[Le Potager] Jim Culver, street musician - TDL Normal

This deck is meant for a 4 investigators party. Jim is played as a sanity healer support. He plays alongside with Roland Banks (tank), Rex Murphy (clue oriented) and Skid'o'Toole (ressource oriented). Thematically, I wanted to play Jim as a poor musician, raised by the street laws.

The starting idea was to use Jim's Trumpet ability to support the party by healing sanity. Indeed, the probability to draw a token is great with 4 players. So to support this idea I looked for 2x Clarity of Mind to set the healer concept and help my crew.

Then, I wanted to go straight for a Dark Horse deck to get 5 4 4 3 most of the time. This should be good for pratically 2/3 of the skill tests. I put 2x Dark Horse and 1x No Stone Unturned to get it rapidly (around 65% chance to get it in my starting hand this way Mulligan included).

To manage resources, I finally opted for 1x Madame Labranche, Lone Wolf, 2x Forbidden Knowledge. This is the most versatile combo to manage my resources/phase problems.

Because I have no resources most of the time I needed 2x Uncage the Soul to unleash 2x Shrivelling or 1x Storm of Spirits

I tried the knife or the fireaxe, but finally decided to go without weapon only relying on my bare hands or my spells. My hands need to be free for 1x Jim's Trumpet or the 1x Ritual Candles. Later for the Grotesque Statue.

2x Arcane Initiate are here to get rapidly the spells in hand and to stand Jim's sanity loss on Forbidden Knowledge. 2x Fearless / 2x Holy Rosary have the same goal. 1x Painkillers are here to sustain damages in emergency cases. Both Roland and Skid have First Aid.

This Jim Culver deck should be a Mario deck, no real weakness, no real strength, but a solid and consistent deck for almost all circumstances.
