To define how good this card can be. Take note of Favor of the Sun. You can trigger Favor of the Sun after you've seen the first bless token in your draw and thus guarantee Blessing of Isis triggers right there. It's a strong combo, but I'm not sure Blessing of Isis is worth it by itself.

The probability to see two bless tokens goes from neglible at 2-3 tokens in the bag, to nearly 20-30% at the maximum 10 tokens, with a Mary doing her very best to fill the bag with goodness, and/or other characters helping out somehow, those odds can actually be rather good and consistent, netting perhaps 3-5 extra triggers. The trick then is to take characters who've got great abilities, Leo Anderson, Nathaniel Cho and Sister Mary herself all like this effect.

As a last method to support this card, there's seal mechanics. When you've got a Chthonian Stone, the Day of Reckoning weakness, Seal of the Seventh Sign and other mechanics to block out other tokens, this in turn enhances your chances at seeing back to back tokens, this is actually a reciprocal synergy so a large group playing into this theme together can set up games where a heap of negative tokens is locked out entirely and blesses are more then half the bag.

I dont think Blessing of Isis is a particularly excellent card, for the simple reason that it relies on setup and randomness, but it's fun and can be extremely powerful in that niche window when you're consistently seeing those lucky draws. At least once you've set up, the that trigger Blessing of Isis do go back into the bag when triggered, so Blessing of Isis is a bit of a "self refueling engine".

Very surprised this card hasn't been reviewed.

Is this the best investigator signature card in the game? I don't know but its definitely up there.

You get to (3 times):

1) Move to any revealed location for free, if you let the game knock you out at the end of your turn.

2) Cancel/Dodge Enemy Encounter cards if you can Scrying, which should be a staple in your deck.

3) Auto Evade any amount of enemies, engaged with you.

4) Gather clues/deal damage/gather resources/help allies/create walls/move with Shortcut/and gather draw/resources in complete safety, using an event card.

5) Set up your assets mid-game without fear of reprisal.

That's a lot of value and flexibility for a signature care, add on IT STARTS IN PLAY. Some of the amazing signature cards may never come up in a scenario thus making them worthless, but this will always get value.

Finally if you can add Enraptured or Premonition + Recharge for even more value.

Sure It's no Duke or Family Inheritance nor is it Bury Them Deep, Dark Insight or Mystifying Song, but it's pretty goddamn close.

I vastly prefer this version to the original - the change is subtle, but impactful. This enemy is primarily an action sink, so having it be perfectly symmetrical in Fight/Evade values while also having all the keywords in the world PLUS the ability to Retaliate while exhausted made it just slightly too annoying to tackle, especially considering how omnipresent it is. This version has evolving Fight/Evade values, and it's not able to bite back anymore when it is being hit while down, so the annoyance is slightly mitigated. Also, putting Damage on it is now a more viable strategy, simply because it's now the more efficient way to get rid of it.

I find it odd that this card doesn't have a review after so long, so let's change that.

Honestly, it feels like a very underwhelming signature card. Essentially it lets you deal up to 4 damage in a turn, by spending every action to evade an enemy. This feels awful. You could combo it with Cunning Distraction but why?

Ultimately if you want to do damage you will tech into Ornate Bow, so perhaps you could use this to tide you over? but then again this is, unless I'm misreading, 3 actions for MAX +3 damage IF you hit all the checks.

So how is this card decent? The its ability to handle multiple 1hp enemies, or two 2hp enemies, then it's 3 actions to kill 2 or more, which feels alright.

I find the situation in which this card can do its job, deal with multiple 1hp enemies, is slim but it can happen. If you play Rita and focus on dodging enemies throughout the game, chipping away with 1 damage from her ability, you can clean them up in one big turn.

Important note It readies all enemies and makes it terrible to exhaust them, so if you don't kill something get ready for a smack.

Read the full card before you get an opinion. Because you don’t have to use that ability if the enemy attacked you last turn. That hunter made a huge mistake coming to you, and now you’re going to bash its head in. Consider it at a cheaper, more specialized machete that pairs especially well with your power and level zero guard dog.
