Daisy is done with being tested!

Introduction:

Daisy Walker is pretty known to be a powerhouse, but one with the ability to take otherwise very niche cards and make them godlike. This deck tries exactly this. The idea was pretty simple: make Forbidden Tome finally work in a decent deck! To to this, we combine the power of (almost) infinite big hands with some cool myriad cards.

Let's go!

Overview:

Main Strategy (How to sleepwalk 101):

• Get your good-night literatur into play by buying it with a discount from a catalogue or just let grandpa run some errands for you.

• Find your favorite juice so it can grow you some extra hands or fingers, or however the hell it works.

• Find your nanny to hold your books for you while you write your diary for today.

• Hold half of your deck in hand but act like you still only have four cards in hand (like the spoiled brat you are).

Once you finished your evening routine, it's time to go to bed. Because you have had enough of failing frustratingly () or failing extra frustratingly(). No no, you are just done with being tested, and the rest of the game will be like a sleepwalk!

• By holding 12 (or more) cards, activating Forbidden Tome only costs , which is your free book-. So you move and/or discover a testless clue.

• After that, exhaust Abigail to do it again, for up to two free movements and/or clues for one action.

• Then, you can ready Abigail (with Interwoven Ink), use her to attach her to the other Forbidden Tome and do it again. Twice. For one action.

• You can also actually play and not just hold Segment of Onyx for even more free stuff.

Congratulations, you just got 4 testless clues and up to four move actions for two actions. Still have two more? How about ... I don't know? Help your team for once? Investigate normally? Or just take a nap.

Setup (Getting ready for bed):

• Hard mulligan for Old Book of Lore or Research Librarian and Dream-Enhancing Serum. The rest will come sooner or later.

• Try to play as much assets as possible with Old Book of Lore. Balance your resources and secrets with Astounding Revelation (and Enraptured until you cut it).

• Don't worry too much about handslots. Yes, your weakness can be annyoing and discard something if you draw if early, but generally The Raven Quill makes your stuff slotless, as does Abigail Foreman. Just remember, that you need one for the second Forbidden Tome if Abigail and your Quill are on the same copy.

• You cycle through your deck fairly quickly, so don't be afraid to use your myriad cards until you are setup. Try to be done with Setup ASAP. Once you are, you will catch up for sure.

General hints (Preparing for nightmares):

• Deny Existence,Ward of Protection and Promise of Power will keep you save. Don't be afraid to use them, you will draw them back soon.

• Blood-Rite and Promise of Power can also handle some enemies.

• Don't play Abigail Foreman unless you have Old Book of Lore in play, otherwise drawing Research Librarian will make you a sad lady.

• I will say it again: Take your time to get setup early. You will catch up, unless you are on a tight schedule with the mythos.

Other Cards/Upgrades (More fancy book-club kid stuff!):

• You could play one or two copies of The Raven Quill with Supernatural Record and drop Research Librarian later on. I generally still value him for Old Book of Lore.

• This is one of the rare cases where I think Charisma is better than Miskatonic Archaeology Funding. First, you don't have deckslots for extra allies. Second, Research Librarian can soak a 1 Damage and 1 Horror attack or treachery if you don't have it.

• I don't advise it, but you could always gamble with Shrewd Analysis.

Upgrade Path (From Zero to sleewalking zombie-cluever):

This is the deck I would start with. You could opt not to take In the Thick of It and play a Magnifying Glass or a second Dr. Milan Christopher, but I think Old Book of Lore is just too good not to to take.

I hope you all have as much fun with the deck as I did. Any feed back and/or criticism is welcome. Have a great day!

PS: As per usual, huge thank you to Valentin1331 for the template and 5argon for the upgrade tool. You guys are awesome!
