Fame

On its face, this card is inefficient at gathering resources: you have to play it, then use it four times to empty it out. Subtracting the initial investment of one resource, you spent five actions to net seven resources. It's like you played Emergency Cache and then took four Gain Resource actions; most rogue decks have better ways to gain money.

What you need for this to be good is some kind of strong synergy. In the legacy cardpool, this could mean being Alessandra Zorzi, and using this to launder her free Parley actions into money, or it could be used to help out Haste and/or Captivating Performance for having the requisite number of same/different actions. In the future, perhaps there will be a Renown archetype that this can fit into; just getting one additional Renown counter on this wouldn't necessarily be that exciting, but maybe there'll be some sort of payoff card that requires you to have enough renown to function. We'll see!

Spiritual Echo

Seems incredibly flexible [edit: especially now it's Fast]. You could slap one down on a location to investigate it later, double-tap a four-health enemy with Shrivelling for a single action or use it with an investigation spell (maybe Sixth Sense(4) due to the lack of charges) to basically give yourself an extra investigate every turn.

It returns to hand? No free action. — MrGoldbee · 1559
And you have also pay a charge if needed for the spell you cast... — Tharzax · 1
Yes it returns to hand but the taboo makes it Fast so you can play it every turn if you have the resource to spare. Chargeless spells are obviously the best use case but sometimes you want to burn through charges quickly (e.g. repeatedly hitting a boss with an attack spell). — Cthomas · 4
Taboo wasn't in preview. Yeah, now it's OK. — MrGoldbee · 1559
At its worst its like sign magick without taking a slot but you can use the same spell again! Only real disadvatage i see; if you tried to get the last clue from VP location with this and fail you need to backtrack and lose time — Django · 5244
Right Under Their Noses

An important note for new players: you can only play this after you "successfully evade". Effects that "automatically evade" an enemy like Polished Cane, Breaking and Entering, or Restrained do not involve a test on the evade effect, so you did not succeed by anything and cannot play this.

I'm very confused about this rule. Skill test is to obtain one of two outcomes: success or failure. Automatic evade“ hasn't undergone skill test, because it inherently contain the meaning of success. However, the rules do not consider "automatic evade" as a ”successful evade“. This contradicts common sense. — du3223540 · 1
Nah, because there is no skill test to succeed or fail at. It's simply an effect that happens, therefore it's not an (un)successful evade. They could have used two different words for the evade effect and the evade action though... — AlderSign · 469
I'm from the camp that believes they should just change "automatic evasion" to "exhaust that enemy" — HeroesOfTomorrow · 93
Gift of Nodens

If I use Gift of Nodens to commit a skill card from the discard pile, and then resolve Grisly Totem effect, but the skill test ends up failing:

Does the skill card return to my hand, or is it placed at the bottom of the deck?

I believe it goes to the bottom of your deck, because Grizly totem triggers at point 'ST.6 Determine success/failure of skill test', then happens 'after skill test resolved'(I think this happens at/after 'ST.8 Skill test ends'). Even if they both would trigger at same stage, according to rules '(IF)... abilities trigger in between any "when..." abilities and any "after..." abilities with the same triggering condition.', so Grizly totem would trigger earlier and anyway skill should be placed at the bottom of your deck — Twinkle_Toes · 1
I agree and in addition even when the skill is in your hand the effect of the gift can resolve, since you can identify the committed skill. I would compare it with the faq Joe the upgraded backstab/cheap shot — Tharzax · 1
Out the Door

Such a great easy money card. It is far less risky than "watch this!", almost better in all points than "sneak by" (chapter 1). That free icon here makes it usable for all tests and you may spend the money in some boost during the test to avoir lose anything. Looks like it's a staple in almost any deck which can use it. I would not be surprised if it gets tabooed...

Probably the best new card coming from Andre's pack, which was otherwise abysmal — HeroesOfTomorrow · 93
