Managing Doom

By Phaed, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

I'm a fairly new player, and I am building a solo 2-handed game to play through Dunwich using Jim Culver and Zoey Samaras. I've read a lot about Blood Pact decks for Culver, and my question is: Is there any way to manage doom on the board other than killing enemies and advancing the Agenda?

Hi Phaed, welcome to the game.

In terms of managing doom for Blood pact and mystic doom cards in general, there's generally two options, that aren't mutually exclusive, right now.

A. Moonlight Ritual to clear doom off a card before it would cause the agenda to advance prematurely.

B. Add a bunch of doom the turn before the agenda would hit its doom threshold naturally, the witching hour if you'd like to call it.
