The thing that makes it a weaker entry is the fact that (unlike many of the other decks on this list) it doesnt actually contain many competitively viable cards
Greater Tanuki Our highest-scoring common on today's list is this Dog
Sarah Jane Smith One of the more flexible Doctor Who companions, Sarah Jane Smith, is also a reasonable include for decks that care about historic spells, where theyll usually make you a Clue token a turn
