Ambush

A group, meta card. If your group is running any combination of Alyssa Graham, On the Hunt, Split the Angle and/or Scrying, this card is really, really good as you will always know exactly when to use it.

And at 1 XP, it is worth the buy in those situations.

Outside of it, I would probably only run 1 in a On the Hunt Guardian (aka almost everyone everyone who can run guardian). If nothing else, you pay 2 and 2 to save you an action on your next turn.

I had this card in mark's deck in 2 missions. It's great when it works, but it was a dead draw most of the time. Should be a good combo with Scryning 3. — Django · 5171 4/13/18

What do you do if you draw the elder sign chaos token and the only card in your discard pile is your weakness?

The character card says: "If this test is successful, return 1 card from your discard pile to your hand." It doesn't seem to be optional, yet, what do you do with a weakness in your hand? Is this effectively "drawing" the weakness, meaning you have to resolve it? Or does it just sit in your hand until you're over your hand-size limit and then you can discard it? Or do you just ignore the elder sign effect in this situation?

“If a weakness enters hand through a method other than drawing the investigator must resolve the weakness immediately as if they had drawn it.” — Difrakt · 1333 4/9/18

It's not a triggered ability, it is a chaos token effect like any other, so if you do succeed, you must return a card to your hand (if able). Since you can return a card to hard, you must return the weakness. And as Difrakt posted above, its resolved as if you have drawn it. So yeah. Sucks to be you. — CecilAlucardX · 10 4/13/18

Infighting

Cost 3XP Don't work on Elites. Don't work on Allies. Does not have any "?" icon (so this card can still be useless during some games) Don't have any flavor text.

That make a lot of disadvantages. I can see some build with William Yorick and Taunt, but is it really worth it?

Most new and upgrade survivor cards are crap compared to other classes. I think playing a survivor or a whole group of them is like inofficial new difficulty level. — Django · 5171 4/6/18

If this said "Fast. Play this after the investigator phase begins" And changed "...this phase." to "...this round." then it would be worth including. — CecilAlucardX · 10 4/6/18

Carolyn Fern

Rules question: Can I include 20 seeker cards in my Carolyn Fern deck if 5 of them "heal horror"?

My assessment from reading her card would be yes. — SGPrometheus · 856 4/6/18

Yes, you can. — CaiusDrewart · 3202 4/6/18

Quote from another deck list on arkhamdb: The deck uses 16 total Mystic/Seeker cards, but per Matthew Newman any cards that fit under the umbrella of "heals horror" do not count against this deck restriction as they are part of the "heals horror" category of cards she can include. Confusing, I know. — Django · 5171 4/6/18

Thanks a bundle, guys! — jeermaster · 19 4/6/18

For future reference questions should not be reviews. Consider using Fantasy Flight's questions form for asking these kind of things, or going to Reddit. In my experience Fantasy Flight gave me surprisingly prompt answers. — NTGuardian · 24 5/23/18
