Air Agnes

This is a deck in a new series I'm publishing: the "Air" series.

The theme of this series is to play extremely lightweight builds (relatively few assets) that focus on action efficiency and consistency---avoiding reliance on combinations. They are intended to be playable on the Hard level of difficulty.

Warning: these decks will require some degree of hand management. With few assets boosting your skills, you will need to think about the relative importance of each pip. The goal is to see as few treacheries as possible rather than get strong enough to crush whatever is sent your way. With this in mind, they should thrive in shorter scenarios but find longer scenarios challenging.

This deck would do okay as Solo, but would do better in multi-player given that all the clue-finding occurs in sets of 2s. This particular version was made to be 60/40 in terms of attack versus clue-finding. You could move it more to 50/50 by putting in another "Look what I found!". If you want to push it more to clue finding, or if you were playing solo, you could put some flashlights in.

Forbidden Knowledge and Painkillers would normally be poor choices for an "Air" deck, but here I believe they are warranted---especially Painkillers---given their synergy with Agnes Baker's special ability.

Note that Spectral Razor and (a fortiori) Storm of Spirits are really good against swarming enemies.

If you are playing on Expert level, then you will want to put in a second Lucky!. On Hard Lucky! is not quite as good for Agnes because so frequently you are in a situation where you lost because of an and Live and Learn would be a better choice. Sure, Live and Learn won't work against Treacheries very well, but if Agnes has to do a non- treachery test, she'd prefer to just block it with Ward of Protection. Live and Learn is much better for consistency because it will let you retry your Spectral Razor when you draw an .

The main question is how you distribute cards among Lucky!, Deny Existence, and "Look what I found!". I choose one for each for this deck.
