This guy is an exp monster.
With In the Thick of It, you can start with Charon's Obol. Then you have The Great Work and 2x Delve Too Deep. Guess what then? You can also run 2x Arcane Research since you likely will run a spell asset heavy deck to swap among them. Now, you get 2+1+2+2=7 guaranteed free exp after every scenario at the cost of 4 trauma. It is a lot of trauma, but man, it is also 7 guaranteed exp. If you want to push this even further, you can run Down the Rabbit Hole for 2 more free exp (I'd be a bit more careful because there are a lot of busted cards you may want to purchase as well, like Black Market, Dayana Esperence, Geas, and etc.)
Doing the math alone makes me so hyped already.
