The idea of the deck

Olive Mcbride, i choose you! I am racking my brain trying to use some cards that are clearly suboptimal (ritual candles, song of the dead, dark prophecy...) with father mateo, so lets see the cards

the cards:

the cards i want to include

2x Olive McBride

2x Hypnotic Gaze

2x Ritual Candles

the thing i need for ritual candles, hypnotic gaze to work

2x Dark Prophecy

2x Premonition (great for defiance, you can try to fish for the bad tokens here)

2x Defiance

killing things

2x Shrivelling

1x Song of the Dead ••

getting clues

2x Arcane Studies

2x Enraptured (to feed shrivellings, song of the dead or Forbidden knowledge)

economy

1x Jewel of Aureolus •••

1x Forbidden Knowledge (it can be discarded to search clues, feed arcane studies)

2x Uncage the Soul (only 3 good targets, in the deck, but it can be discarded for 2 wills)

trying to solve the problems i myself created

2x Fearless to regain sanity (olive has some sanity too)

mystic general utility

2x Ward of Protection

1x Astral Travel

2x Delve Too Deep
