Combines very well with heavy furs.
Overall generally functions as a weaker Lucky. Lucky is a very good card, this is a playable card. This card is very fun which counts for a lot however. I'd love to see an upgraded version of this card that was a little more powerful so I'd want to play it more.

The PI thing pays the bills and all, but Joe really wanted to be a cartographer. Map is a great option for his Hunch deck:
With two in there, pop the first one in any medium/high shroud room- if he's not already in one, Joe can likely find one. He's really quite surprisingly mobile. High-clue 3-shroud rooms are great targets as tactis's review noted; the 3-difficulty Investigate isn't too rough at 6 skill, and the Map puts the room in 0-range for Flashlight & Keyring users.
But save the second one for late game, where it'll shine. A LOT of missions include a "boss" room- and not just literal bosses, but also final-act rooms and/or rooms with a ton of clues & shroud that hold XP. Map helps with both.
(Especially those intricate finales like "Investigate using , then test 7 to put a clue on the God Of Turmoil, then Parlay with against God Of Turmoil's HP to offer him a drink, then put the Lime in the Coconut and drink them both up, then...")
Assuming 12+ turns to complete most missions, and an efficient Hunch deck made of reliably playable cards, he can strategically park the final Map in his Hunch deck until that final encounter with confidence that it'll show up.
Once you've reached that final cell / temple / dimension / era / hill-people basement where they kidnapped your dog(!!!!), this card can effectively read "Your whole party gets +1 to every skill for the rest of the mission." And that ain't shabby.
Feel like your Flashlight(3) isn't magick enough? How about your Fine Clothes? With Winds of Power, you too can feel like a real mystic by adding charges to your assets.
Whats that? You want to know how to use them? Sure, the trick is OH IS THAT A DARK YOUNG OVER THERE? ... ... stomp stomp stomp ... ... SLAM ... car screeching noises
This feels...weak?
Mystic fight actions by default do 2 damage base form, with the exception of sword cane, so this is a 1 action weakness. If we have a few testless damage events like Gaze of Ouraxsh, String of Curses (Self Combo), Sweeping Kick etc. this becomes a none issue. The ease of dealing with this is compounded with the low fight test your doing. Now what if you have only 1 or none of your slots filled? Then this is annoying, but your a mystic so that's highly unlikely. If you don't get this early there's a good chance both your slots are filled anyway and its a 2 fight 2 hp monster.
This is assuming your dealing with it, your fighter will MAUL this card. But let's say ONLY mystics can interact with this, It's still not that big of a deal. Finally, 1 horror? for a mystic? that seems wrong. Mystics eat horror like candy, and if you're Agnes you laugh at this card as it kills itself for almost free.
This only really hurts if your going with the "make every slot an arcane slot" build, which feels VERY underwhelming, and If you were doing that for fun build I'd say the build is gimping you enough as is, just re-roll the weakness.
As is, maybe errata this to do damage instead of horror?
I'm not really sure where to put this but I think there's a transcription error in this card's stats here. It should be 5 fight, and 4 evade, not 4 fight and 5 evade. That isn't really a review tho, so I'll add a comment on the card itself. It's a big beefy enemy with a somewhat annoying effect but if you've got this far then someone in your team should really be able to handle big beefy enemies and it does at least stay dead once you defeat it- which is more than you can say for some campaign finale specific big beefy enemies. So it does have that going for it.
