Immediate Upgrades are Binding Jar, Ghastly Possession, then upgrading Living Ink. I'll have to test a lot to see how slot management works in this.

Quick thought: Spend your remaining 1 xp on Claws that Catch. This gives you another damage dealing option. If you do that, I suggest dropping the Sickles for some economy cards.

@PJFrigate I hadn't figured out how to mark customizable cards, which was the only reason that Claws that Catch wasn't clicked.

I could drop the sickle, but I'm still testing how much the deck needs economy cards and how many weapons. I think Amina's ability adds a lot of economy and want to see if that can be pushed. If I have more than enough weapons at level 0, I would consider swapping the brands with the binding jars and the familiar spirits for another arcane asset.

It's also possible that Astral Mirror as a late upgrade might still be providing extra hand slots, so that should be in the upgrade options.

Hi! Very good deck and thanks for sharing it! I'm just wondering how you're going to manage doom? I've made some changes about that and I'll play it in The Scarlet Keys tonight. If it works well for me, I will tell. THANK YOU!
