This is a Carolyn Deck I plan to run through a blind 4P Expert Carcossa run. She is a mostly clue and support hybrid, although once Power Word is upgraded she can kind of be whatever she wants.

For scenario 1, the gameplan is Magnifying Glass + Grim Memoir + Field Agent to test at an of 8. Meanwhile Field Agent trickles clues in and they are healed with some combination of Power Word and Hallowed Mirror.

We defend against the Mythos Deck with Deny Existance, First Watch, Ward of Protection, and Logical Reasoning. Trying to pass Mythos Tests is a fool's bet, though Promise of Power can help us pass a key one.

Rook, Emporical Hypothesis and eventually Stand Together are there for tempo. Carolyn's passive and Stand Together handle resources.

After the first scenario, the hope is to upgrade Power Word into something usable.

Hey SoulGambit,

cool deck idea. Just a sidenote: I don't see how Power Word helps you in keeping up Field Agent as it states that an investigator heals and does not seem to be able to target allies.

Good catch. Unfortunately I think that means Ancient Stones are the best rout to healing Field Agent, which is difficult to fit into this deck. But it can be done...

Wound up doing -2 Mr. Rook -1 Ward of Protection -1 Field Agent +2 Ancient Stone +1 Shrewd Analysis +2 Alice Luxley

Be careful with your healing choices. Ancient Stones also don't heal allies. Besides Hallowed Mirror your best options are probably Medical Student, First Aid, and Inspiring Presence.

However, I don't think you will need all the ally-healing tech if you focus on Power Word. Cards that help you find Power Word might be more useful, such as Arcane Initiate.

I believe allied investigator cards and their assets in play, if they are at my location, count as cards at my location?

I also did... -2 First Watch +2 Scene of the Crime

That said, I too am feeling the lack of card draw. Just not sure how to fit it in...

Ancient Stone can heal Field Agent, you're right, @SoulGambit.

For card draw, a few ideas:

Ah, that one's on me. Ancient Stone is a great fit for the deck then!

On the Hunt has great synergy with Power Word because its "Power" depends highly on finding the strongest non-elite enemys in the encounter deck. I´d also recommend somebody in your team should put Kicking the Hornet's Nest in his/her deck for the same reason.

Another thought: Wouldn´t Scene of the Crime be great with Power Word bc you are bringing the enemy with you?

I agree! I actually updated the deck. I'm playing this one through Carcossa now and it's doing great.
