Mob Boss Charlie Kane

A thematic deck aimed at the concept of cigar-smoking Charlie Kane as a mafia boss. The deck is fairly self-explanatory and relatively straightforward.

Make extensive use of allies. Net resources using Gry/Wan/Investments/Cache/Grift all boosted by Stylish Coat. Use Well Connected/Money Talks to pass difficult tests. Use Thompson/Small Favor/Gang Up to nuke problematic enemies. Blackmail File provides an emergency escape button to bypass foes you either can't or don't want to fight.

There is quite a lot of room for expansion here with gained experience, specifically with an eye on Agency Backup (Charlie's crew) and The Star XVII.

You can also alternatively go with Underworld Support at deck creation, axing the necessary cards to fit within that parameter. This Highlander style run would provide the deck with a faster cycle speed without really impacting whats included very much, but the drawback would come down the road after you've got some EXP under your belt and you're blocked from grabbing multiple copies of certain upgraded cards.

Overall, while it might not rank up as a campaign-busting expert-mode deck, it is most certainly a fun and interesting interpretation of Charlie.
