Oops! All Dogs!

With the addition of Core (2026), we now have 4 more dogs, allowing us to make a deck that is approximately 30% dog. Wolf Mask turns Tommy into an honorary dog, bandages heals your guard dog (preventing Rookie Mistake from eliminating it for a while), and Hunter's Instinct allows you to introduce more dogs every time you engage with your ally events. Oops! is only there because this deck is called "Oops! All Dogs!"

In addition, this deck can find things by accident with "Look what I found!", which is almost like "Oops! but for clues". Recurring this with Hunter's Instinct is probably your main source of clues, and you can afford this only when the villains kill your dogs and fill you with fury, because all dogs are good dogs that should be loved. But if you do get 4 resources out of a sled dog or guard dog, it's not the end of the world; it'll be back, because these dogs don't go to heaven, they just come back with a vengeance in Tommy Muldoon's world.

In the event that the encounter deck does not kill your dogs, police dogs will be able to help you do some investigating at up to 7 skill for one investigate a round when they're upgraded. Hunting dogs will allow you to immediately engage any enemies that show up on most maps. Maybe you want to pretend this is a serious deck, and you can Breach the Door instead of Oops!? I'm not your boss, do what you want. Becky's also here so if your sled dogs don't kill them, you can shoot whatever thing survived that by bracing Becky on your police dogs to line up the shot.

If you are more interested in having dogs out rather than cycling dogs, consider running this same deck with a Guardian/Survivor Charlie Kane, who can actually get all 10 dogs on the field at the same time (math at end). Charlie's stats are dog poop, and his resource generation too, but with his trait there's enough dogs to make that poop into a pile of manure.

I probably should have put two rods of animalism in so it's more likely to come up but I'm already writing this published deck review. Take out a bandages, I guess? And if you do try this deck, let me know how it goes.

Charlie's Dog Math: (4 base slots + 2 charisma slots + 2 from a single rod of animalism = 8 slots available, and 2 Guard Dogs slots + 2 Hunting Dog slots + 2 Police Dog slots + 2 Sled Dog slots for all sled dogs = 8 slots required)
