Firstly, this is not intended to be an in depth review of the card. I think the other current review of this card does a pretty good job covering when this card is good and when it isn't.
No, my aim is more specific: i think this card shines when used to counter any enemy weakness. Some investigators have nasty enemy weaknesses that can pack a punch or are extremely resilient:
- Watcher from Another Dimension Specially given how Patrice can cycle her deck several times per game.
- Tommy Malloy is a pain to fight but if you run a survivor with Nacho, they can basically delete him from the game.
- Hoods (the card that motivated this post)
- Stubborn Detective Silver Twilight Acolyte (beware the doom though) Your Worst Nightmare (as somebody mentioned) ... sadly doesn't work in the Accursed Follower which makes me very angry.
These are mere examples though. The silver lining is that you can cycle your deck while these remain in play completely harmless. You can (for instance) fend off a Guardian of the Crystallizer from your Trish player and let them carry it around for nefarious purposes. If your Mandy keeps reviving their enemy weaknesses you can pin them on the board so they can do their seeker things even better.
All in all, i think it's a great card to make your deck safer and you shouldn't underestimate it.
