This event seems absolutely fantastic for Rita Young. An attack at skill value 8 is nearly guaranteed to succeed on standard against all but the strongest of enemies. And the auto evade afterwards means you can ping the enemy for a third point of damage or move for free! Not bad for 1 resource and 1 experience.

Also pretty good for Nathaniel Cho. It's a Spirit event, so he can look for it with his Boxing Gloves. There is a lot of competition for card slots in his deck tho.

This would be the fourth card that Parallel Daisy back has access to that Standard Daisy does not, the other three being Grimm' Fairy Tales, Scroll of Secrets (3) (Mystic), and Book of Shadows (3).

Of those three, Book of Shadows is by far the most interesting. Parallel Daisy back has access to the Archaic Glyphs spells, which use charges, rather than secrets (and so can't be recharged with Astounding Revelation). Book of Shadows could conceivably guarantee a use of Guiding Stones every turn, which is pretty strong. Where this starts to get really exciting, in my opinion, is with the Astronomical Atlas. Combining the extra icons + recursion from the Atlas with Practice Makes Perfect and you're well on your way to big commit Daisy deck that can just scoop up mountains of clues very consistently on higher player counts.

There are 3 tomes that Parallel Daisy back has access to that Standard Daisy back does not: Grimm's Fairy Tales, Scroll of Prophecy (3) (Mystic), and Book of Shadows (3). Of those three, Book of Shadows is by far the most interesting. Parallel Daisy back has access to the Archaic Glyphs spells, which use charges, rather than secrets (and so can't be recharged with Astounding Revelation). Book of Shadows could conceivably guarantee a use of Guiding Stones every turn, which is pretty strong. Where this starts to get really exciting, in my opinion, is with the upcoming Astronomical Atlas, which allows you to commit the top card of your deck to a skill test and add it to your hand if you succeed. Add in Practice Makes Perfect and you're well on your way to big commit Daisy deck that can just scoop up mountains of clues very consistently on higher player counts.

Ironically, most interesting for Carolyn Fern, as a 0-cost way to permanently and efficiently deal with smaller enemies spawning atop you (potentially even combining it with Beat Cop or other testless damage to handle 3-health enemies), as she typically doesn't have many enemy management options (especially not so cheap and guaranteed). Theoretically very useful if you want the deck to have more independence from other investigators, or if there's no enemy fighter on the team (e.g. playing solo).

Plus, you know, it's amusing. Who needs orderlies now?

(And definitely a useful card if going for a gimmick build with Meat Cleaver.)

When waylay came out with a pallid mask, it could do some good work.
Adventures since (and Carcosa's return) have given us more difficult enemies, five or six or seven hit point foes, who aren’t elite. Yet, despite being 0xp, this card is best as a skill commit until mid adventure. Lola, Wendy, Preston… all three can use adaptable to swap it in. And it’s expensive, but a rogue splash or on your own can handle that. Your mileage may vary.
