I tried to wrap my hand around this card for a while. This is a pseudo evasion+ attempt that ignores the alert keyword. But...

Who wants this? Alessandra Zorzi? Although saving the action, it's still very meh in itself. Maybe for having an enemy with her for stuff like Grift. Benefitting from the bonus skill value from Dirty Fighting? Trish Scarborough? Can't take it and has too low willpower, anyway. There might be some other obvious investigators who take this early in a campaign as a mid-tier pick, but what I find especially weird is that Patrice Hathaway, who is depicted in the card art, does not benefit from the fail-safe at all!

Then it came to me. Fail-safe...

POV: You are Stella Clark and are utilizing discard shenanigans, benefitting from having cards in your hand. Play this with Drawing Thin, return it to your hand and then simply keep it as fodder for e.g., Cornered, or... Live and Learn to get the evade+ effect and still have the card in your hand for using it again later.

Not sure if that interaction makes the card viable, but I honestly see it more in a fail deck than in a parley deck.

A pseudo evade that can't really fail, uses a different stat, can test against fight, and can hit something that isn't on you. Seems fine in most survivors to me. — SSW · 217

@SSW: Yeah, maybe I was too hard on it. — AlderSign · 407
