Am very much looking forward to your Rex guide using all sets. Been playing AH for about a year now - went ahead and just bought everything - it’s overwhelming to say the least and your videos are a great help!
I know this video is old but its the one I'm currently watching: you guys have been my absolute source for learning arkham as i dive into this amazing game, and it's fantastic
Thanks for your comment. :)
@@PlayingBoardGames im playing this deck but without 2x inquiring mind, 1 proposterous sketches and 1 dr maleson as I don't own those cards yet. I decided on my own replacements and im still new so idk if they are right but what do you think? +1 lab assistant, +1 guts, +1 medical texts, +1 manual dex
@@MrSuperdelf I think those changes are great! There's only one that I find a bit weak. Were there any other options you were considering besides Medical Texts? That card seems a little slow and swingy to me.
@@PlayingBoardGames I'll look into a change, i played the first scenario and drew it and never wanted to do anything with it besides commit it
@@PlayingBoardGames but i did replace it this campaign with cryptic research
Thanks so much for this guide. I'm new to AH: LCG, just started playing The Dunwich Horror with "Asham" Pete and my ass was handed to me so much that I've decided to start over. I hope Rex serves me better.
My go to for Rex for off class is Burglary, Scavenging and Ward of Protection.
Which do you include a single copy of?
@@Synckronick burglary usually.
I had to just look up Scavenging, as I haven't played Survivor decks all that much as yet. I've just been creating a Rex deck for an up-coming stand-alone, and went with the same as you but with Dodge instead of Scavenging. I've always found Dodge as a great help, usually played by the Guardian player [not me]: I feel it's a bit like a Ward of Protection against enemies; it certainly helps to give you a chance to do one more thing before dealing with that enemy.
@@mrSpaceman2001 I've never had a problem with enemies as Rex but getting to reuse Finger Printing Kit and Flashlight is amazing. Use them up and replace them only to just put them back into your hand. Also using Necronomicon for pips only to put it back into your hand later is real fun.
"This is in a time of the game where we're not going to do 5's for stats yet" Agnes: am I a joke to you?
Whoops. Eat it, Agnes.
Also Daisy
Rex has a very Rogue-like succeed by two. And conveniently, Lucky Cigarette Case is a charm, but not fortune.
I love all your Arkham Horror content! It would be nice if you would discuss and recommend cards from other sets (besides core set and the investigator's set)
We are going to be releasing deck lists for investigators that have all cycles when we're finished up our new player guides.
@@PlayingBoardGames Awesome!
@@PlayingBoardGames Amazing!!!!!!
Probably not going to see this, but I want to see the extended deck tech of this so bad. We're finally going to do Dunwich as our next cycle and I'm going to run Rex and I always watch your videos before building a deck to see all of the different ideas and hear why they would work. Anyway, I get so much use out of your channel and thank you for making these videos.
I'm not sure when extended Rex is, but he'll come eventually! I'm glad you find our videos helpful! Thanks for commenting! :)
Rex, Elusive, Dr Milan Christopher, Higher Education - it is a pretty taboo heavy build. I agree with you that new players should play with the cards as printed and then switch. That switch, for this deck, is going to be a mighty big change! Why not just make a 'taboo build' by adding Machete?
9:10 In another example of Justin having a 6:25 Survivor-caveman-"Lucky-good,-Lucky-go-in", "Look What I Found!" is also a Fortune card, and thus ineligible for Rex.
Rex D Tier.
Currently playing Rex through blind Carcosa in 3p, he's silly. My 5 off colour are 1 x Elusive, 2 x Ward of Protection, 2 x Winging It
no emergency cache ?
I just played this deck in 1st DUNWICH SCENARIO as a clue finder along with NAT CHO killer, thanks alot ;)
Q about Strange Solution, when I have 2 copies, and I identified 1 copy during scenario - it means I can upg one card (for 4XP), since I could gain only 3XP during 1st scenario I have to wait for more XPs. In next scenario I can identified another copy to be prepared for future UPG for total8XP. Am I right?
