Equip Calvin with this and Scavenging (0) + Schoffner's Catalogue and you are now unbeatable!

The fact that this is an Arcane slot and non-unique makes it possible to hold 2 at the same time. If you would lose one, you could easily recycle it before you lose the second. And no need to upgrade to Scavenging (2) for this because this card is Fast!

Schoffner's Catalogue finances it all so that you can make this cycle Dark Horse friendly, and what's best is that it is an Item so also comes back using Scavenging.

Backpack (2) will be your friend to then pull it out before you reach the amount of damages that would put you in the danger zone.

Now bring your Five of Pentacles + Moon Pendant and bring Mysterious Benefactress on a 9-9-9-9 statline journey without any fear of dying.

This card is also good in Lily Chen that wants to fill up her Arcane Slots to use her Dragon Pole and benefits from this being the only Fast Arcane Slot Filler available to her.

This looks like an excellent way for Wendy Adams to deal with Abandoned and Alone! You get to cancel all 2 horrors if you are at sanity - 2 or sanity - 1. Then Scavenging can repeat the protection as well. Despite being "talisman", it is not contested with Wendy's Amulet, luckily.

It also gives Wendy a rare class for Event Synergy : Cheat the System or Call for Backup. (And also Strength in Numbers, but it is not Event.)

Great card for the upcoming Hank. Since he gets "defeated" and becomes resolute at 5 damage / horror, you could play this to easily extend his life mid-scenario. Also works with your fellow gators' damage/horror since that can also be assigned to Hank. The talisman then becomes useful again if he's getting close to a true defeat.

Only one thing that bothers me, why the fuck did they had to specify "fast, play during only your turn", as it's already the case for any assets. Not enough words in the textbox ? Just like my comments that actually needs to reach 200 characters.

This card is also a good asset for William Yorick as he can recycle the card in and out of his graveyard into rebirth loops and replay the necklace again after an elder sign or ability to grab it from the discard pile like Resourceful or Scavenging. My group didn't have this when I first played Yorick and will consider it next time!
