Norman Before the Edge

Here is the deck I used to successfully complete The Circle Undone solo.

Norman did pretty well. He blasted through a lot of scenarios with his 5 . The most tension was in Union and Disillusion, where I needed only one 1 more action for successful resolution, but instead had to get 1 physical trauma. In the last scenario Norman had to search hard for the right locations and in act 3 found the Black Throne only from 3rd attempt. Still he managed to clear the throne before the Piper and Dancer came for him.

The MVPs of the run were Mists of R'lyeh, Occult Lexicon, Hawk-Eye Folding Camera, "I've got a plan!" and Penny White. Although Penny played only in the last scenario for me, she did some great job and got me 4 clues from passing treachery tests!

Of course Norman's deckbuilding is bit of a puzzle at the start and the lack of more level 0 cards from made me retrofit some of them later in the campaign for experience, so I spent 3xp for 2 Ward of Protection and 1 Arcane Initiate. Once also my weakness Vengeful Hound came round 1 from the top of the draw deck. Luckily, I had Wither in play. Despite these nuiscances, Norman is a very strong investigator.

Of course, when Edge of the Earth is released, Norman will change dramatically, but even with cards up to Circle Undone he is good.
