Spiritual Echo

Spiritual Echo

This seems like yet another silly card for Luke Robinson. It's just one other tool that gives him absolute control over as much of the board as possible. Use his Gate Box to go away to his happy place, attach the Spiritual Echo to a location that you cannot (or may not want to) enter to eventually scoop up that last clue, deal with a nasty enemy, or whatever else his toolbox is capable of handling, bounce Spiritual Echo back to the hand to use again later on another nasty location.

A Glimmer of Hope

A Glimmer of Hope

This is the first Myriad card that can be upgraded from a level 0 version. "Ashcan" Pete with Down the Rabbit Hole loves this! Got me wondering for a while due to Myriad rules, but I do believe the xp discount is legit.

I wrote a review regarding level 1-5 myriad cards on the DtRH site, and my conclusion (which was agreed on by SGPrometheus and CombStranger) was, that you pay the 1 extra XP for the first card, but then can add the other two copies for free. Now in this case, I would say, you get the discount for the first copy, and then the other two cards also for free. But technically, if you want to use the discount on AGoH (0), you should choose it as the second card, you upgrade. Because, the second can be upgraded for free anyway, but would count as second card, you upgrade, if you would choose to upgrade AGoH first. So the option to dicount a second card would be lost. — Susumu · 382
Interesting take on the importance on choosing AGoH as your second discound from DtRH! I would have never though by myself that an upgrade for free -in the case of a myriad- is still an upgrade. — Ramun · 756
Yeah, but that's just theoretically. Like if you have 2 times "Arcane Research" and want to upgrade "Eldritch Inspiration" from 0 to 1 and another spell by 2+ levels, you of course choose the other spell as the one you upgrade first, because if you would insist on upgrading EI first, RAW you would just save 1 XP, instead of 2. — Susumu · 382
I hope this site does intricate upgrades like this correctly, I've had strange XP calculations with Down the Rabbit Hole and Arcane Research in the past. — AlderSign · 423
I would not fully trust this site on spending XP. It normally assumes, you upgrade in the most beneficial way. And it kind of has, because you have to add cards and remove cards in single steps, not simultainiously add and remove a card, like you in reallity do. But it does have some bugs as well. Red Clock (2) cost 4 XP, Red Clock (5) cost 10 XP, when you buy them at once. But, if you upgrade (2) to (5), you only pay 3 XP for the upgrade in ArkhamDB. I think, there were other bugs as well. — Susumu · 382

It is unclear if the clues on Francis Morgan, when controlled, are part of the investigator's controlled clues. Can the investigator use them to do a Bizarre Diagnosis ? Are they droped at the location when the investigator resigns ?

Monterey Jack

Monterey Jack

Looking forward to see more Edge of the Earth Investigators Parallels. Because of thier strange Deckbuilding Options its nice to even use the Backside as an alternative. Don't forget you can mix an match Front/Backside of Parallel Investigators.

I think his parallel backside is better then his normal backside version, which allows him a bigger pool for his 5 . While Seeker Cards are generally known for being overpowered, he can still get a lot of good researched cards like Ancient Stone, Dial of Ancients, Forbidden Tome or Dream Diary and good Relics like Segment of Onyx for Pendant of the Queen.

His 1 which nets him normally a lot of Horror, can be countered from the Profane Idol or Cherished Keepsake. But you definitly need Relic Hunter to carry that many Accessories. It might be a good idea to take Dr. Elli Horowitz and/or Occult Reliquary aswell.

Library Pass

Library Pass

I think even with the interpretation that the library eats your resources if you don't return a book (which I agree with), this card seems extremely powerful. As soon as you add the Necronomicon, you can sort of break a deck with no combo necessary.

  1. Play the Necronomicon, use all of its secrets, then put it in the bottom of your deck.
  2. Draw through your deck as quickly as possible.
  3. With your deck empty, play the Necronomicon to your Library again. Use the secrets. Put it on the bottom of your deck, where it will be the only card.
  4. Draw the Necronomicon on your next draw phase.
  5. Repeat.

You never need to recycle your deck, just keep getting a free Necronomicon every turn. No more weaknesses. Klaatu berata nehcoughcoughcough

Pretty sure much like you cant shuffle a card into an empty deck you probably cant put a card on the "bottom" of an empty deck — Spamamdorf · 5
Take a look at the scroll of secrets — Tharzax · 1
Regarding putting a card on the bottom of an empty deck, we have this ruling related to Wendy's Amulet. A: If your deck is empty, and Wendy’s Amulet would have you place an event “on the bottom of your deck,” that event becomes your new deck. (Rules Forum Answer, June 2024) — gByakko · 105
