The Necronomicon

Nice combo with Minh Thi Phan :

1) put in play Scavenging (2) and Glyphs (+1 clue / 2 pts of success)

2) investigate with Glyphs, commit The Necronomicon

3) succeed by a wide margin (you are investigating with a skill value of 10+ ...)

4) use Scavenging (2) to either take The Necronomicon back in your hand or play it for 3.

Of course it's a 10 XP combo and each test can be failed but it's a fun way to use 5 slots in a deck with cards that can be useful outside of this combo.

Make that at least 15. You can not scavenge on something commited in the same test. Check the faq entry on Scavenging. You would use it on another copy commited in the previous test. — Skeith · 2450 5/13/20

Probably wouldn't be too hard to trigger the card draw from 2xDrawing Thin, Grisly Totem, and Analytical Mind with 5 book icons. — Zinjanthropus · 231 6/9/20

Don't forget about Act of Desperation, which allows you to get a +1 damage attack with +3 combat before commits, and gives you enough resources to replay the Nomnomnomicon next time you use Scavenging — Zinjanthropus · 231 8/3/20

With Joe Diamond you can do even better with Well-Prepared. Investigate with Guiding Stones and use Well-Prepared on Necro. — gendrkheinz · 3 5/6/21

The Tattered Cloak

Looks like a card you would want to have with a desperate-deck. Getting you just that little bit faster to your sanity threshold while also giving you a buff as long as you keep it. You get this in scenario 3 after defeating the Possessed Oathspeaker, for everyone who might be wondering as I had :D

Tattered Cloak is also nice for important buffs in classes that don't have many options. For example Ursula would like an agility buff when using the Bow but Seekers don't have any static boosts AFAIK. I have used Crystalline Elder Sign with her before. Or Survivors getting a Combat boost (until Jessica Hyde showed up). You could play this with Pete with Peter S (L2) and the Teddy Bear and be at a 6/4/5/5. The Desperate Skills plan works but I didn't really enjoy playing the game when I went that route. — The Lynx · 999 4/23/20

Una de mis cartas de campaña favoritas. La utilice con Agnes Baker en un build de horror, con "cuchillo de carnicero" te ayuda a estar un paso mas cerca de tener 3 o menos de cordura y una vez estas en ese punto te da un +1 a las 3 habilidades que Agnes necesita para brillar. Con hechizos de busqueda o ataque +1 a voluntad, nunca sobra. Con "pelear o huir" potenciando tus ataques aprovechando tu cordura baja +1 de fuerza de "el manto" y el +2 de el cuchillo, yo resolvi tiradas estando 10 contra 4 en fuerza, indecente. Y con Pete Silvester dandonos +1 de voluntad y +1 de agilidad, nos vamos a 5 con "el manto", entonces ahora ademas de ser increibles con magia y bestias en el combate, tambien somos maquinas de evitar, indecente, profano, hermoso y sensual manto. — manucasali · 51 4/23/22

Easy Mark

This can be slighly better than Emergency Cache (0) for Rogue. You got 1 more card to draw from your deck. Then Easy Mark (1) have 1 icon for Agilility and Intellect.

In summary

Emergency Cache 3 resources. 0 draw
Easy Mark (1) ............. 2 resources. 1 draw (+50% chance to draw it. Because there's 3 card in your deck)

It's myraid card you got 3 cost for 1 Exp.

This's far more effecient than Emergency Cache (2) or Emergency Cache (3).
