Blessed Preston

Level 0 version https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/2303257

This is a blessed Preston deck, making use of Eye of the Djinn and Miss Doyle to pump his stats and Double, Double and plethora of events to cheat out the clues.

While we have some combo pieces deck is flexible enough to let you get clues even without having everything on the board. Old Keyring + "Look what I found!" combo works as well on level 0 getting Double, Double plays to that combo even more later on. Same goes for Intel Report.

Another strong piece is Eye of the Djinn + Favor of the Sun + Ancient Covenant + Pilfer (get 3 clues and Pilfer back (on all <=5 shroud locations and ready up Eye for the next test if needed)). I know it's 4 combo piece, but one is permanent. When you have it you'll be able to run it multiple times per scenario, and as I said it's not "be all and end all" of the deck. Also feel free to throw in your Resourceful and/or "Watch this!" since you know you gonna pass it. You still have your Miss Doyle and other cards to cheat out the clues and other tests in the meantime.

Double, Double is as always great card in Preston Fairmont, you can combine it with Easy Mark, Hot Streak which will carry you with enough resources. Keep Faith for double bless generation and of course your clue getting cards like Intel Report and "Look what I found!". But one of the better uses for it is for sure Scrounge for Supplies. This card is also the main reason I wouldn't go for upgraded Lucky! or "Look what I found!". But worth noting is that upgraded "Look what I found!" will make it a lot easier to position yourself and pickup more clues with Double, Double in lower player counts where one location doesn't have a lot of clues. In any case Scrounge for Supplies was used mostly for Intel Report and with Double, Double to get other Scrounge for Supplies out.

Upgrade notes:

Lucky Cigarette Case isn't the best card in this deck, it's quite useful when you go with Favor of the Sun + Ancient Covenant since you know you will pass and by how much, or with cats or with Eye of the Djinn and I used it quite often. So instead of it (or maybe, even better, in addition to it) you could take Black Market, absolutely amazing card with filtered draw. It's drawbacks such as not being able to commit cards isn't applicable for us, if you would use it in addition with Lucky Cigarette Case I would remove Resourceful and then you get your whole deck playable from it and more often then not you'll have enough money to play whatever you need. Only reason why it isn't included is because I've played it a bunch and wanted to soft ban it for me for some time :).

As far as the cards that you remove from your deck, they aren't set in stone, feel free to remove Resourceful in place of "Watch this!" for example if you see that you are struggling with money generation. So in general just think what you are adding to your deck.

Additional gameplay notes

I've run this deck along Tommy Muldoon bless deck, so 2p, with Tommy Muldoon focusing on enemy management. While you are able to evade some pesky enemy when needed, focus on clues and find yourself a fighter to protect you.

Also since this is a bless deck and you have enough bless generation for you keep in mind that if you are only blesser and you play in 3/4p they will eat your bless tokens, so either see that they play some bless generation also or just play Favor of the Sun immediately after generating tokens.
