Hi guys!

This is a William Yorick deck made to make him almost invincible. It works thanks two combos that you can set with 19xp.

1st combo:

Aquinnah and Peter Sylvestre. While Aquinnah reflects foes damage, Peter Sylvestre absorbs the insanity. If one of them is discard, you can always bring them back from death thanks to Yorick amazing hability. No damage, no insanity.

2nd combo:

Eucatastrophe and Drawing thin. This one concerns primarily intelligence tests, which is a big deal for our gravedigger. I have included many solutions to pick up clues without testing but sometimes there's no other way. Moreover I prefer to use this combo for low difficulty intelligence tests and my no-test option for higher ones. You begin your test (1 to 2 difficulty), exhaust Drawing thin to get 2 ressources and draw a card and boost the test by 2. Then, thanks to your 2 fresh gained ressources you use Eucatastrophe to succeed the test and get back Eucatastrophe to your hand (). Because of the low intellignece value of Yorick you almost always get to 0 because of the chaos token. But now you almost always succeed.

We are done for damage taken and clue gathering. What about sending back foes to hell? The multiple knife we have are here for that. The Meat clever combined with Peter Sylvestre allows you to do 2 damage per attack (and restore a horror after killing a foe). The Survival knife brings you the famous counter attack (action gain) to end another foe without taking any damage thanks to your allies in play!

Other vialable options:

  1. Include Police Badge to gain more actions
  2. Replace Winging it for Flashlight (I prefer Wing it because you can gather 2 clues when played from discard pile but is not mandatory)
  3. Obviously if you have 2 core set (not my case) you are able to include another Evidence or look what I found (better than Scene of the crime in my opinion)
  4. I play Trusted to enhance even more the role of my two allies but you can switch it for a healing option or Inspiring presence.

Path of leveling:

  1. Eucatastrophe to boost your clue gathering tempo
  2. Charisma to allow you to play both allies
  3. Aquinnah (replacing Alice Luxley)
  4. Peter Sylvestre 2xp (replacing the 0xp version)

I have been thinking of doing a true solo deck like this with Yorick. I really like the Guard Dogand Aquinnah combo but Peter Sylvestre and Meat Cleaver looks really strong also.

But Yorick should do pretty well getting clues with LWIF, Lucky combined with a Flashlight or Winging it and the Guardian clue cards. And he can do a lot of testless damage. I think this is an underrated deck idea for Yorick.

What about Inspiring Presence, in replacement, or addition of Trusted ? Gets you a nice skill bonus PLUS, you can ready and heal Aquinnah or Beat Cop, so more test-free damages !

You're totally right, I've forgotten the effect of Inspiring Presence, ready an Ally asset. This is a better option than Trusted. I've changed it. Thanks!

The Red-Gloved Man is an amazing addition to yorick, with your and , you can bring him multiple times, acting as a soak and a cheaper Trial by Fire, which last for the next mythos phase as well.
