Arcane Studies

It's nice that it doesn't cost resources (so you'll have more left to pump stats) and icons are decent but Mystics aren't flush with cash and have better uses for EXP. It'd need to cost one less EXP or be permanent free like Streetwise(4) to be worth considering.

Law of 'Ygiroth

Having arkham player cards in Polish, English and Italian it is really fun dealing with these encounter cards. I purposely take 1 italian and 1 polish copy of, let's say, Magnifying Glass (Lente di Ingradimento) and have some fun :D

One-Two Punch

Great card! Have a question on it though (wasn't sure where exactly I should ask)...

On the second fight (on both the base and upgraded cards), can you add another card with the bold FIGHT option, like "Monster Slayer"?

There are active communities to ask questions like that on Board Game Geek and Discord. But to still answer your question: no. The second fight is still part of the play action, which has to finish, before you could initiate another one. What you could do is commit a "Vicious Blow" to it, even on the automatically successful first fight on the upgraded card. — Susumu · 362
I think this is an alright place to ask as other people can then find the answer! Questions asked on Discord are rarely helpful when looking for an answer fast while playing and trying not to disrupt the flow of the game too much. — Valentin1331 · 67549
I gave them an answer after fifteen hours. Can't speek for Discord, but on BGG you normally get a reply much faster than that. — Susumu · 362
Protective Gear

The card is not so situational as it seems. Really what your paying for is 3/3 soak body slot. It can cancel a specific Type of treachery that you have to draw, but it does that at a cost of 1/1. The treachery will have a worse effect but not likely twice as bad as 1 damage and 1 horror. Just use it if you want the armor and the other part is a solid upside that certainly doesn't need to happen for you to be happy.

Don't underestimate the gear on Mark Harrigan. Looks really good on him ;) — AlderSign · 236
Heed the Dream

2 xp card for a fast Old Book of Lore use/Eureka effect for each player, but you can't always control when it happens because it's a dilemma. That sounds expensive, but possibly justifiable.

But, you also get all of the weaknesses you don't choose back for free! And you remove all of the non-weakness cards (which you put in your deck, so you probably want them, with the possible exception of a few signature cards if you don't build your deck to use them) from the game instead of discarding. And the card is Survivor, which is the class who can recur things.

The deck-thinning means you probably don't want to recur it, so it's a single-use event for 2 xp, with drawbacks.
