Discipline

I want to say that this card helps you progress and win scenarios in a way many others do not: It effectively boosts any skill directly.

What do I mean by that? Imagine having your Fingerprint Kit or Grim Memoir and 2x Magnifying Glass. But suddenly, your location has an important (very beneficial or even mandatory) test that is not an investigation. Great, the usual +4 you enjoy 90% of the time when using that skill are completely gone now.

Or you are "Ashcan" Pete with Duke, Boxing Gloves on his paws, clearing the path for you. Then, a Locked Door cock blocks your way and you see yourself standing against that with a wimpy 2 (or 3 , for that matter).

See, being able to approach any test the scenario throws at you* with at least 7 skill value (Lily's starts at 2) is a huge advantage that can cost other investigators so many actions, burning their skill cards and fighting the scenario's odds head to head.

There is a reason skill cards with 3 and more wild icons are good. I also usually have the same troubles when a fighter need to break a door or interrogate someone but couldn't use his weapon. — Tharzax · 2
The +5 to a skill test can help you win children of blood #3. Unless they count as separate skill tests. — MrGoldbee · 1599
Crystallizer of Dreams

Now with Arkham Horror Chapter 2 core box released, and especially its core campaign reward card "collector"(allowing you to add one relic or charm asset of any class level 0-3), this card seems valuable to Joe Diamond from the 1st edition as the pick for collector.

Why? this version of Joe Diamond has a 11-card side hunch deck and 10 out of those 11 cards are events! And each turn if you play one of those top-deck from hunch side deck you can add it under Crystallizer of Dreams, which in most cases is a win-win each and every turn.

How to get Crystallizer of Dreams out of your whole deck? Well Joe has the level 5 No Stone Unturned inside his hunch deck right? which tutors his entire deck for this relic.

Finished chapter 2 core set campaign and I for one am gonna use collector and try this combo for the next campaign "children of blood", and see how it goes.

You can do that in Chapter 1 with Versatile. — AlderSign · 478
Heirloom of Hyperborea

Heirloom of Hyperborea may look like a standard asset with draw a card when you do a specific action. However, it differs in one significant way: It does not exhaust.

When first printed there weren’t that many good spell cards, so the lack of exhaust didn’t really matter. Now there are many good spells so the limiting factor for normal Agnes is instead the lack of resources to be able to play them. Parallel Agnes can get around that limitation and is able to spam event spells, constantly drawing new cards to replace the cards just played.

There is a very good reason why all other similar cards exhaust and this is a relic from the time when they hadn’t realized that.

The best part is still that her weakness is also a spell <3 — AlderSign · 478
The heirloom is deceptively powerful because Agnes, when the game first came out, had to make due with the limited cardpool and the fact she usually run a mixed deck, being a MYSTIC/Survivor. But now that there are so many spell asset and events? Her draw power is insane, perhaps one of the strongest among Mystics. — HeroesOfTomorrow · 117
Guided by Faith

Parallel Father Mateo has this as an auto include, as once it's drawn, it just reads "for two resources discover two clues" as you can instantly put in 2 bless, seal one on Mateo release it to get your will to 6 vs the shroud of the location. Doing this puts two blesses in the bag and gives you two clues for a card and two resources, which is absurd.

Pit Viper

这卡的中文翻译特么的是错的

【在蝮蛇攻擊你並對你造成傷害後】

【After Pit Viper deals you damage from its attack】

按照英文来说,根本没有“攻击你”的描述……

所以用森哲夫帮队友吃伤害的话自己也是要中毒的

他奶奶的奸商翻译祸国殃民遗毒万年,MMP打了8年诡镇今天才他妈知道自己一直玩错了,靠

就不能找点靠谱的翻译吗,人都麻了,这样的错误到底还有多少啊??

Ironically, even if the chinese translation didn't correctly translate the text, it DID respect the spirit of the rules. Even if you assign damage to an asset, you STILL get poisoned here. It's super counterintuitive and badly written in english as well. — HeroesOfTomorrow · 117
