First Aid

It's possible that II Jenny Barnes has finally made this card halfway decent. Play it out as a reaction, costs 1, and can dump it for 2 resources as a fast action when supplies are gone. Now you've gone down to 2 actions for 2 heals and 1 resource. (Noted below you'll want to trigger after two uses so the card won't discard itself).

Keep in mind that First Aid does discard itself once it runs out of supplies, so not quite 3 damage but still worth picking up! — MaleficMarby · 31
Good point, thanks for the catch! Updating review. — Time4Tiddy · 249
Nautical Charts

How does this card work with Scavenging? If I play it from my hand by discarding instead of exhausting, does the discard happen before I make the skill test and perform the action? And because it's in my discard pile, would I then be able to get it back with scavenging if I succeed by two or more?

Yep, costs are paid before resolving effects. — AlderSign · 416
Blessed Blade

Have been playing this card with a blessed || Zoey Samaras to great effect. This card can reliably allow you to trigger Zoey's investigator ability every round for 5 damage in two actions - add 2 bless, do your damage to add a 3rd, pull all 3 out to do a +1 damage on the second swing. Barring any story monsters or massive, generally 5 will take anything off the board and leave Zoey her third action to do something else. While this is a heavy early xp investment, not needing ammo and only costing 3 to put into play is huge. Depending on how you build her, Down the Rabbit Hole could help defray. Zoey has plenty of options for upgraded cards if you go that route.

Blessed [Zoey Samaras](/card/90059) with [Ancestral Token](/card/10019) is quite good using this as her main weapon, just make sure you can get bonus when needed, via [Enchant Weapon](/card/07261) or a handful of [Vicious Blow](/card/01025) and [Long Shot](/card/10116). You get this, token, and after meeting just *one* beefy enemy with 4-5 health, or few small ones, your chaos bag is full of blesses to the max. Fighting Zoey fills up to 8 blesses a turn: 5 max from Token, 2 blades, 1 from her ability, and the best part is that *she doesn't burn them with attacks* thanks to the neat function of this blade. It makes just swinging the blade around comfortable, as you know your 10 blesses got your back and won't go away, and if you or teammates spend them on other tests? No worries, 3-8 blesses a turn is free, doesn't take any focus from what Zoey always does (killing everything) keeps bad tokens at bay, powers up [The Key of Solomon](/card/10104) or other blessed decks engines infinitely. "Who are we?" "The necessary evil?" "Why are we necessary?" "To purge the world of evil worse than man." "And why are we God's chosen few, ordained to undertake this unholy task?" "Because no one else will." "AND BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING FUN. AAAAHAHAHAMEN!" — Gapaot · 1
"Viola" Case

Clarification request rather than review...Can this be added to the "Market Deck" when you have purchased Underworld Market for 6xp (not 8xp as shown on this site (2xp, exceptional +2xp)). The deckbuilder doesn't allow this due to deckbuilding rules not being observed, but I can't see anything that requires it to be in the main deck, or am I just hopeful!

Sure, same with Finn Edwards's signature. — AlderSign · 416

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.

Don't forget "Let God Sort Them Out" (and Pelt Shipment with Versatile, lol). — AlderSign · 416
