Anything You Can Do, Better

Anything You Can Do, Better

So, having played TCU with Wini; this card is good... but I found myself holding it in tow a whole damn deal for WP tests, which is unfortunate. Of course, you can recur it in varying ways like Opportunist, but it's not reliable, especially on harder difficulties.

Wini being WP1 really hurts her starter deck. There is of course Tennessee Sour Mash or (3); and tons of other cards other investigators can tote, but this feels like the Band-Aid of the deck for that particular problem.

In low WP-treachery campaigns this could probably let you pull off some big plays!

Honestly, WIni is motivated to overcommit anyway, so even without her sig, with enough draw (esp with lucky Cig Case) you should be able to comfortably overcommit to some will tests. You still have to be discerning, but you can beat Frozen in Fear without much trouble. And there is always "You handle this one!", which should be a staple for any low will Rogue at this point. — StyxTBeuford · 13052
Ah, I don't own TFA yet, but that's a great shout -- def a solid card! — fiatluxia · 68
WP1 = Wonky Player One? — MrWeasely · 42
will power 1, I think. — Olimarrex · 5

Breaking and Entering

Breaking and Entering

So this isn't in the same vein as Seeker or Guardian cards that let you cheat 2+ clues at a location. But!

How often have you been playing as the Rogue and you need clues AND evade the enemy both? Well, I play exclusively two-handed, and in two-investigator games, this seems absolutely amazing.

Encounter deck got you bogged down? -- No worries, play this; many rogues aim to succeed by 2 or more anyway -- the upside is fantastic, saving actions!

INT and AGI icons are just gravy, the 2 cost is reasonable; I think I'll be trying this very soon.

I also see does not provoke attack of oppertunity tided to an investigate action as something I like alot, and I think trish agrees with me. — Zerogrim · 296
Yes, the fact you can avoid AoO makes this card way stronger! — fiatluxia · 68
Yes, Trish loves this card. Since the enemy is automatically evaded, she can just use her ability to grab an extra clue. — eapfel · 6

Skeptic

Skeptic

Skepticism is only relevant when there’s something to deny. So a plus one to a skill test isn’t that useful. But when you and your teammates have made Faustian bargains, tampered with the tides of fate, and filled the chaos bag with curses, this card is super good to help you clean up the mess. With the help of Jacqueline, Olive McBride, and the greatest statue, you can cast your doubts on a huge amount of the bag. At that point, succeeding massively at a skill test is secondary to making every subsequent one easier.

It's a shame this isn't level 0; Versatile Wendy with this would be hilarious! — fiatluxia · 68
Wendy can take 1XP Rouge cards. If this were an Asset, it would open up a design where you aim to flood the cahos bag with as many CB tokens as you can to dillute the more annoying tokens.... — LivefromBenefitSt · 1091
I don't know. Even with a heavy cursed bag, spend exp to maybe turn a curse in a minibless in just one test seems mediocre. — Venti · 1
I think this could have read "turn the modifier into 0" and this card would serve the exact same role, making sure you don't have to be at +20 to succeed with a test despite curses. — Zerogrim · 296
The +1 is a nice touch for oversuccess builds. — StyxTBeuford · 13052
This could be pretty good for a curse-based Amanda Sharpe. Get all your stats up to 3s and make the curses work for you for a full turn. — OrionJA · 1

Quick Study

Quick Study

Quick study is a natural upgrade if you have Dr. William T. Maleson in your deck as Trish. Dropping a clue with an aloof enemy means an easier investigate but you still get two clues. Dropping one on an empty square means you can use any number of fast cards to get the clue and evade.

When you have a high willpower investigator, this one seems quite easy to get. Unless of course you draw tentacles like I just did, causing the doom to go from 4 right up to 8, ending the game. :( Better save this cultist until last.

Or bash his head in! Creep. — MrGoldbee · 1495
It's fine to have a chit-chat with this guy as a mystic. But you should bring some protection from auto fail with you, like "Premonition" or "Grotesque Statue". — Susumu · 382
