SUMMARY

Toolbox Assets

Yorick gets a series of assets he keeps returning from the graveyard for their utility.

• The Red-Gloved Man: Provides soak for enemy & mythos phase. As well as double boosts stats. I often use him to boost to find clues after defeating a foe.
• Police Badge: Reduced to a cost of 1 with Rite of Sanctification! Two extra turn each time you defeat a monster is a lot of extra action economy, which is even better with The Red-Gloved Man!
• Relentless the extra damage from chainsaw come back as free resources. Helps full in the gaps for an offline Rite of Sanctification or sink for Plucky.
• Plucky: recurring sanity soak. Helps pay for an investigation check now & then.
• Rite of Sanctification; If the bag has even 1 or 2 [blessed] tokens, this is worth pulling back out of the discard pile.
• Backpack: Cheap item/supply tutors.

Party Support

This Yorick offers a lot help to the players.

• Bury Them Deep: Gives the team extra xp!
• Stand Together: Resources!
• [Blessed] Tokens: Everyone likes pulling a blessed token! Keep Faith (w/ Resourceful), Book of Psalms, and Tempt Fate all stock the chaos bag with [blessed] tokens.
• Rite of Sanctification: The purpose of running [blessed] tokens is to run this card. It reduces the cost of Police Badge, The Red-Gloved Man, & Chainsaw. It can also help your allies pay for things.
• Book of Psalms: Offers team horror healing.
• Safeguard: Easily nets 1-2 actions a turn with a coordinated team. Less time moving means more time engaging and attacking enemies.

Chainsaw

This deck focuses around Chainsaw as the primary damage dealer. You keep adding supplies on it with Emergency Cache. When you run out of supplies, Act of Desperation (w/ Resourceful) can keep bringing it back. Brute Force, (Vicious Blow, & One-Two Punch) are to help kill a big monsters when you're chainsaw-less or when it's ready to be pulled out of your discard pile. Relentless nets you some resources when you have to use chainsaw on a 1 or 2hp enemy.
