Hello everyone, Lydiens here! This is my first devlog here, thanks to Kenoma who suggested I do one, so I've wanted to do something a bit different.

Following is a (totally non-exhaustive) list of different play styles you might encounter during some of your games, or might even use yourself, and how some of the cards that fit some of these playstyles might synergize together.

I might do cards highlights posts if you like this post, so please, give me feedback on this (whether you liked it or not).

The Civilian Hoarder : 

Do you have a practical soul? Do you want to save more civilians than you sacrifice? Then The Civilian Hoarder Play Style is for you!

The Everything Tree 

Just take your average civilian and press it against the bark of this tree. Now you've got two! Unfortunately, due to some Ethics Committee restrictions, you can only do that once per turn.

Bifurcating Man 

Every 4 weeks, this man will just split himself into two entities that are exact copies of himself. Of course, you should kill the second instance, but why not use it for some sweet testing?

Copy Of A

Surely, you can find a use for the bodies that this girl seems to mass-produce. Whatever you do, don't let them come in contact with samples of SCP-447.

Dream Man

Whenever you fall asleep, he is here. To warn you, and help you limit the losses of human life everytime there is some unforeseen circumstances, so you can keep your civilian pool fresh and full.

The Serial Killer : 

If your only reason to live is to end innocent civilians' lives, well, I have news for you: You may be a psychopath. But don't worry, we've got a Play Style for you.

Tophet

Do you often take the train or the airplane? Well, then you must hate babies. Well now, you can just use Tophet  to sacrifice them to Moloch and kill some of your opponents' civilians in the process .

Critical Tomatoes

Don't tell any jokes. No seriously, don't. Except if you want to have these tomatoes crash into your face at more than 160 km/h. 

Oh damn. Looks like no one warned the civilians.

Stalker Mailbox

Who could be that mysterious admirer that sends letters to the women working on your site? And why is that mailbox in front of the site bathroom window?

Builder Bear

What a cute teddy bear! And he's playing with the children on your site too! Just try to ignore the fact that new teddy bears keep appearing, and children are disappearing.

The Neutralizer : 

"Anomalies are TOO weird", you think. "They should all disappear". Then put on your GOC suit, and take a look at The Neutralizer Play Style.

Neutralization Specialist

Containing IS NOT ENOUGH. You will only be at peace once you've neutralized EVERY SINGLE ANOMALY. And this specialist is here to help you.

Scientist

Well, looks like you can't neutralize EVERY anomaly after all. But this scientist came at you with a method to make them perfectly harmless in the meantime. It costs A LOT, but you can totally afford it... can you? Wait, you've got a call from the Accounting department.

Secret Chord

Alright, so the Accounting department just told you you can't afford to hire one thousand scientists at once in the upcoming week. Well, the good thing is that you found a new way to neutralize anomalies. And it's free. Oh well, if you consider spending a few human lives once in a while free.

great ideas that are TOTALY USELESS (lulz)

Alright, so according to the Ethics Department, terminating three people every two days is "too much". Good thing is, someone left a really badly written document in the drawer of your desk. It's hard to read, but there are some great ideas there! Why don't you try them out?

The Thief : 

Finding anomalies in the wild is way too dangerous. Isn't it better to steal once someone else has already done the hard work of containing them for you?

Logistics Officer

You don't need to go rogue to steal a few anomalies. You just need the right contacts, to sign the right papers. And anomalies from other sites mysteriously get moved somewhere else without you moving from your desk chair.

External Affairs Officer

Today, in the little city of ██████, an explosion caused by █████████ a gas leak explosion caused a number of casualties estimated between █ and ███ lives. Governments officials mentioned that this incident was "a tragedy for the little city of ██████, but that it was an unusual incident that no one could have predicted".

SRA Field Agent

Containing reality benders is a really difficult task. Do you know how many reality anchors you need to contain a single one? And do you know what would happen, if they were to accidentally turn off for a single second? Well, you do know in whose site the anomaly would get transferred if that happens.

Recurring Board Position

Ancient strategy games are really useful to train your ability to plan your wrongdoings. Chess, checkers, shogi... You've tried them all, but your favorite one has got to be the game of Go.

The HR Officer : 

Are your employees are not working hard enough? Fire them! No, even better: kill them! Then kill other players' employees! Productivity is key.

Joe Schmo

Nothing's wrong with that poor dude, aside from the fact that he can't die. And that everyone who interviews him seems to take sick leave the day after.

Site Director 

Last month's number just came in: looks like we'll have to get rid separate ourselves from some of our employees if we don't want to go bankrupt.

Amnestics Specialist

Not all test are harmful to your subjects. But quite a lot of them are traumatic: you're not a monster, so the least you could do would be to pump them full of amnestic and send them back to their boring life, only for them to be traumatized again by recurring nightmares of the thing they could not quite forget, due to the fact that you had to replace Class-C amnestics by Class-A amnestics. sighs. Budget cuts, amirite?

Glory Hole

Is there a better way to get rid of your problematic employee than to throw them in a wormhole that's connected to a universe full of people that hates the foundation? Well probably, but at least it's quick, it's easy and it's free.
