I'm actually very surprised there hasn't been a single review of Yorick's signature card. Well, let me summarize:
A+. 10/10. Literally the best signature event in the game. Quickly searches up all the signature events to confirm. Yeah, I'm right. It's the best one. Honorable mention to Obscure Studies and Dark Insight, but I do believe Bury Them Deep bests them.
Why is this card so good? I'll tell you. First off, ignore the icons. You will never commit this, period. It's too valuable. At the end of the day, you might fail that test you considered committing this, and that test might fail a scenario, but as long as you manage to kill a Swarm of Rats before things end, you've at least got a VP to show for it. You will kill something nasty, Bury it Deep, and it'll just chill in the victory display like a trophy, knowing that, no matter how bad the scenario goes from there, you got something out of it.
And yeah, that's really satisfying. But let's think about that application. Any non-Elite enemy gets added to the Victory Display, as long as you kill it once with this card in hand. That's incredible. You might think "well now, non-Elite is a pretty hefty restriction since all the really annoying things are Elite", and that's where you'd be dead wrong. This game is full of stupidly annoying enemies that, for some reason, are not Elite and don't have victory on them, meaning you can often encounter them multiple times a scenario (especially if you get a reshuffle). Here are a few, spoilers of course at your discretion:
- Abyssal Revenant
- Brotherhood Cultist
- Cats from Saturn
- Conglomeration of Spheres
- Deep One Bull
- Hand of the Brotherhood
- Hunting Nightgaunt
- Inconspicuous Zoog
- Mindless Dancer
- Priestess of the Coven
- Spawn of Hali
- Spider of Leng
- Whippoorwill
- Wizard of the Order
I bet you thought at least some of those were Elite, didn't you? There are plenty more, but I think I've made my point. This card is just amazing. Enjoy the victory, enjoy the slightly safer travels.
