Hey gang, I have a question for everyone: Have you had investigators - or indeed cards - that you had previously written off, either because you didn't find them interesting on the face of it, or you played them and didn't enjoy it or grew out of them, only to pick them back up later on and be pleasantly surprised?
I've just started playing a campaign as Joe Diamond, an investigator I didn't really find interesting, whether because of my anti-seeker bias or because he seemed a bit dull in his focus on the random chance of his hunch deck. Inspired by a post on Reddit, I used the new Practice Makes Perfect and a deck focussed on accruing resources to pump into Physical Training and Hyperawareness, with relatively few assets and non-Hunch events. I've found a lot of enjoyment in mixing gambling on Practice Makes Perfect and carefully rationing my resources with the pump talents. My fellow player has taken Marie Lambeau out for a spin and found an unexpected amount of benefit from De Vermis Mysteriis - not enough to make the deck as effective as an optimal cookie-cutter Mystic, but enough for some clutch saves and cool feeling for gameplay.
Not only am I enjoying Joe Diamond, but I'm already thinking about how I would tweak the deck for a second playthrough - for one thing, Dr Milan Christopher was a mistake, and for another, I think I would want to take Dream Diary instead of Magnifying Glass.
Any similar stories anyone has to share - or indeed deck concepts you want to try, or investigators you'd like to try out but haven't found a deck idea that really appeals for you?
