Carson seeks to hand out actions.

I created this deck after looking to play a full support investigator and being inspired by the following deck by user DocBees. To me, the seeker package gave this concept a different spin thanks to Guidance• boosting the skill value for the additional gifted actions (in addition to the regular actions) and thus I tried my hand at working seeker cards in. However, this comes at the cost of not getting Police Badge into play as often.

Special thanks to user Valentin1331 for providing a very helpful thread on how to create a proper deck guide. In addition, I highly recommend checking out their published decks if you haven't done so already.

I played this deck on Hard difficulty in The Feast of Hemlock Vale together with Kōhaku Narukami and Winifred Habbamock and we were able to complete several scenarios with the best outcome possible. Both investigators were able to also generate additional actions by themselves, allowing them to further benefit from Guidance. All in all, it was a lot of fun for me to grant either investigator a massive turn and support them throughout it.

• Overview

• Main Strategy

• Other Cards

• 0 XP Deck and Upgrade Path

• During mulligan mainly look for Stand Together for early card draw and extra ressources as well as Safeguard, Safeguard••, and Girish Kadakia to get them out right away with Ever Vigilant.

• Give an investigator a big turns with extra actions from playing Guidance• during your turn and using Police Badge's ability such that they take at minimum 6 actions all at +1 to each of their stats.

• Further boost investigators' skill tests where necessary with Girish Kadakia as well as Practice Makes Perfect and all of your skill cards which all happen to be Practiced.

• Soak up damage with Obsidian Bracelet and Girish Kadakia. If someone still needs healing, you have Soothing Melody for that.

• Safeguard is used in case an investigator chooses to use Carson's ability to move or you target them with Shortcut while Safeguard•• is used to move together with investigators during their turn.

• Stick to the Plan, which holds Emergency Cache, Ever Vigilant, and Practice Makes Perfect allows for you and your allies to get set up on round one and more quickly start the action all thanks to beeing guaranteed to play Ever Vigilant. Similarly, Motivational Speech helps you or a fellow investigator to more cheaply get out an ally to get set up more quickly.

• Stand Together is here for further support and to finance your assets that you hadn't been able to get out with Ever Vigilant or to play your Police Badge again after bouncing it back.

• Attach Well-Maintained to your Police Badge to bounce it back to hand out some more bonus actions, as your skill-package and Girish Kadakia are there for them, even without Guidance.

The 0 XP deck is found here.

A recommended order of purchases/upgrades for the remaining cards is:

• Stick to the Plan with Emergency Cache, Practice Makes Perfect, and Shortcut

• Crack the Case → Ever Vigilant• → Ever Vigilant•••• (Attach Ever Vigilant•/Ever Vigilant•••• to Stick to the Plan instead of Shortcut)

• In whichever order the XP allows:

  • 2x Stand Together → 2x Stand Together•••

  • 2x Leadership → 2x Leadership••

• Now that Leadership and Stand Together cover card draw and ressource generation:
