Jacqueline Fine: Arkham's Eepiest Investigator

For Joe. If you're not Joe, get outta here!

The sun's getting real low for one Jacqueline Fine, who has an important decision to make; stop the evils that are bearing down on Arkham, or getting a solid 8 hours of rest? Thanks to this deck, dear Jacqueline can do both! Armed with the powers of both Honk-Shoo (Fighting) and Mimimi (Investigating), let's put on our oversized nightgowns and tuck in.

This deck centers around Breath of the Sleeper and Eyes of the Dreamer as your two main spells; both have the chance of getting better results the more tokens you draw, which is Jacqueline's speciality. But those 9 charges on each can be used for so much more. Spectral Shield blocks one instance of incoming damage/horror to Jacqueline, at the cost of a single charge on an asset you control, while Torrent of Power can be committed for up to 3-Head + 4-Wild if you spent 3 charges from your assets. Azure Flame and Clairvoyance are your backup spells which also have charges, but don't be precious about saving any spells. This deck is designed to burn through spells and charges at a rapid rate, getting them out cheaply with Uncage the Soul and recurring them with Prescient. Other notable cards include:

• Ritual Candles, to help mitigate any symbols you draw
• Crystal Pendulum, to buff your most important stat and for card draw
• Arcane Initiate, for finding your most important spells (and for meat-shielding, judiciously)
• Read the Signs, an almost guaranteed two clues for one action

Now a note; this deck doesn't have defenses in the traditional sense. There are no Wards of Protection or Deny Existence here. Because when it comes to sleep, we're not playing to not lose, we're playing to win! So mythos/damage mitigation and non-Head test passing will come down to a few things; using Arcane Initiate as a sacrifice once she's got you the spells you need (the bed isn't big enough for two, sorry girlie), Ritual Candles, the Spectral Shield, Dark Prophecy to pick your poison, Jacqueline's own ability, and skills like Torrent of Power and Confidence for those errant non-enemy fist and foot tests. No melatonin gummy needed. Good luck!
