Miskatonic AF Harvey

Context

Three players headed into The Dream-Eaters and (fan made) Return to The Innsmouth Conspiracy campaigns blind. Harvey is accompanied by "Chaos Wrangler" Akachi and "Shotgun Sniper" Mark.

Investigating Arkham's horrors presents two core problems; clues and enemies. Armed with eldritch tomes and archaic spells, Harvey, himself an expert in the occult, is taking the Miskatonic faculty into the field. No mystery shall remain unsolved under the learned gaze of Arkham's academic elite.

Miskatonic A(rchaeology) F(unding)

Finding and fielding hand-slot and ally cards, rapidly, is the aim of this deck. Charisma, Mistatonic AF, Arcane Enlightenment, and Abigail Foreman expand the necessary slots. Calling in Favors, Research Librarian and Harvey's own prodigious drawing ability help find the respective assets quickly.

[Dr. Milan Christopher](/card/01033) +1 and pays for himself.
[Jeremiah Kirby](/card/08032)              +1 and draws cards.
[Whitton Greene](/card/60223)            +1 +1 and digs for tomes and relics.
[Abigail Foreman](/card/06324)           Holds a [tome](/card/09044) and doubles it's effect.
[Research Librarian](/card/01032)       Fetches any tome of choice.
[Library Docent](/card/60220)              Returns a tome, allowing for secrets reset.

The Librarian and the Docent can be usefully returned to hand with Calling in Favors to be played for their effects again.

[Celaeno Fragments](/card/60206)     Tome +1, occasionally +1
[Dream Diary](/card/06238)                 Tome Provides a +2/+4 [skill](/card/06113) every round.
[Grim Memoir](/card/09044)                Tome Action compression. ([Resettable](/card/60220))
[The Necronomicon](/card/60233)      Tome lunacy. ([Resettable](/card/60220))
[Ancient Stone](/card/04230)               Relic Turns draw into damage.

Empirical Hypothesis builds into an action-less draw and cost reduction engine.
     Field Research • (Criteria: Enter location with 3+ shroud)
     Research Grant •• (Spend 2 evidence: Reduce cost of next card by 3)
     Irrefutable Proof ••• (Spend 3 evidence: Discover 1 clue)
     Alternative Hypothesis •••• (Resolve both criteria each turn)

With free moves from Pathfinder and all the +, Harvey should be able to grow the Hypothesis by 1-2 evidence per turn.

Harvey will have two ways of discovering multiple clues per action:
           (1) Abigail and Grim Memoir
           (2) Archaic Glyphs

And two ways of discovering clues action- and test-lessly:
           (1) Empirical Hypothesis Irrefutable Proof
           (2) The Necronomicon

Dealing with enemies is not Harvey's strong suit. Eventually though, he will be able to melt enemies by drawing cards.
