Our table played this plant in one of the Hemlock Vale scenario and we had to double check whether we got something wrong, because everything is so uncharacteristically way too convenient, lol!
- Kills any enemy engaging with anyone at your location, or even not engaging at all like Aloof enemy. You just take a look at its HP box when someone drew it in Mythos Phase and throw it into the discard pile.
- Sure picking up Uncanny Growth is once per round despite the lack of exhausting, but its so even in very busy round you can stock it on hand and get a chance to do 2x Uncanny Growth next round. There is no penalty for not feeding it constantly or holding onto Uncanny Growth. The 1 cost of Uncanny Growth rarely matters when the Seeker also owns Dr. Milan Christopher. It also comes back to hand immediately if you fail instead of being set aside!
- Not even discard the enemy like Kymani Jones ability but it defeats, so you get Victory and other stuff like Microscope as usual!
- Exhaust is nowhere in the text box so it can even eat with stockpiled growth, do the Uncanny Growth thing, then eat again in the same round!
- Felt like it should have something that directs harm to its frail 1/1 soak, or threaten you somehow if you don't feed it. Turns out the soak is not even its weakness, it's a free goodies! Unless scenario card do something very funky, no way it'll get hit when Seeker likely has an Ally that takes an actual slot to take the hit. It doesn't have an Ally trait either so scenario card that are designed to bully allies missed this thing!
- It's not even checking printed health, it checks remaining health, so for some reason if your Seeker pulled harsh tokens and can't pre-collect enough growths earlier, someone can soften it up a bit (maybe with other automatic damages) and it's still testless munching time!
Maybe "limit 1 per deck" is only its real limitation, or how the Seeker can sometimes (unlikely) lose a held-on Uncanny Growth to a treachery that discard it to discard pile and can no longer "search your bonded card" to add it back to hand. The hoops it needs to get its unlimited testless enemy management going is very easy, compared to something like Nephthys.
