Ativo. Arcane
Ritual.
Cost: 2. XP: 5.
When you commit cards to a skill test you are performing, choose a skill card in your discard pile and discard 1 card from your hand: Commit the chosen skill to this test. After this skill test resolves, place that skill card on the bottom of your deck. (Limit once per round.)
No faqs yet for this card.
Note: Stella Clark's Neither Rain nor Snow is a survivor skill card! Arcane is a noncompetitive slot for her, so any Stella deck with even halfway good XP can absolutely justify a copy of Gift of Nodens.
Stella also likes to run Take Heart, which is another fantastic combo here.
This creates a loop and is a fantastic card. It is presently probably the best card in the drowned city cycle.
Basically survivors already have cards that like to be in the discard pile. Improvised shield, winging it, improvised weapon, moonstone, glimmer of hope, etc.
Gift of Nodens lets you retrieve good skills (i.e., resourceful) and put cards that want to be in the discard into the discard. By using this pretty much exclusively with resourceful, you basically guarantee that you both keep resourceful going in your deck (and keep survivor assets that got tossed in your hand) while setting up these "from the discard pile" effects.
Does this break Silas or is it required to solve the whole text of this cards leaving no room to Silas's ability? I mean, he doesn't need more broken tech, Unrelenting is such a badly designed card (in a powerful way).
Even if this doesn't work the way I mentioned before, the card is bananas in Silas. Doubling on your Brute Force and Resourceful copies just by playing skills and fueling your discard pile is incredibly powerful. It's the wet dream for Survivor players.
Finally a 5xp Survivor Card and WOW What a Card!!
Perfect Target to use is obviously Resourceful to use it multiple times per Round. Gumption or Brute Force are insane too.
Turns from Silas Marsh can already be very crazy. This Card might get him to S Tier Levels.
Another Investigator can use it Gift with Scroll of Secrets to get your card back from the bottom of your Deck immediately. I use Resourceful to get my Lucky! 3 back to my Hand and have it every turn. The 3rd Card of Fortuitous Discovery is another good target for example. Neither Rain nor Snow as mentioned. The list is almost endless what to get back.
I guess we will see a taboo nerf on this Combo (like the nerf to Scavenging) in a later time. But the Problem with Combo is might not be Gift of Nodens, its maybe more Resourceful. Something like 1x Resourceful per Round or the Card from Gift of Nodens gets shuffled back into the Deck, rather then on the Bottom of the Deck. So play it while its hot. :)
