I really like this type of card design, a build-around that creates a new deck archetype. Other cards like that which comes into mind are Stick to the Plan, Crystallizer of Dreams and Well Prepared. I would like to see a Well Prepared/Asset heavy Guardian archetype guide.
Rita Horse. Dark Young. The thing about Scrapper et al (but especially Scrapper because it's permanent) is that you can pour resources into them regardless of whether that skill is being tested or not, so you can instantly go from rolling-in-money to Dark-Horse-is-online in a pinch. So playing resource-gaining cards (Emergency Cache, Lone Wolf, etc) is perfectly fine as well. (Technically you can only do this during a skill test, but it's extremely rare for skills to matter outside of skill tests. (I would say that Prey is an example of an exception, but firstly it's extremely rare that Prey matters, and secondly in the situations where it does matter, being able to manipulate Prey by controlling whether Dark Horse is on or not is an advantage.))
I just got Innsmouth and made a deck for Silas based on Darkhorse. This video has given me new ideas to add some cards. As always you guys deliver. Thank you very much ☺️
They already did one titled as Sealing Archetype, if that's what you meant. I guess that counts as chaos bag manipulation: th-cam.com/video/0ESun1_YlB4/w-d-xo.html
Would love to see a Roland Agency Archetype where he makes use of the other detective/fed/police cards for good fighter/clue gather. Don't know if this is a know archetype bit flavor vice it would be great! Maybe more suitable for a live deck build kinda idea now that I think about it 😅
For adding practicality to the flavor, Tommy Muldoon would be a better choice, since he's got the resource generation to fund all the police/agency folks, synergizes well with Charisma/allies in general, and also synergizes well with the damage-to-self aspects of Agency Backup, Beat Cop, and Tetsuo.
@@anaphysik I know but that felt to obvious and wouldn't be surprised if that was already in the works. And also I am really interested in getting Roland to work since he is a bit more tricky in comparison to Tommy, just a personal opinion though :)
@@anaphysik We don't really go for practicality in our live deckbuilding series for the flavour focused ones. Like with our horribly cursed Christmas Carol Preston deck build.
Hey guys, I'm trying to make a Dark Horse Jenny work. I want her to be more clue + evade oriented, to pair with a Mark Harrigan for Carcosa. What would you recommend? I was thinking 2xMadame Labranche 2xDark Horse 2xLone Wolf 2xHard Knocks 1xArcane Studies (at first, later to be replaced by magnifying glass or quantum flux or something else) Then the idea would be to get High Roller, Streetwise and Adaptable in quickly, maybe Lockpicks. But I'm not sure what to fill the rest with. Could it work with something along the lines of succeed by X? Improved pickpocketing, maybe lucky cigarette case, daring manouver, slip away. I'm having some trouble filling up the rest.
I wish you posted a less expensive deck when you do these videos. It would be much more interesting at least for me. Even at the end of a campaign isn't it hard to reach this deck?
This deck costs 27 experience, which is very achievable in most campaigns. In addition, many of the upgrades aren't core to the deck and it would function fine without them, for example using level 0 versions of Lucky! And Unexpected Courage.
I'm loving this archetype series, they serve as awesome building blocks for understanding deckbuilding better!
First true archetype I ever played. With my boy Yorick

Déjà Vu also has the potential to become that kind of card

Enjoyed the video! Looking forward to Mystic: Chaos Bag Manipulation.

@@kuzgunsovalyesi Check out Mystics: Tokens Matter in the same video.
Ok, I guess I missed that part. I'm just waiting for the Doom Mystic archetype next.

We have that on our list for Live Deckbuilding when we return to that series. We'll get that as a video for sure!

You should do a video on how to choose investigators :)

Madam and/or yaotl is my favourite drak horse allies by far.
Dark Horse: The comic archetype
Well, I'm interested in some testless architypes. I guess we are talking about Rogues here mostly

I agree, but there are level 0 versions available for most of the upgraded cards in this deck anyways.
This is a level 0 Dark Horse Pete deck. arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/9037/ashcan-pete-4p-return-to-dunwich-dark-horse-1.0 It also includes upgrades.
This deck costs 27 experience, which is very achievable in most campaigns. In addition, many of the upgrades aren't core to the deck and it would function fine without them, for example using level 0 versions of Lucky! And Unexpected Courage.
@@davidko9289 Thanks. Really cool.
