Good Weather

I'm impressed after my initial plays with this card. It felt very strong in two player & I can only assume it would feel stronger in larger playgroups.

  • +2 to a chosen skill for EACH investigator for a whole turn regardless of location!
  • For 1 resource (and a fast action), that's really good. Especially when compared to similar cards (below).
  • It lasts through the upcoming Mythos phase!
  • At 2xp, lots of off-class survivors can take it. 2xp also buys all 3 copies!
  • Myriad! With 3 copies, you'll be seeing it often and it's easily recurable with Resourceful and especially Shrine of the Moirai.

It looks particularly interesting with agility as with this skill you can evade (obviously), investigate (with rogue events or with Lucius capacity) and fight (rogue events, Dirty fighting, British Bull dog, Ornate Bow, Hatchet, ...). By rogue event I mean events that make you use agility instead of the normal skill or events that make you add to skills (Cheap shot, Breaking and entering, ...). — AlexP · 287
Colt Vest Pocket

This card becomes top tier with Mob Connections especially if you also have Underworld Market. Since you can't normally discard assets on its own unless your slots are filled, this card discards itself. With Rogues, having additional actions isn't that difficult too.

Antediluvian Hymn

This might have gained a bit of a place of its own with Gloria's default signature weakness(es), though it's still a big stretch. Her triple weakness, Prophecy of the End, seems to serve to throttle her usage of her ability more than anything, since I can't imagine using her reaction when you already have two underneath you. As such, putting them on the bottom of a recently shuffled encounter deck sounds like a nice boost.

There are three ways to do this. Alyssa, Scroll of Secrets, and Antediluvian Hymn. So, you either need to get lucky with the former two or use them in tandem with another "look" card, which obviously means you're using more resources. That being said, those cards already do what Gloria wants to be doing, soo it's hardly an argument against them. Still, for the mere purpose of 'bottom'ing your weaknesses, this shows you the most encounter cards per card, I think.

All that being said, a bit of prudence and Gloria's signature card should already deal well enough with her weakness, I feel like. I highly doubt that an honestly slim chance of putting one or two copies of the weakness on the bottom would be worth it on its own. I can only imagine this whole shenanigan being actually worth it if you're going full support and/or don't have those other two "put on the bottom" cards in your deck and/or benefit from the curses as well.

P.S. Oh yeah, two problems that still exist: Some scenarios shuffle the encounter deck liberally, which totally defeats its main upside. This especially sucks when the reordering aspect, which is part of what you're paying for, is not that important for Gloria beyond preventing encounter combos, since she chooses the investigator order anyway. I still can't believe this costs 2 resources, too. Anyway, I'll keep coping until this gets taboo'ed, because damn, what a waste of a cool name and amazing art.

Ascetic

Green Man Medallion can reduce the cost to zero. So u might see ascetic Jenny sitting in the corner, doing nothing but moving resources to her medallion, and finally resigning herself (Don't do this in the multiplayer game).

Also see: Down the Rabbit Hole, Arcane Research, Pelt Shipment, The Raven Quill, Adaptable, Déjà Vu, and Refine to circumvent the drawbacks of this card. — AlderSign · 416
So Investigators who start with XP like [Kymani Jones](/card/09008), and [Father Mateo](/card/04004), and [Roland Banks](/card/90024) and [In the Thick of It](/card/08125) means I can start with 18 XP? — EnderDragon · 1
Yes indeed! — AlderSign · 416
Does DtRHs increased costs trigger, when you create your deck? If not ascetic might be good for mystics due to thei massive discounts on spell upgrades — Tharzax · 1
I don't get the question... You choose the order in which you purchase / include cards in your deck, so you can just add DtRH as your last card during deck creation. — AlderSign · 416
That was, what I asked for, so thanks. — Tharzax · 1
Oculus Mortuum

This sounds like it was designed for Kōhaku Narukami and his Geist weakness Weeping Yurei. Although an annoying weakness if drawn at the wrong moment, you can pretty much control when the thing attacks you with a Kōhaku deck, and assuming you were investigating anyway Oculus Mortuum helps you getting the clue and at the same time stinging the little hit-and-runner. I see this as a true blessing regarding its keywords and the fact that the last damage will interrupt and negate the attack.
