Yorick readied his shovel. His coat was in tatters, his beloved teddy bear ripped into shreds before his eyes... And the unquiet dead of prehistory had begun to surround him. It wouldn’t be a fun fight, even if he wasn’t bleeding internally.

“Why don’t you take on a real man?” yelled the pugilist from two blocks and 1000 years away.

The monsters turned...and charged. The gravedigger smiled faintly at the sound of skulls hitting the pavement.

Definitely a good card for Nathaniel to take, but I could see uses for the card in other investigators. The engage part means you can attack enemies on another investigator without accidentally hitting them, and you can drag Aloof enemies to you. Fast means you can play it on another investigator's turn, so you don't have to go first just to take care of a monster engaged with them. Moving the enemy means you don't have to spend your actions to get to the enemy's location. Plus, if your deck has cards like Evidence or Grete Wagner (or if you're Roland), you can reposition an enemy onto a location with an otherwise hard-to-get clue.

Not a must-have card for every character, but in larger player counts (where monsters are more likely to show up and there's more non-fighting allies you might want to protect), in campaigns with more Aloof enemies (hello, Whippoorwills), or if you have reasons to want enemies in specific locations, it's probably worth checking out.

Do we think playing this card would provoke an attack of opportunity? I'm thinking yes since it's an action that counts as an Engage (as well as a Fight) and Engage actions do provoke and thus playing the multi-type card does get you hit by enemies already engaged with you. That is also counts as an Fight action doesn't save you.

Less a review, and more of a note/question.

Similar to Deciphered Reality, It's worth noting that this card doesn't have the world "instead" or "but" on it. This means that the latter half of the effect is not a replacement effect, but an additional effect. Is that accurate? I believe that means that this allows you to Engage and Fight something that's already at your location. After resolving that, you could then choose an enemy up to 2 locations away, move it to your location, engage it, and attack it.

Is that accurate? If so, this becomes even better than it appears at a glance, giving you an opportunity for two separate engages and attacks, or two attacks at the same target. This adds a lot of flexibility as a fast action in exchange for the cost - especially since it means Nathaniel Cho will potentially deal up to 3 damage with it.

If that changes on release or a ruling clarifies things, it's likely still a reasonable card. However, there might be even more power in it than one expects at a glance.

Edit: The recent 2021-06-28 FAQ to Seeking Answers and the comment which said, "some players (rightfully) interpreted it to discover 3 clues in total", leads me to suspect this even further. The same applies for Righteous Hunt - none of the wording explicitly indicate you engage the specified enemy "instead" of the standard enemy you'd engage, or indicate that you can select the distant enemy as a valid target for the standard Engage action. This definitely seems like a case where the intent is clear, but a strict reading of the rules leaves some very odd gaps, and it only hasn't become an issue because only the three cards and Riot Whistle would really interact with it.

In Investigation Phase, Fast Engage gives you equivalent of redirection of enemy draw from clue finders, allowing them to go first anyway. Though more expensive than options like "Let me handle this!", Martyr's Vambrace, "Get behind me!", it has bigger location coverage.

Using it in window in Enemy Phase after Hunter enemy moves but before it attacks adds one more location away coverage (and can pull the enemy out of your clue finders that is about to get hit) if you could one-shot it. Otherwise you will get hit, which in that case you'd rather use it in Investigation Phase so you can perform follow up hits with weapons that have damage and bonus.

Since the card has no damage and accuracy bonus, commits and additional damage (e.g. Vicious Blow, Long Shot, Michael Leigh, ...) are handy to make a play in weird phases.

Heya y'all, question for the rules police and greater community:

How does this interact with Lily Chen using her Agility Discipline, gaining 3 Fight or Evade actions?

Because this is Fast, would it be usable? Not usable with the burst Discipline? Could you throw it in there, in between the 3 Fight or Evade actions, and it not count due to fast? On the normal version this is not an issue as it's just a Fight action with benefits but this version is Fast.

Thank you in advance for any clarification or help.
