(Spoiler Warning)

Return to the Night of the Zealot solo run:

Disclaimer: non-blind run - several decisions within the game as well as in deck-building is done with prior knowledge of the Campaign in mind.

Summary:

Off to a good start with a flexible hand, though missing Emergency Cache. Probably should have added a 2nd copy of Storm of Spirits and even possibly Wither. Dario El-Amin was actually more useful than expected. Took a lot of punishment - close to discarding St. Hubert's Key. Misread the agenda 3 to move the ghouls at the end of the Mythos phase instead of Enemy phase - should not have affected the result too much. Sefina can't maximize Lita Chantler so I decided to keep the house (hope I don't regret that!)
