Comparing Out the door and "Watch this!" is so strange to me. They both have a lot of overlap, in that they're both: rogue money generating skills, they both have downsides on failing the test, they're both gambit traited, and they can both be found in Andre Patel's box.

But when you start to look at the differences, almost everything shows up in favor of out the door.

• Compared to "watch this!", you get an additional +1 on agility tests, and the option to commit for +1 on book tests, which "watch this!" couldn't do at all.
• You can commit it to a teammate's test, as an uncharacteristically generous way of handing out resources.
• You don't need to have resources to spend on committing the card to begin with.
• If you fail, you maintain your current resource count. You only lose the ones you just gained, whereas "Watch this!" will lose you the amount you would've gained, which is a really big downside for a card that you would slot specifically to help solve your money problems.
• This generates resources before you do the test, meaning you can immediately spend the resources generated on a talent like Silver Tongue as a part of the same test, if you need to.
• You don't need to succeed by 1 to generate resources. If you're not already aiming to succeed by 1 or more, this essentially means out the door gives you an additional +1 over "watch this!".

Now, in favor of "Watch this!" we have:

• Has the potential to generate 1 additional resource

That 1 additional resource is actually quite a substantial benefit. That's the difference between Leo De Luca and Leo De Luca. But is it worth it? I don't feel like it. The extra risk is feels like it's in direct conflict with it - I'd much prefer to choose +2/+0 over +3/-3.

Doesn't really matter either way, to be honest. You spend one XP per card and get Out the door(1). All of a sudden that last upside too joins the winning team.

Nothing says you can't take both of course. "Watch this!" was and still is a great card, but the best purpose that card serves now is to emphasize just how strong Out the door is.

Great ally for Tony. Not only he boosts Tony's main stat (and so helps getting out enemies), but also for fast action he could finish the enemy using Tony's Colt (and not using its ammo). Doing so, we can feed Bounty Contracts and keep gaining additional fight/engage actions until the end of the scenario.

Is it possible to use this together with the newly printed Lucky Charm (or other cards that move horror instead of inflicting it), since it uses the term "when horror is placed on cloak of resonance..."?

Chapter 2 review

Resilience is a card for when you want more soak in addition to your allies, and usually Guardians will want this for horror soak specifically. If we take Logan Hastings he only has one horror soak, so if you want to keep him around and your investigator has low sanity already (both Daniela and Tommy fit this definition) then it can be a useful alternative. Even if you take Charisma and a second ally with more horror soak (Detective Sherman, or Daniel Jameson on Daniela) then they're still usually valuable enough that you won't want to kill them off - so having completely disposable soak like Resilience is handy.

In terms of alternatives, Stakeout provides horror healing, but it's only one (rather than two soak here) and it comes with the risk of failure. Daniela in particular doesn't like it very much with her low stat. Daniela has further options such as Meat Cleaver and Canteen, but Meat Cleaver takes a precious hand slot and Canteen costs XP (and realistically offers more healing than you need in a scenario). Resilience meanwhile can't fail like Stakeout, it's slotless unlike Meat Cleaver, and it costs no experience unlike Canteen. By far the biggest drawback of Resilience is its 3 resource price tag, but in cheap decks (e.g. your main asset combo is Sledgehammer and Logan) then you can usually afford it - and it's often an asset you only play when you need it as well. The single icon does aid its utility, as usually Guardian decks like willpower icons generally - so even if you don't want to stump up the 3 resource cost at a particular point in time then you can instead commit it to a horror-dealing treachery and see some value that way.

Conclusions: It's a pretty niche card, but not innately binder fodder. Most commonly Daniela likes it because it's a 0 XP soak option that preserves more valuable ally assets and gives a further outlet for In Harm's Way, and with melee weapons her decks can run quite cheaply too to afford it. This frees her up to not need XP for things like Canteen, and so invest in the things she likes a lot (Sledgehammer, Scrape By, upgraded Vicious Blow). Even with Daniela, if you do have any other soak in your deck (e.g. Charisma with a two horror soak ally in addition to Logan) then you might only need a single copy as appropriate hedging vs. the encounter deck. For Tommy, usually the resource price tag puts this out of his reach (given guns are expensive) and he also gets better use out of Stakeout (which gives a clue alongside the horror healing, and so is nice for tempo).

It’s bothering me that this is not a Rogue card, with that card illustration I don’t think a Survivor type person will act cocky with a cop!
