This is the best card ever printed. Every guardian who has ever run Prepared for the Worst on Stick to the Plan should immediately understand the significance of a side deck that can be stacked with weapons.

In a normal deck, you would hard mulligan for a weapon and forgo most economy cards, but with Underworld Market you can safely mulligan however you want. Let's say you choose to run 6 illicit weapons in a rogue deck, which could include any of (Chicago Typewriter, Beretta M1918 , Colt Vest Pocket, .41 Derringer, Switchblade, etc.). If you put all of them into your market deck and 0 into your main deck, the odds that you do not see a weapon in the first two turns are:

(4/10)x(3/9)x(2/8)x(1/7)x100% = 0.48%

In other words, without focusing on mulliganing at all you can reliably draw a weapon within the first two turns 99.5% of the time. Going a step further, if you choose to make 100% of your illicit deck cards weapons, you can guarantee a weapon draw in your opening hand.

Separately, combo decks that might work off of cards like Fence or Pickpocketing can now reliably be drawn within the first five turns of the game. This is incredible given that the Rogue class struggles a lot with card draw. Effectively you can run a deck that does not have to worry about its starting hand and can now solely mulligan for economy cards like Faustian Bargain, 21 or Bust, or...whatever the other Rogue cards are.

All of this is nice, but what takes this card from nice to incredible is the fact that both abilities on this card are reaction triggers, meaning that you do not have two reveal the top cards of your illicit deck if you don't want to. Let's say you know what the top two cards are and don't want to reveal them since it would change the order of cards in the illicit deck, well, since this is a reaction trigger, you can simply choose not to.

All in all, this card means that you can effectively guarantee that your primary card type is drawn (weapon, utility, Colt Vest Pocket, etc), while simultaneously allowing you to stack your deck in favor of important cards.

Hola, me parece potente la carta pero tengo 2 consultas sobre la llave de mecanico: 1 ¿puedo usar la accion de combatir despues de agotarla? 2 ¿que significa "COMBATIR: Usa esta capacidad únicamente contra un Enemigo que te haya atacado desde el final de tu último turno"?, ¿es decir que puedo COMBATIR con la llave recién en la siguiente fase de investigadores después de que un enemigo me haya atacado??? Entiendo que al final del turno implicaria recibir un ataque en la fase de enemigos, mantenimiento y mitos, para que pueda combatir con la llave en mi siguiente turno. Por favor si me aclaran algunos escenarios de uso de esta accion. Gracias

The card has been deemed (one of ) the worst card(s) in the game. I do feel why - using so many actions and resources to recharge spells is very poor and there are so many better ways to put extra charges on your asset.

With that being said, I have a feeling we're missing a good interaction here. Maybe due to the fact, cards are pretty old - Daisy can take it to poor endless charges into Archaic Glyphs, particularly the Guiding Stones version. Since it;s a free action, she can produce endless charges at ease. While it might've been a minor thing in the past - for 2p there hasn't been that many multi-clue locations, thing change a bit in the recent campaign as Antarctica contains a lot of 2p and more clue locations. Granted, they sort of slow down towards the end of the campaign, but even then a free deduction each turn feels quite nice. Not sure what the community says?

Have you ever wanted to trivialize a few high-shroud locations? Look no further! Just drop a few clues for some cute effects, then pick them right back up with Research Notes! Got two on the table? Even better, pick up twice as many as you dropped! See a high shroud location? Drop the clues in a easy-to-reach location, bend over a couple of times to clean up your mess, then waltz over to the enemy lockbox and just pretend that you had the key!

Want to also ruin the entire experience and just win A LOT, while you're at it? Try including Knowledge is power!
Just ignore spending that evidence, and go straight to the "pick up clues" part. The best part? You don't even need to play this then, you can keep both of your magnifying glasses in your hands for those additional clues!
(This works the same way the interaction between Old Book of Lore and Knowledge is power which was ruled by Alex Werner to ignore the "spend 1 secret" cost to play the card immediately - this hopefully gets changed in the near future)

First off, I can't believe nobody has written a review for an investigator signature card after 4 years after his release, so I suppose I'll give it a shot (heh). Second, Finn is a strange investigator. This signature card is a cherry on top of a weirdness cake for him.

With this gun, Finn is able to shoot eldritch beings 3 times at 5 . You always get the bonus +2 score, and +1 damage if the enemy is not engaged with you (i.e. evaded). It's fast, costs 2 resources, and is illicit.

Finn's gun can be closely compared to the .25 Automatic from the Innsmouth Conspiracy, which costs 2 additional resources, only gets the damage if the enemy is exhausted, and provides 1 additional ammo. Playing Finn, both of these weapons feel very similar in playstyle, since you're able to evade for a bonus action, you pretty much always get the +2 and +1 damage.

When searching your deck with Smuggled Goods, you are almost never searching for Finn's Trusty .38, but rather something like Pickpocketing, Lockpicks, Liquid Courage, or really any other illicit card. But when you do hit Finn's Trusty .38, you can say "Hey, I just found a Manual Dexterity!" That's often what I find happens to this card. It just isn't used, and is usually pitched for its skill icons.

Fighting at 5 is alright, but you'd really want higher numbers if your teammates are going to let you take shots at monsters engaged with them. I can see where this card can become useful (True solo, or if you've got boosting cards), but Finn's pretty much made for clue-getting, so this seems like a last resort. He can dip into seeker cards, he's got base 4 , he has lockpicks on-class, and the man's even picks up clues for Cthulhu's sake!

So, in summary, this gun seems like a wasted draw most of the time. Sure, it can be used in a pinch, but Finn was made to evade, get clues, and run away. You really want some good support for this card, like Sharpshooter or Hard Knocks (although "good" is a debatable word choice to use for this support). I'd say in most scenarios, you're better off leaving this one at home.
