This is a basic X-Files deck comprised of mostly common cards. The card mix is well-balanced among the various aspects of the game. A little Criminal Investigation here, a little Evidence Collection there-the four starting agents are more than adequate to handle the job. In fact, in most cases, you'll only need two to uncover the secrets behind the sites in the deck. With a little luck, you'll be able to investigate two sites a turn, wrapping up the case quickly and efficiently. The offensive end of this deck is similarly well-balanced. You never know where your opponent is going to go, so there's an adversary for everything. Just stopping your opponent a couple of times should give you the advantage you need.

Surprised to see Fox Mulder in the deck instead of as a starting agent? Well, besides the fact that using Mulder is so cliche, his broad range of abilities is balanced by the disadvantage that you can only use the resources he provides to buy cards. When played as a one-shot, Mulder will help you solve just about any case, and he doesn't take away space from the rest of your starting line-up.

Hard Evidence. You'll have a difficult time playing cards like Fox Mulder if you don't have enough RP lying around, so be sure to stock up on resources with the handy-dandy event Hard Evidence.

Relentless Pursuit. Speaking of hard, it's awfully hard for your opponent to do anything when he can't draw cards, and Relentless Pursuit is a great way to stop him from doing just that. Chuck just one high RP card (like Mulder!) to thwart your opponent's nefarious schemes.

Travel Arrangements. You never know when your opponent is going to put a crimp in your plans by springing some nasty surprise on one of your teams of agents. If a mysterious beastie knocks one of your agents out of commission, send one of your other agents over after the battle to make sure that skill check succeeds. Forget the wounded agent-the investigation must go on!
