I've found the best thing about Sewer King Hamelin is not having to focus on making rats...they just happen which is awesome. Not to mention that by having a Rat or Stolen to hand you never have to stone for cards, add in to that the obligatory Killjoy delivery (which you have) from an Infectious Melody rat & your golden. In this sort of crew I stay away from the Plague & use Survivalist as it's too good to pass up & as Sewer King & Piper you'll be using those actions up on obey so no need to focus on blighted too much. Personally I've been running Iggy & Baby Kade & they're really nice to have in the crew as Kade always has a buddy in a Rat & Iggy has cool tricks at neat price (& is virtually an auto include if you're facing Tara). I would maybe consider starting with less Rats, I like to start with just one, & use the points elsewhere....maybe Oathkeeper on Killjoy Here's my list at this size; Hamelin -- 5ss +Sewer King - 1ss +The Piper - 2ss +Survivalist - 1ss The Stolen - 2ss Baby Kade - 7ss Iggy - 5ss Killjoy - 12ss +Oathkeeper - 1ss Malifaux Rat - 2ss Nix - 8ss +Infectious Melodies - 1ss Obedient Wretch - 4ss I'll be picking up some Crooligans like yourself as they're amazing runners for Hamelin
