Vicious Blow is probably the most used card in this game, tied with Deduction, and their omnipresence in deckbuilding hasn't decreased since the core game came out.

Long Shot arrives much later in the game and looks very similar, with just a few exceptions:

• Cons:
  • No icons
• Pros:
  • Can be committed to evasion tests
  • Can be committed to a test at a connecting location
  • No icon means it can be committed to non- attacks like Mystic Spells, or Rogue Tricks. (Thanks @dscarpac for pointing it out in the comment)
• Other:
  • Is in a different class.
  • Tommy Muldoon, William Yorick and Amanda Sharpe can take both.

At this state of the game, anyone using a full collection should not experience difficulties passing tests anymore in Easy/Standard or even Hard mode if they optimise their decks slightly, so the downside of the missing icon seems less important than the flexibility offered by Long Shot.

So, will it be a new staple for any fighty ? Let's find out when users start publishing decks!
