Talent Always Wins

Jenny Barnes packed her pistols into their case. "It's about time someone recognized my talents. I have the Endurance to take on fights, the Sharp Rhetoric to investigate, a Silver Tongue to charm people, and I'm Levelheaded enough to deal with the worst problems. I'm more than just a pair of pretty guns, but I have them if I need them."

This deck has some of the usual rogue features: Pickpocketing, Lone Wolf, and Disguise can be played fast and cheap with Alt Jenny's trait. The new L0 talents that give a 2:1 payout are especially strong. Hunter's Instinct, Something Worth Fighting For, True Grit, and Resilience are all good talents to cash in when at their limit.

Hunter's Instinct is something I have wanted to play with in nearly every new deck that can do it. With an baseline Friends in Low Places, you can cycle your deck looking for the talents you want quickly, and a reliable Pilfer is expensive but recurring it can have you sweeping up clues in a single action, saving you multiple expenditures to raise your skill level.

Your weakness is a problem in a slim deck if your talents are all out. Leaving Searching for Izzie attached to the location until it's about time to wrap up is probably the best call, and you should have enough resources and ability to boost investigate by that time to do it reliably. The mental damage can be soaked up by alternating Resilience and Something Worth Fighting For.

I'm still new to making decks so if you have any improvements to offer on this, I'd love to see it.
