What I'm trying to do: The goal of the deck is to utilize the Pendant of the Queen, The Red Clock and Eldritch Sophist combo. Red Clock generates a charge every turn, Pendant uses charges, the Sophist moves charges from the clock to the pendant.
So, the clock is permanently stuck at "it's action o'clock", and the pendant never runs out of charges. So we get teleports, auto-evades, clues, whatever we want.
The idea of the deck is to eventually upgrade into a bunch of card draw and deck searching, to find the combo quickly and consistently. This is why I'm running one-offs of Fieldwork, Dream Diary, Archaic Glyphs. I'm planning to find them relatively quickly, so I don't really need copies, and can try to get more value out of the deck.
Considering we want a lot of searches, Astounding Revelation and the Practice Makes Perfect package make a lot of sense. They are poweful cards that work well with what we're trying to do.
Upgrades path:
-
On deck creation, we can take In the Thick of It, Charon's Obol, cut x2 Eurekas and x1 Manual Dexterity, and take x3 Segment of Onyx. This will give us a lot of xp, and allow us to try to get the pendant in the very first scenario.
But this is a bit more risky, plus my Leo Anderson was already doing the same thing with Charon's Obol, so I couldn't use it anyway. But this is a very big consideration imo.
So we don't use In the Thick of it, just get the Segments after the first scenario. Could get Charon's Obol, as well.

Cut Hallowed Mirror, get Relic Hunter, The Red Clock
We need Relic Hunter because Pendant of the Queen takes an Accessory slot.
-
Upgrade to Backpack (2)
-
Upgrade to Whitton Greene (2)
-
Dream Diary - I like the shroud one the best
-
Cut x1 Manual Dexterity, get Death • XIII
-
Archaic Glyphs - I want the clues one
-
x2 Studious
-
Cut x2 Guts, get x2 Lucid Dreaming, to get our segments faster. I'm not actually sure we need this. Could be that guts are just better, or we should get something to boost our stats, like x1 Hyperawareness (4) or whatever, istead.
-
Cut x2 Magnifying Glass, get x2 Cryptic Research
-
Cut x1 Crack the Case, get The Eye of Truth
This is gross overkill. I don't think this is the best upgrade. I don't think we even have the xp for that. But the card looks sick, and we can maybe run it, so screw it, when else are we going to do it?!
