Wendy, Never been Cursed

Never been Kissed Cursed

I love the cursed cards. They have fun & powerful abilities. However, most characters can only take a few of them and if you play a lot of them you really mess up the chaos bag for all the other players.

This deck is my attempt to let me play all the cursed cards without having everyone at the table curse me.

• Overview

• Main Strategy

• My Choices

• Didn't Make the Cut

• Just a Little More Experience

• Priority Upgrades at Campaign Start

• Play your powerful cards that put curses in the bag.

• Use False Covenant to ignore one curse per turn.

• Use Flashlight and Old Keyring to reduce shroud levels to 0 so curses can't hurt you. (You only fail on the )

• Use Favor of the Moon to take the curses out of the bag and then drop those curses on the 0 difficulty investigates to get some free money.

• Primarily a clue collector so evade those enemies and let the fighter clean up

• TLDR: After putting curses in the bag, this deck gets them out without hosing you.

• Wendy's Red Tide Rising back: gives you access to all the cursed cards so that was an obvious choice.
• Wendy's original front: The redraw is good in more situations.
• All the fun curse adding cards: Deep Knowledge, Faustian Bargain, Stirring Up Trouble, & Promise of Power
• False Covenant & Favor of the Moon: Get those curses out of the bag.
• Flashlight and Old Keyring : to create 0 difficulty tests
  • Scavenging: possibly recover these items for more uses
  • Shed a Light: Get maximum benefit from reducing the shroud
• Peter Sylvestre & Moonstone for some additional encounter protection since you are adding curses.
• Armageddon: I like all of my characters to be able to contribute a little to Boss fights or other combat heavy scenarios.
• Lucky! & Resourceful: I find it hard to build survivors without these cards
• "Look what I found!": For when you can't reduce the shroud to 0

Note: I'm showing this deck at a mid campaign experience level. This could be played as a 19 experience deck in a single scenario with In the Thick of It.

These are the interesting cards I wanted to find a way to put in this deck but didn't make it.

• Eye of the Djinn: Getting free actions when you draw a curse via Favor of Moon sounds awesome. Unfortunately it takes up a hand slot that I really needed for Flashlight and Old Keyring. Could be very good in a similar deck but not what I was going for.
• Flute of the Outer Gods: This cards sounds fun and uses curses but in reality it is pretty bad and takes up a hand slot.
• Gaze of Ouraxsh: Generally this deck is removing the curses from the bag reasonably quickly so your odds of getting more than 2 damage out of this aren't great. Decent option but I didn't take it.
• Fey: Decent skill card but I was dealing with curses pretty well without it.

I would probably pick up these cards if I had enough experience

• The Skeleton Key: Very helpful on shroud 5+ locations

• Spirit of Humanity: You remove the curses well enough for this healing to be pretty cheap.

• Scavenging: Save an action on replaying Flashlight and Old Keyring

• Justify the Means: More curses for an automatic success

• Lucky!: Makes one of the best level 0 card even better

• Plucky and Grisly Totem could be fun additions as well. Season to taste

The highest priorities to upgrade are:

• Flashlight: you really need to be able to reduce shroud values
• False Covenant: you want to remove curses without too much pain.

The other upgrades can be gotten in whatever order feels best to you.

• If you feel there are too many curses in the bag, get Favor of the Moon to control when they come out.
• If you want to pick up clues faster, Stirring Up Trouble could help.
• If you can't find the cards you want to play, At a Crossroads may help you draw them faster.

Note: You can get a 0 experience version of this deck pretty easily by downgrading all the cards that have a 0 experience version and the adding in some skill cards like Guts and Perception to help the first couple of scenarios.

• Feedback is Welcome (please remember to be kind)
• Never feel like you have to play a deck as it is published. Make it your own to maximize your fun!
