Mateo Performs True Magic(k) on Scenario 1

Starting Point: 18 XP Setup

• Using the combination of Ascetic + In the Thick of It + Father Mateo provides 18XP from the beginning.
• This XP budget unlocks the core of the True Magick (TM) strategy, as detailed by @ethereal64 in the decklist: A Card to Play: The True Magick 1.0

Main Strategy

• True Magick activate a spells from your hand ,
• Blood Pact activate from your hand thanks to TM, place a doom on TM and get +2
• Twila Katherine Price replace a charge on TM,
• Sign Magick activate another spell for free.
• Sin-Eater move doom from TM to Sin-Eater and place one charge on TM.

Spell Customization

• The Spells in this deck are generic placeholders, you can tailor the spell choices depending on your campaign role and needs.
• It is recommended to include at least some non-charge-based spells to enable unlimited actions with TM.

Experience Gain Considerations

• Ascetic prevents XP gain during the campaign. However, you can still upgrade spells using: Down the Rabbit Hole + 2x Arcane Research

Alternative Functionality: Killed "Gator Replacer" (0 XP)

• This deck can also serve as a killed "Gator Replacer" with 0 XP.
• Examples of this approach: 1, 2