THANKS for your contend!
Yeah, each upgraded Strange Solution costs you 4 XP, if you upgrade one, you don't automatically upgrade the other. :)
Travis feels like you guys' boss
Using this in Carcosa with a couple changes..
Dropped Maleson for Logical Reasoning,
Swapped Strange Solution(s) for Archaic Glyphs..
Which of the 3 Archaic Glyphs (3) might be the most useful? - he’s paired with Akachi (from her video)
Guiding Stones is helpful if you want even more clue acceleration, but Prophecy Foretold can be good to allow Rex a bit of independence to take pressure off Akachi for turns where she has her own monsters to deal with.
Shrewd Analysis. 😎
Is it even certain that Rex's ability wasn't a misprint? It *feels* like a misprint.
(E.g. compare with Roland having a limit, or Pete.)
Can this deck play alone? I mean it almost has no means to defeat enemies. How can survive any yellow character single player?
There are a few tricks that yellow investigators can use to fight or avoid monsters. You can look at I've Got A Plan, Strange Solution and Mind Over Matter. Those are just from core and Dunwich. There are also some other tricks like Disc of Itzamna.
@@PlayingBoardGames Yes, i used alll of them and could barely survive in the midnight mask scenario. As soon the hunter appeared i was running for my life. It dint helped that the Ghoul Priest came next. Problem is that weak enemies like cultist make you spend some of this cards before, it makes very difficult to fight bigger enemies later. It seems to me that yellow characters can only be played in multiplayer.
@@amsfountain8792 I agree on the opinion that they have a hard time to deal with every enemy they are facing.
But I also think that it gets very much of an easier job when having a greater card-collection.
Also when you play solo, you do not necessarily need cards like e.g. Deduction because there are 1 to 2 clues at locations.
So you can focus on dealing with enemies. Even a Knife can kill and with 5 off-yellow cards you can boost your damage and deal with them in a more absolute way instead of evading.
Upgrade strange solution to acidic ichor asap to have a complete nuke for enemies
still 1 of the best!
Seeking Answers?
I went with a Seeking Answers in my own Rex deck; I'll have to wait an see how that goes. My idea is that Rex can move ahead, revealing two locations, then save time by using Seeking Answers from the last location. I also feel that this card would work well with Barricade: keep the enemies at bay, but get the locations from underneath them.
Deck has 31 cards.
Check deck for ArkhamDB link in video description, there was an error in the slides for this deck.
@@PlayingBoardGames Yes. 9+14+8=31 This is what is there as well. You have the same cards on the database as you have in the video.
I don't think I am missing anything. 31 cards. None are permanents.
Deck limit is 30 if I'm not mistaken. 🤭😇
So which card is not meant to be in the deck?
edit: Yes it says "30 cards (33 total)" at the top, but count the cards yourself. This number is wrong. I'm not a wiz at maths, but the deck in this video is the exact same deck in the database.
Oh wait...
I'm dumb. Rex's card is counted in that lot. There's my mistake. When deck building I never list the cards that come with the investigator as they don't count towards the deck limit. They are auto includes.
@@Kindlesmith70 The card type header amounts count signature assets, events, and skills in their count. Note that Search for the Truth is under the event section but signatures don't count towards the decksize.
@@PlayingBoardGames Yes i figured that out. Thankyou. Sorry about my confusion. You have it listed as a multiplayer deck. What would you do different if this deck were for solo play? I'd be keen to hear.
Actually what cards would you use if you had every set up to Edge of the Earth?
As a paying patron, one of the major issues this channel has is that it's fundamentally really hard to watch on a phone. The text is unreadable. I don't have a solution, but I'm guessing that 50-70% of users are using their cellphones to watch the content.
That is a tough thing to solve without each slide just being individual images of the cards. I'll look at seeing if there's a way to better show cards in the future, but our informational videos showcasing cards aren't really designed to best be viewed on phones in their current state.
