What if Jenny Barnes broke the game by drawing 5+ cards every turn, played Cheat the System, Vamp, or Call for Backup three times a turn with Double, Double, and reduced the Mythos Deck to a joke with Counterespionage and Money Talks? Other Rogues might have better deckbuilding, but no one can beat Jenny Barnes as the ultimate Double, Double Big Money support with 20 - 30 bonus XP from Green Man Medallion.

I made this deck as a joke to celebrate the release of Parallel Jenny Barnes, but it turned out to be so degenerate that my table group made me sign a blood oath to never touch it again unless we play on Expert. Similar to Red Glove Amanda, this is probably the strongest and entertaining version of Jenny Barnes (albeit with her normal back to retain access to Safeguard and Double, Double), but it definitely warps the game balance by abusing Synergy cards like Cheat the System and Call for Backup in ways that were probably never intended or balanced for. I'll be sad to bid farewell to God Queen Jenny Barnes, but I welcome you all to try it if you ever want to achieve apotheosis and break Arkham LCG's difficulty curve over your knee.

Note: Turns out that if you can consistently draw 10+ cards with Thorough Inquiry + Double, Double every turn for only three actions, it's surprisingly easy t permanently remove Sacrificial Beast and your Random Basic Weakness(es) from your deck with Black Market. Who needs weapons when you can just exile all of your weaknesses to the Black Market dimension?
