Everybody loves Hank Samson

Hank Samson wasn't born with riches or endowed with great intelligence, but what he lacked in material wealth and scholarly prowess, he made up for with resourcefulness and a strong pair of hands. Despite the toils of farm life, Hank never hesitated to lend a hand to those in need. His selflessness became the cornerstone of his character, and his altruistic nature endeared him to everyone he met.

This deck is built around using the Assistant side of Hank's bonded investigator card, and fully embraces the assistant theme.

Setup

Once we swap our investigator card with its Resolute version, our base statline is 3/3/4/4.

With Granny Orne's static boost it becomes 4/4/4/4.

With Dark Horse it's 5/5/5/5.

With Pocket Multi Tool and Granny Orne abilities, it can virtually go up to 7/7/7/7.

Dark Horse is triggered by spending resources on Fire Axe or Dig Deep depending on if we are testing or /, adding yet another layer of stat boost.

12 skill cards and 10 events with 0-1 cost ensures we can always work with no resources. I specifically selected skill cards that immediately replace themselves with a card draw, to make up for the absence of tutoring cards.

Nightmare Bauble was a late include, but I thought it fitted with the "never fail a test" vibes in the deck.

Assisting others

We can tank damage/horror from others with our investigator ability.

Pocket Multi Tool , Granny Orne and Lucky!(3) can all be used on other investigators at our location to turn failed tests into successes.

"Let me handle this!" and Ward of Protection(2) protects them from encounter cards.

Stand Together gives them resources.

Finally, 12 skill cards is plenty enough to use a good amount of them on fellow investigators.
