I was determined to make a deck with Henry Wan that does something and... well, this deck does something.

This deck creates an infinite loop of actions, card draw, and resource generation. If that isn't your cup of tea, you've been warned. Probably, this deck would not actually be fun to play at a table with friends but you do you.

Basic goal of the deck: Activate Henry Wan and draw 10 , 10 , and the ~10 other non-symbol tokens in the bag infinite times in a turn.

Bear in mind, this is a first draft, so things can probably be optimized.

The loop depends on the order in which you draw cards, but the basic idea is that you draw enough cards and get enough resources to play both copies of Swift Reflexes, do so, cycle those into your deck with something like Tempt Fate so that you can play them _AGAIN _before recycling your deck a second (etc) time. In other words, between each activation of Henry Wan, we will ideally play Swift Reflexes three or more times.

The reason it's important we play Swift Reflexes three or more times is that it will almost always cost us two actions to play and then activate Henry Wan. The only way of cheating this cost I'm aware of is using Dexter's once per round ability to play Henry without an action.

"But Henry Wan is unique! You can't just play another copy of him to ready his ability!"

Is what you would say, but I'm going to point out that our friend has two sanity and we're trying to cycle our deck twice between each activation of his ability!

Besides that, we'll see so many of our cards and have so much control over our discard pile that it isn't difficult to either re-draw a dead Henry with Protecting the Anirniq or even just pick him up with Calling in Favors.

This is my first prototype of the deck, it can surely be optimized. I want to experiment with Versatile and Inspiring Presence as a way to ready Henry without needing to kill him, saving an action on re-playing him. As we trim down the deck, it'll start to make sense what proactive things can be done. Probably, the best-case scenario is looping cards like Spectral Razor and Intel Report.

Would it be useful to run Favor of the Moon here?

After you play Tempt Fate it could be played to sequester the tokens. Later when you activate Henry it guarantees a triple streak...
