Omnscient - knowing everything. You pilot your deck until you build it knowing exactly what you will draw.

This was an awesome deck taking arkham to new heights. It's so chaotic. Basically you're playing around what's in your deck and what's not. You need to mulligan to hold onto Scavenging: to draw out Ice Picks or the Wendy's Amulet out from discard. Being very aware of when Abandoned and Alone will hit, setting up the scene for whatever remains in the deck. This is actually best experienced with excessive book keeping, because once you play events (funded by Prophetic) they go to the bottom of the deck, you can record exactly the order and actually anticipate the exact moment it loops around. Chuck in Black Market for an amazing performance.

Actual in-game dialogue performance

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's magic trick features the amazing revelation from black market! I predict we will have 1. Lucky, 2. Keep faith, 3. Look what I found, 4. Watchful Peace, and finally 5. Breaking and Entering.

Drum roll please...

Number 1. Look! It is indeed Lucky!

2nd It is indeed keep faith!

3rd is ... Well, Look what I found! It's Look what I found!

4th is predicted to be Watchful Peace! And we got a Watchful Peace! And finally, to finish it all, 5 for 5, predicted to be Breaking and Entering... would you look at that! Breaking and Entering! Thank you folks, thank you. You've been a magnificent audience."

Doing a magic trick in arkham, just laughing the whole time. Of course, we even plan when is the best round and which cards we need in the black market. A crucial consideration is if the investigators manage to use all 5 cards, and there's none left, then the deck doesn't get shuffled, and the order stays.

Piloting

Warning: This does require some book keeping and patient players. You should keep a written record of every card that you play that goes to the bottom of your deck.

Basically with the amulet out, the discard will never get shuffled in. It was a very different play style, especially with the discard and deck book keeping. Most of the icons on the events are good commits. You might commit the card, and then get it's play out through the amulet.

Very very strong deck. Rocked RTCU. We almost died in Before the black throne though: we had the roughest roughest start. Drew mindless dancer in first few rounds, and our weakness enemies, and popped the agenda with 2 doom on GOO. but once we loaded the bag and played watchful peace... Mythos couldn't touch us.

We had to include A Watchful Peace, because there was way too much to do anything otherwise.

This was paired with fighter Daniela Reyes, who had token of faith, generating so much for us too.

Combos and Synergy:

Ice Pick + Scavenging: Exhaust and Ice Pick for the extra clue, then return to hand using scavenging.

Prophetic for free Keep Faith, Alter Fate, Lucky!, "Look what I found!", and boost A Test of Will.

Priest of Two Faiths and Keep Faith to fuel A Watchful Peace or Favor of the Sun.

Ancient Covenant makes sure the are not overdrawn.

Tips to pilot When Abandoned and Alone hits, you take it for what it is. Your discard is gone, and you should never be shuffling it back in.

Very important to write and note which card in your deck you first started playing events with the amulet.

As you get closer, note which cards are still yet to be drawn. And when you finally hit that first card, you now have complete control of the deck.

By the end you have a scrawled list of your deck with exact card order. You should keep cycling events back in.

Enjoy the madness. Embrace the knowledge.
