Delve Too Deep: An In-Depth Look at Arkham Horror LCG

By theaficionado, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Hey guys!

I haven't posted it here before, but figured this may be one of the better places to let people know.

I've been writing a blog that goes VERY in-depth about this game we all love.

My most recent post is about upcoming investigator Rex Murphy.

Your articles are fantastic! I've bookmarked your blog for further reading.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed them :) I'll be sure to keep 'em coming then!

Holy smoke! Amazing to say that the word "fantastic" to describe your analyses may actually be an understatement.

I'm putting together a Skids deck and found your analysis dead-on.

Definitely going into my favorites. Thanks for your work.

That's some very high praise. Thank you so very much, and you're very welcome! :) Glad to have you around!

Two Barricade on Rex? Unsubscribed. :P

It's completely filler, initially. You can easily replace it with more Skills or tomes if you really want to.

Good blog. Looking forward to reading Daisy when it is reloaded.

Absolutely. Daisy seems very good and I'm interested in OP's thoughts and deck ideas.

Hi dear aficionado,

If you search through the threads you will see a thread named "Rex Murphy: the ultimate scavenger?" and I'm so happy to see someone else with this absolutely crazy mechanich!!!

What I wondered is why not use at least for the beginnning a leather jacket, it helps with survivability and you can later swap it for a bulletproof vest!

I think Rex is a wonderful team player and will work perfectly with someone with the teamwork card, generating ressources for the whole party.

Hello, dear Mogwen! :)

Turns out I'm not the only insane one then! ;)

You can begin with Leather Jacket, but it takes up a precious out of faction slot. You can't cut Scavenging as it's too precious, and I play two Burglary because I want to see it early. The only other option is Rabbit's Foot, and of the two, I think the Foot is a little better. You can certainly play the Jacket if you're finding damage to be an issue, but I like the wild icon AND the ability of Rabbit's Foot.

Hope you enjoyed the article and keep on coming back for more! :)

Well, rabbit's foot is fantastic for Rex. Your elder sign ability gives you the option to fail (someone correct me if the timing doesn't work for this) and his weakness invites failure as well by making you redraw the chaos token.

You should be spot on for the timing. Rabbit's Foot triggers after you fail, Rex's Elder Sign makes you fail. Trigger Elder Sign, draw three cards and fail, trigger Rabbit's Foot draw one card.

Bookmarked. Good stuff you have there, keep up the good work!

Always happy to be producing content people enjoy :) Thanks for reading!

Hi everybody,

So I've been thinking a while and yes I won't use leather jacket cause later I can use bulletproof vest, but at the same time I'm not sold on rabbit's foot because it will compete with both disc of Itzmana and elder sign amulet for your precious neck slot.

I think I will rather use liquid courage that takes no slot and will with medical text help you fill the role of the seeker/ healerand later on as the campaign advances help you deal with mental traumas.

And with Zoey Samaras or Agnes Baker in your team, it will be a pleasure to see them heal 2 horrors with one action!

And I use 2 scavenging and 2 burglary of course!

You can definitely phase out Rabbit's Foot once you've gotten Disc. I don't agree with the inclusion of Liquid Courage though; you don't have the Willpower to consistently pass the test, and the action is often better served elsewhere.

Thanks for reading and commenting! :) Hope to see you around some more!

Well, I wasn't thinking of liquid courage on Rex but more on people like mystics and survivors who tend to have high willpower for them one action heal 2 horrors seems a good investment even zoey samaras can quite benefit from it, I know it depends on team composition but when you know your teammmates that seems a good fit!

Plus I love item with charges on Rex (yes, I look at you torchlight!).

The perspective that every expansion will include new items is just exciting (I'm looking forward some new seeker and neutral items).

I will run 2 burglary and 2 scavenging so the last out of class card must be an item, and I was thinking about something generous, and healing horror with a gulp of whisky looks so cool!

I find your stuff so interesting and the new expansion provides new ideas for deckbuilding ( Agnes Baker will greet the appearance of Peter Sylvestre in her life!).
