Hello! Looks like a fun deck, though I have a few comments here and there if you don't mind?

Your Asset/Event/Skill split looks great. The cost curve is also nice.

Specifically talking about the Assets you chose:

  • I would maybe swap the Survival Knife for a firearm, like the .45 Automatic or .32 Colt. I don't know what campaign you are going to be playing, but I recently ran into a problem where only having melee weapons meant I couldn't deal with a certain enemy. I also don't think the Survival Knife is incredible if you already have Machete and are playing solo, because hopefully you aren't being attacked that often.

  • Where is Dr. Milan Christopher? I don't think you should have more than 4 allies without Charisma, but I wonder if Laboratory Assistant is worth it over Dr. Milan Christopher? Now, Beat Cop is a good card that also costs 4 resources, so maybe that would require some tweaking? On the other hand, Dr. Milan Christopher grants a lot of resources too.

  • Was the lack of Physical Training intentional? You have no way to increase your stats without committing cards. If you encounter an enemy with 5 or higher, I think you are going to be in trouble, especially if it has more than 2 health.

  • I'm not sure First Aid pulls its weight in solo? You just don't have the actions to heal up if you want to beat the agenda deck.

About the Events you chose:

About your Skills:

In conclusion, your deck seems fun and reasonably decent, but not tuned to a razor edge, so if you want to try solo I'd try to optimize a little?

Then again, I'm not an experienced Solo player, so most of this is based on what I've heard other people say.

Hope you'll have fun with this deck!

Thank you for your answers.

For context, I'm a LoR lcg player and I only played AH with Jenny. In AH lcg, I think I do not play a lot of cards in the end, and I have little draw. I find that the game has too much random.

I play for a long time to set the stage so that in two rounds, by drawing two fail’s tokens away (or draw two weaknesses) you lose all the benefit of your preparation. Also I play only in easy mode. That respects more my idea of ​​the game.

Jenny uses a lot of resources. I do not know Roland except in the initiation scenario.

So,

About Professor Millan, it was my first choice, but I think playing the cop and the Prof is too much of resources. If I have both in my hand, I always play the wrong card. And after it’s more expensive to change. I think ! I prefer a card "to combine" my cards, and to have a second ally like that a toolbox, so maybe one Laboratory Assistant and one Art Student.

About the survival knife, I did not know there could be enemies that you could not kill with melee weapons. This can actually change the spirit of the deck.

About « Physical training » I play a lot with the same others cards with Jenny, and I don’t know if I can play it with resource’s Roland. Enough resources ? I will try without and add it if I see that it penalizes me too much.

About Logical Reasoning and  "If it bleeds… », I play it only because I play survival knife.
