I've used this card (mostly with Agnes) but I'm not sure about it.

At its best, this card is 2 resources + 4 actions (counting the one to play the card) to heal 3 horrors:

• Even with Akachi Onyele, it's still 2 resources + 5 actions (counting the one to play the card) to heal 4 horrors
• With Marie Lambeau who provides Action advantage for Spells, it's still 2 resources at best because you don't always have the ability to trigger the extra Spell action.

What's more, until now, investigators have other ways to repeatably heal themselves without reducing their action count:

• Of course Fearless is that amazing card, as it can already heal 2 horrors during your game and up to 4 after you update theme (Fearless), while helping you pass your skill tests (the backbone of investigators)
• Peter Sylvestre is available to Agnes Baker, Jim Culver and Marie Lambeau

I'm not convinced about this card. I don't feel like Move actions are the most difficult actions to take in this game. I understand very well the "action compression" it provides, for example if you need two Move actions to get to where you wanna go. But here's the catch:

• You have to pay 3 resources for an otherwise free (at least in terms of resources) action. Considering you can use 1 of your action to get 1 resource, it would require to move 4 locations away to get value out the card
• It does not prevent enemies from making attack of opportunities, so you can't use it as an emergency card
• If you reveal the wrong token, you lose an asset That's too much of wrong sides for my taste :) It's too bad, as the exact same Spell in Arkham Horror the Board Game was probably one of my favorite.

Very situational at least, and until investigators have a way to switch easily cards like Adaptable, it will probably not see much play.

Alyssa Graham is a great card in any kind of deck that can play cards. For 4 resources, which is not that hefty in the game and playable on turn 1, you get a action giving you all the intelligence you need for your next turn.

Without even considering that you can bury that card at the bottom of the encounter deck for a tiny Doom token, it's already good.

But what's more, you actually can bury that encounter card if you don't like it.

Her static boost is of +1 is nothing to sneeze at. Intellect boosts are always good. You want to grab clues in this game, right?

Finally, I think Alyssa really shines in a Marie Lambeau deck. Marie's ability requires that you have a doom token on one of the player cards you control. Alyssa gives you a reliable way to get that token running, from the get go. She gets Marie to a very high 5 , on par with Daisy Walker, thus solo-enabling Marie. Here is a sample (solo) deck: arkhamdb.com

Agnes Baker is one of the most powerful investigators out there and here's why:

• First of all, with her 5 , she can withstand most of the treacheries requiring skill tests the encounter deck throws at her.
• Her other stats are quite low, but the class has so many ways to hande that, that it is not really relevant in the end.

With the solved, she just needs way to mitigate her 3 other low stats. And ways there are in the class card pool, most of them Spells that can be triggered using her strongest stat .

• Her 3 is already quite acceptable, considering you won't be using it much, except to sometimes, in an emergency, evade an enemy if you can't currently kill it or blind it.
• Her 2 may be the most difficult stat to balance, if you're playing solo. If you're playing multiplayer, you probably want to focus Agnes on killing the damn enemies. Back to solo then. Again, cards have so many ways to mitigate that: Drawn to the Flame, Rite of Seeking, maybe use that "Look what I found!", and the neutral cards Flashlight and Perception.
• Her 2 may be the easiest stat to balance, right off the bat with Shrivelling and later on with Shrivelling (3), Shrivelling (5) and Song of the Dead (2). What's more, all those Spells have a strong synergy with Agnes' ability, dealing even more damage to the enemies you're attacking.

Finally:

• The ability of Agnes is very reliable, as lot of things can deal damage to Agnes: treacheries, enemy attacks, even her own Spells. She also has access to ways of mitigating the sanity hits: Fearless and Peter Sylvestre.
• Her modifier is quite good too, for the same exact reason.

With the mulligan rule in this game, grabbing a Spell in your starting hand is not that difficult, and you still have the Arcane Initiate to help you out.

Here is a (solo) sample deck: arkhamdb.com

I play with 4 investigator. Our team love Double or Nothing. Our team love stacking bonuses. When you're doing a test (was done in a real game) with : Defiance + Double or Nothing + 2 Quick Thinking + Deduction (XP) (+ some other buffs) on Rex Murphy You really want to have defiance to decrease the chance of failing to only 1 chaos token. That's not necessarily clever to put all our ressource on one test, but that's fun to discover 8 clues and gain 4 actions in one action.

Moreover, in a 4 investigator team, it may be difficult to finish your deck, since other people migth be interested in the good card of your faction. This card is never a bad pick, since in the worst case, it is a little more than a +1 to any test.

So not the best card ever, but a decent 0XP card. However, it may be difficult in 1 or 2 extension to find a place in our decks for this card, since better cards will probably be published.
