Cable's Chance to Turn the Tide (WH98)

For those not in the know WH98 = Winning Hand Podcast Episode 98, in which they discuss Chance Encounter.

I like Chance Encounter a LOT with Cable because he plays so many side schemes, and in this deck he also digs side schemes out of the encounter deck with One Way or Another. Defeat a Side Scheme with an attached Chance Encounter and find Manifold who will find a Player Side Scheme from you Deck or Discard Pile and you can often defeat that one too.

Rinse and Repeat!

A super fun turn is when you:

• Use One Way or Another to find a side scheme and draw three cards
• Play Chance Encounter on that side scheme
• Use Graymalkin to pay for something
• Exhaust Cable to either Thwart that side scheme or Attack
• Defeat the Side Scheme with an event which readies you AND Graymalkin, and draws you a card if you have Skilled Investigator in play
• Play Turn the Tide for some "free" damage
• Chance Encounter finds Manifold and you can pay for him with the cards you drew and Graymalkin
• He finds you a player side scheme which you should be able to pay for because you've drawn 4 total cards this phase
• Defeat THAT side scheme which readies Graymalkin again
• Use Graymalkin to fire your Plasma Rifle

"Spamming" Manifold helps fill your Victory Display with Player Side Schemes which "levels up" Mind Scan, Telekinetic Blast, and your Plasma Rifle.
