This weakness basically reads...
-Discard an Asset you control. For one round you get -1 willpower. -On the next round, discard occult scraps and play an asset for -1 resource cost.
It's a unique weakness that can actually be helpful in some circumstances. If you have a fully tapped spell, this is a way to clear it. Coupled with showmanship, you can possibly have a super turn on your next turn.
Consider these synergies:
Oh yeah, you could also click it for supplies, I guess.
In short, I think there's a Lily Chen deck here.
Played this in Undimensioned and Unseen 2P today, did absolute work corralling the Broods where we wanted them and less clunky than managing them from the Whately Ruins.
Highly recommended for that scenario!
Amazing for Devil Reef in the Innsmouth cycle - especially on solo. So much ground to cover and if you can get this out a couple of times (even Painting It with Sefina Rousseau), boat-hopping becomes a little easier.
One of the limiting factors of this card is that many investigators already fill all or most of their slots. So let's make a list of all slotless items. Well, ones that aren't investigator specific or from campaigns. Bandages, Handcuffs, Hiking Boots, Kerosene, Liquid Courage, Mk1 Grenades, Painkillers, Schoffner's Catalogue, Segment of Onyx, Smoking Pipe, Strange Solution, Tennessee Sour Mash, The Councils Coffer, Skeleton Key, Thermos, Track Shoes,
Special shout out to Dexter Drake's Occult Scraps, which appears playable but is a -1 for the rest of the game for them, and Charon's Obol, which is technically an item but will never be in your hand.
