While Practice Makes Perfect has some good uses with combatants, I also wanted to point out that Mandy Thompson can use it to rather ludicrous effect. Using it on an arbitrary investigate can turn it into a single trigger where you can pick two of the most fitting cards to use out of a selection of cards including Deduction/Deduction (2) and Perception. This can turn a single card into both a boost and bonus clues or card draws over multiple tests. It only gets better depending on the secondary class picked - you can also branch into things like Enraptured with mystic access, or Momentum or Three Aces with rogue access.

The ability to improve Practice Makes Perfect from one draw/boost/bonus effect into two draws/boosts/bonus effects is immense, and given the symbols on many of those cards, it means she can throw it on pretty much any investigate action to get a lot of effective resources on top of a notable boost.

What exactly does it mean "which would trigger during the investigation"? Things like Haunted are included? Location effects like "When you discover the last clues at this location: ..." ? Does this card automatically make blank the text on a location?

I'm surprised this hasn't come up yet on this page, but put 2x of this in your Joe Diamond Hunch deck, and you basically added 4xp to your deck, as you will get the effect of playing Preposterous Sketches2 because of Joe's Hunch discount!

This cards makes me instantly think of Inspiring Presence. Inspiring Presence allows you to reset the dog immediately after using it. Inspiring Presence conveniently has both and icons so it can be used for either test.

There's currently 4 investigators that can take advantage of this combo:

• Carolyn Fern
• Diana Stanley
• Jim Culver
• Lola Hayes

Let's imagine you are Joe Diamond, and this is the first card that shows up on your hunch deck during the first turn of the game. You have 5 cards in hand. This card can already be played for a discount of 7, for 2 clues at 3 resources. That's really good.

Card effects often value buying a clue for 1-2 resources - see Scene of the Crime, Intel Report, Connect the Dots, Working a Hunch, etc. Drawn to the Flame is a notable exception but handling the ensuing encounter card is a cost that is often equivalent to 1-2 resources or even more. So, if you can get this down to at minimum 4r, which outside of Joe, is 6 other cards + Extensive Research in hand, then you can feel comfortable playing this knowing that you are paying the average rate for what a clue is worth in money. If you can get it even lower than 4, than you can feel great about playing this.

Notably, Joe can play this for 0r if it is on top of his Hunch Deck and his hand is full with no hand size bonuses.
