Grisly Totem is Idol of Xanatos So you are playing Innsmouth and thought to yourself "Moving out of the water every turn sucks". Well I have good news for you! With this deck you can theoretically never leave the underwater. Yorick has built his own Diving suit! General concept, get Idol of Xanatos (Scarlet keys Investigator box card #102) into play plus a pair of bandages. Use Idol to discard 3 cards to prevent 3 of the damage then heal the other two with Bandages after you take them. (Make sure to never have 6 damage before this or you will die). "I've had worse…" can be used as a buffer while trying to get set up. Similarly Spirit of Humanity can be used to shove curses into the deck to heal damage if you take too much from other sources. Now you might be wondering "How do I manage to draw 3 cards a round to keep oxygen in my diving suit?" Well that's why I did something that I swore I never would do and put drawing thin in a deck. During your turn, one action needs to be a test that you double drawing thin on. If you currently have 1 or less card, both need to be cards. Otherwise one can be resources if you need. This means you can tank at minimum 2 of the damage using cards. Eventually you get to the state as follows: End of your turn you discard down to 0 cards in hand. In a player window before upkeep, tap Madame Labranche for a card. Then you upkeep a card. (2 cards in hand unless weakness found in which case 1 card unless you get really unlucky). Player phase, action 1 (or 2/3 if you need to deal with an enemy on you first) double drawing thin to get up to exactly 3 cards and take resources with the rest (since we want to drop down to 0 for Madame value, and we need to spend resources to keep this up) At the end of turn, use idol to discard 3 to cancel 3 of the drowning damage and use bandages to heal the other two. Try to space your bandages so they won't both die the same round since you can only replace on at a time. Use Spirit of Humanity to heal extra damage if you end without the ability to soak 100% of drowning for a round. Substitutions: All of the weapons, leather coat, and all of the events/skills are not required. You need some weapons and the events and skills are just there to heal/prevent damage or draw cards. The exception is E-cache which honestly could be removed since it was theoretically there to aid with recharging chainsaws but again, weapons are your choice. Just remember any event/skill you have is probably never going to get played once you are set up since you plan to draw and discard 3 cards every round. Only playing is recurring assets using your ability. Technically you can do this concept with any Survivor if instead of bandages you just use spirit of humanity twice every round and make sure to draw enough curse tokens in tests that you can keep doing that. But bandages make it more consistent. So congratulations Yorick, you have conquered water! Now how you use this power is up to you. Editor's note: This was not a serious deck. In the Mythos Buster Discord a contributor (Veronica) came up with an ambassador project for the spoiled Scarlet keys cards and my randomly drawn card was Idol of Xanatos. I thought about doing a "good" deck that used it but ran into problems where I couldn't really find a place this fit but another card didn't. The main draw over just running soak is that this can stop direct damage/horror. So obviously Calvin is a choice for it but, that seemed like the boring answer to me. Plus I only make joke decks to share so... this was born. In answer to the inevitable question of "how do you win with this deck?", honestly you probably don't. I just like the idea of Yorick sitting underwater for basically all eternity. Thanks for reading my Joke deck!
