Big Money, Small Shroud

This is a focused combo deck that's trying to get 12+ clues/round testless while insulating from the mythos phase with endless soak and high test values.

What we're ultimately trying to do is place all the assets we can onto the board and ending with only 14 possible cards in our deck.

2 weaknesses, and our 12 events.

Friends in low places can actionless search and draw up to 10 of those cards.

Step 1: So how do we find clues? Test at 0

How are we supposed to test at 0?

Matchbox X1 takes care of shroud 1

Matchbox X2 takes care of shroud 2

Matchbox X1 + Flashlight(3)X1 takes care of shroud 3

Matchbox x2 + Flashlight(3)X1 takes care of shroud 4

for shroud >5, The Skeleton Key and Flashlight(3) will combo to turn any test to 0, regardless of any other shroud modifying effects.

Once we initiate a test at 0, we use 2 shed a lights on that test, discovering 3 clues at our location and 2 clues at any other location.

Step 2 Recycling your Light

Use your Double Double to use Scrounge for Supplies twice to grab the two Shed a Lights now in your discard.

Step 3 Refer to Step 1.

Step 4 Use Hot streak to gain 7 net resources.

Step 5 Use Friends in low places to search up Ace in the hole, black markets, Friends in low places, and Easy marks.

Step 6 Use the action free play to play your 3 easy marks, drawing 3 cards, gaining 6 resources and reshuffling your deck which should consist of 2 shed a lights, 1 scrounge for supplies and 1 hot streak.

Step 7 Draw 1 card, your deck should be empty (Unless you're good with your hand in which case you leave it there and draw it in upkeep to strand your weaknesses with black market)

Step 8 Use Ace in the hole to gain 3 actions

Step 9 Refer to step 1

There are some other things in here such as recycling your bandages, matchboxes, and flashlights with scavenging and Joey, but the core strategy is the same,4x-6x shed a lights/turn with the economy to reliably do that turn after turn.

Black markets should be used to strand your weaknesses
