Channelling her inner Buffy, Diana Stanley is Well Prepared for the horrors she has to face, and imbued with an empowering magic that makes her inhumanly powerful. Giles - I mean, David - will guide you through your trials.
Key points of play:
-
Opening hand: to be able to take care of yourself from the off, mulligan for a weapon, Ever Vigilant and a copy of Empower Self.
-
Rushing through your deck is necessary to find your key asset suite (if your opening hand has failed you). Hunt down both copies of Empower Self and Well Prepared, along with a weapon. Don't be picky about choosing treacheries to cancel - draw those cards and resources by cancelling right out of the gate. When Twilight Blade is in hand, you get to use those cancels again with impunity. Prepared for the Worst, Scroll of Secrets and card draw skill cards help you to speed through.
-
David Renfield should be used to help build resources and guide you through early willpower checks, if you find yourself fresh out of cancels. Like a classic Giles, he's helpful, but things sure get spookier and doomier when he's around. Theme win!
-
Overall, the deck assets aim to turn your base combat and evasion to at least 5 whenever tested, but to crank this much higher when used in combination. Galvanize gets you two bites at a Well Prepared when things get really feisty. Feel free to show-off how unexpectedly good you are with a .32 Colt!

Apr 01, 2021This set up is for a multiplayer game and I wanted to focus the deck. I often make flex decks, but this isn’t one. In some ways I feel that taking all 3 Empower Self cards seems a bit of a trap - do you really want them all? As the deck relies on the listed two ES cards, it may be nice to include all 3 and throw in Lucid Dreaming - to increase the odds of seeing one early and tutoring the cards you need. But deck space is a bit tight (if you ignore the showboat-ready .32 Colt)! |
Apr 01, 2021I did exactly that here: arkhamdb.com All in all, it worked pretty well. The biggest roadblock was getting assets out and managing resources (Ever Vigilant never showed up at the right moment. I triggered 2 of the three ES each turn, so they were all useful. |
Having just finished a campaign with a Diana built around the Empowered Self suite and Well Prepared, why did you leave out Empower Self? I found it pretty useful for clue-getting and the odd test....
