Priestess of Bubastis is an alternative to Inter-dimensional Transporter as well.  She's cheaper to play and her reduction can be used on at any time, not just on the first Mi-Go you play.  Her other strength (and weakness) is that she's a character.  Something to consider.

thanks. always was an option, but then far too many 1 costs for my liking. yha'nthlei statue is bound to make a return people !! and relying on a 1 skill is noooooooo good. haha. i value the input greatly, but 6 x 1 skill is enough in any deck i think without making it suffer at the hands of the statue. Dr Carson and the research assistant have better abilities that are needed for this specific deck, but yes, Priestess is an awesome character and in most my shub decks.

thanks again!!

                     getting interesting…..

               IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE
                           ( Version 1.2 )

 

                           Dr.Carson x 3
                   Research assistant x 3
                   Professor of folklore x 2
                       Professor zeus x 3
                       Ageless mi-go x 3
                         Mi-go scout x 3
                       Mi-go surgeon x 3
                        Mi-go warrior x 3
                        Dr.Mya Badry x 2
               Eryn Cochwyn (rev cycle ) x 3

                       Horrid mutation x 2
                    Thunder in the east x 3

                       Abhorrent spore x 2
                           Mi-go skull x 3
           Inter-dimensional transporter x 3
                    Celeano fragments x 3
                 Dreamlore documents x 2
                  Forbidden knowledge x 2
           The necronomicon ( rev cycle ) x 2
 

  Dr.Badry may go for more mi-go but performing
  quite well as it is. Heaps more playtesting and
  refining though. Found a weakness in my skull
   bearer being destroyed / bounced, but with so
   many tomes and Prof. Zeus as the bearer, it’s
  much more stable. Karen Marley an option too.

Mi-go Scalpel is a really great support card worth considering as well.  It can act as a temporary Mi-go Skull and provide your characters with some terror support until you get a skull in play.  After that it can provide whatever you need.

haha. no room at the inn !! so many cards i wish i could have and scalpel is one. thanks for the suggestion !! i think you'll find what i've got as my supports far more interesting……..

once people work out that the new eryn cochwyn sacrifices the tomes forbidden knowledge and necronomicon INSTEAD of the character to perform the action ( the tomes would be lost anyway ), and celeano fragments immediately returns the tome to hand, i think we'll be seeing this combination everywhere ( but you saw it here first !! - haha ). throw in dreamlore documents to activate every turn and name the most popular subtype in the opponents deck ( lunatics for insanity decks, attachments for khopesh decks, government for agency day decks etc ), celeano activates again to bring back a miskatonic character from discard to hand every turn you're not using it for another tome. with research asistant readying every tome activation to draw a card, and Prof. Zues paying 1 to return a tome, it's a nightmare of recurring tomes and miskatonic characters and cost increasing the opponents important cards and drawing cards. give Prof. Zeus the celeano fragments so he can't be targeted, if the support gets destroyed he can pay 1 to get it back etc. Dr. Carson to ready eryn cochwyn, if she gets destoyed, activate a tome and bring her back and it goes on and on. wow huh !!

and of course thunder in the east for snow graves……. which means for this crazy combo within combos within combos to work you need probably either shub or cthulhu. i hate cthulhu so its shub, and the mi-gos have become more a nice hard to kill combat / investigation / arcane force with potentials of terror ( again on professor zeus ), than the driving design. still a mi-go deck per se, but heaps different. i'm sure i'll experiment with dark youngs and other shub characters, but the miskatonic cards involved are my permanent concoction.

just put these cards together and you'll see what i'm blathering about and it'll make more sense:

Dr.Carson 
Research assistant
Professor zeus - Celeano fragments
Eryn Cochwyn (rev cycle )
Dreamlore documents
Forbidden knowledge
The necronomicon ( rev cycle ) 

and musuem curator will prob replace professor of folklore. i dont mind sacrificing him and then bringing him back with celeano fragments to go tome shopping, sac, bring back, sac, bring back etc.

am working on a cthulhu version now, but it'll be the same as any cthulhu / misk version of this principle i suppose. serpents and recursion or deep ones and destruction ( along with the carpathian ). probably even more powerful, but soooooo ho hum - haha.
