Patrice plays for the End Times

A heavily clue-focused test by zero Patrice for Drowned City four man

I didn't really know what to expect going in with this deck, but it ended up being one of the most fun decks I've played in a while. Once Patrice gets going, she can easily hoover up to 5 clues per action.

Especially at the start this deck isn't purely test by zero, but relies also on commit cards to push through. I suspected this could be a weakness, but it actually gives more room to manoeuvre. Note that Nautical Charts is mostly meant to be played from your hand, not as a asset. As such it works great and the high cost doesn't matter.

Speaking of weaknesses, I didn't really pay that much attention to Patrice's personal nemesis or enemies in general when building the deck. If a monsters reared it's ugly head our violinist would just shierk as loud as she could and her buddies would pummel the thing back to another dimension.

Below is the order which I purchaced my upgrades. Later on the line there's completely unnecessary Miss Doyle which did absolutely nothing for this deck, so I wouldn't do that again. Cornered also isn't really needed in this deck, I just took it really late in the campaign with exp to kill.

However, I would propably recommend bying On Your Own earlier than I did. It's really good and opens up so many more possibilities for better plays. Sure, it's exceptional, but it's very much worth the investment.
