Is this OP for Luke?

Luke Robinson -> Dream-gate -> Double magnifying glass (0) -> Any + 1 book ally -> Any + 1 book accessory -> Analysis -> Testing Sprint

Zero EXP with the potential to absorb all clues in one action as the only reliable fail on standard would be 4 shroud locations (-4) token???

Just want to confirm that this would work with testing sprint if you 1st action used this in dream-gate then dropped testing sprint.

With Testing Sprint you are investigating multiple locations, so this card only affects Dream-Gate. — AlderSign · 477 10/13/26

It's not clear exactly who this card is for: none of our Chapter 2 rogues, Trish Scarborough, André Patel or Dexter Drake have a high enough combat to reliably pull this off, and Dexter would likely not have exhausted an enemy first. I can't see any of those three loading their decks with combat icons or wanting to spend extra card commits to make this work. The 2xp version A Sudden Fall seems to be the space this card was intended for. This card should have been fight with agility with no bonus and then have the upgrade add combat and +1 damage. The art is pretty great, though!

You’re a rare breed! I have not heard a lot of (any) praise for this illustration. May I ask if the pushing character’s right arm looks okay to you? Like, do you see it—or even him more generally—as naturally positioned based on what’s going on in the picture? Or is it more like you like the concept or the absurdity or something? — Eudaimonea · 9 10/12/26

Deliverance

Spoiler!

I absolutely LOVE the artwork! It's Dr. Rosa Marquez looking back to the Investigators in the final scenario of the Feast of Hemlock Vale right before she sacrifices herself to safe everybody. The determination in the gaze of this stoic woman in the face of death totally grips me emotionally. I get tears in my eyes every time I look at it. I can't appreciate that artwork enough!

Favor of Baalshandor

An alternative to Uncage The Soul. But here's my big issue:

If you have no Asset to play, this is a dead card in your hand. Uncage The Soul has two Willpower icons on it. Without a card to combo this with... this is literally useless. I'm willing to take the point of damage to drop a Mystic rocket launcher in an enemy's face by avoiding the attack of opportunity, but outside of an exclusive Chapter 2 cardpool, that lack of Skill icons feels like a dealbreaker.

There’s also Marie’s ability to, her weakness and scroll of prophecies to discard it to — Django · 5268 10/10/26

Uncage also works on events — HeroesOfTomorrow · 117 10/11/26

Can we play event from discard pile twice with Double, Double, or event removed from the game immediately? ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Nope, "after" triggers when the event is already removed from the game. Should be clear from the FAQs on that card's review page. — AlderSign · 477 10/9/26

Even if both "afters" triggered simultaneously, the event from being removed from the game prevents further interaction with the game during the initiation sequence (https://arkhamdb.com/rules#Appendix_I_Initiation_Sequence). — AlderSign · 477 10/9/26

I don’t think we have a clear rule on this. — Eudaimonea · 9 10/9/26
