Replace Pete and signature cards with Calvin Wright.

After testing him out I feel like this might be the most optimal way to run him.

Some thoughts:

Dark Horse - Originally the build was based somewhat around Dark Horse, but I found in actually playing Calvin that Dark Horse seemed too excessive and most of the time I just didn't use it. Calvin can quickly get to 4-5 in his stats, and that's more than enough the majority of the time.

"Spirit" cards - To be honest, the only two worth upgrading into is Ward of Protection Level 2 and Stand Together, however I'm finding it hard to fit in the later somewhere in such a tight build like this. Wither that being said both Ward of Protection and "Let me handle this!" are must-haves if you're playing a multiplayer game. "Let me handle this!" can really help accelerate Calvin's damage/horror build-up and on top of that can help your opponent in a bind if they're having a hard time with the encounter deck. Both of them are fantastic utility cards.

Cherished Keepsake - You could also alternatively play this instead of Rabbit's Foot, but I feel like there's enough damage soaking in here already and Rabbit's Foot allows you to accelerate your deck a bit. Either way, you're likely going to upgrade into Key of Ys to replace either way which helps out Calvin a lot, even more-so than Dark Horse.

First upgrades - It really depends on the scenario I'm entering but I'm usually going to start out getting Lucky! Level 2 or Peter Sylvestre Level 2. Getting two copies of Key of Ys early is also not a bad deal as well if you have the XP. Also if the next scenario is clue-heavy ala The Midnight Masks I also try to prioritize Newspaper Level 2 as well.

Tell me thoughts and suggestions below.

Thanks. I'm about to try my first Calvin build, and I was wondering about Dark Horse until now. Like you, I also don't see "spirit" as especially useful, though I do plan to go multiplayer, so these are helpful suggestions.
