4 Player Compatible

I've seen a lot of requests for 4 player compatible decks for Brethren of Ash (i.e. requiring one core set) - this is my take on it. I don't play 4 player so these are untested, but I'm sure they'll work fine (and there's a number of concepts similar to playtested decks). I'll keep these guides briefer than normal!

NOTE: The version issue persists on ArkhamDB where you can't post decks with new versions of old cards. Please use Ch2 cards of the same name in all cases.

Overview

Stats
Clue-finding:	★★★☆☆
Consistency:	★★★★☆
Enemy Management:	★★★★☆
Encounter Defense:	★★★★★
Survivability:	★★★★☆
Simplicity:	★★★★☆

Role: Jack of all trades.

Concepts and Combos: Meat Cleaver with Aleksey Saburov and Cloak of Resonance allow you to deal good damage (putting the horror on your soak assets) and heal horror off yourself from Izzie's ability. Old Compass or Hand-Crank Flashlight is your clue finding, bolstered by 21 symbols, Perception and Scrape By.

Drawbacks: This deck is resource economy poor, expect to take some resource actions to get going in most cases.

Campaign starter and planned progression

For the starter deck, please remove any XP bearing cards and instead use the cards listed in the side deck. A recommended order of purchases/upgrades is:

• Spiritual Intuition → Old Compass

• "Shove off!" → Scrape By

• Slippery → On the Brink

• Meat Cleaver → Meat Cleaver •••

Final thoughts

Hope you enjoy something that works for four player (I'm lazily going to use this outro on all decks!). For more optimal decks for lower player counts, I would suggest using the fully playtested decks I posted previously. Let me know what you think...
