This is a Jim deck I've scrounged up for a three player Carcosa campaign with Zoey and Minh in standard. The Carcosa chaos bag carries an extra skull, which suits Jim just fine.
The idea is to be supportive and "fill" whatever role needs the most help. I tested a 9 exp version of this deck with some of my planned upgrades in a standalone with Zoey and Minh in the Midnight Masks scenario and it performed well (we took down all but two cultists as well as the Ghoul Priest). In the standalone test run I mostly helped with combat, so the investigation side was neglected. I'll report back after the first scenario in Carcosa.
The design goals of this deck are to be equally good at combat and investigation in order to pick up any slack, using Grotesque Statues to enhance Jim's natural good odds. Scavenging allows the statues to be recurred, with some investigation synergy by tossing Flashlights, which become de facto copies of Perception when Minh is in the room. Scavenging will also allow me to throw Jim's Trumpet at key Will tests for three icons (four if Minh is in the room) and get it back later. Since the purpose of this deck is to support my Guardian and Seeker buddies, Emergency Aid has been added so that Jim can heal damage as well as horror with his Trumpet. No Stone Unturned rounds out his splash cards, allowing him to find a Statue, his Trumpet, Scavenging to recur them, or even just help Zoey find her Lightning Gun.
My planned upgrades for this deck include upgraded Shrivelling spells, Songs of the Dead to replace the Knives, and Jewel of Aureolus to replace Holy Rosary when Shriveling is upgraded. Of course, I will also be running Grotesque Statues, which I will likely replace my Delves with.

Dec 27, 2017I used to run into resource troubles, so I see what you mean. I originally had two copies of Emergency cache but eventually traded them for Uncage the Soul since they could be used for will icons and my most expensive cards are spells. Since then I haven't had too much trouble with econ, but I might swap Alchemical Transmutation in to get rid of Blinding Light. My original plan was to replace it with Manual Dexterity but I'm not sure how much utility there is in that. The idea is that the Jewel of Aureolus will help with resources, but it's true that I might need something in the meantime. I appreciate the comment. :) |
You might find a way to stick in a single Alchemical Transmutation just to help a little with econ as you don't really have much other than Uncage the Soul to help with that. Perhaps run only 1 Hypnotic Gaze but that is just a thought.
