When playing Sister Mary in a high player count I often got annoyed when somebody else would pull several blesses at a time on a simple test that they would've succeeded on anyway. This prevents that once a round (note that it can activate at ANY location unlike the other covenants!), and being Mary, I also need those blesses to seal, kill, or delete, and if most of them are gone after the mythos phase and you have no bless recharge in hand, it can be infuriating. This 2 xp card might not look powerful but that's only until you see it silently doing work. If your cards consume blesses, you will love this, but if all you want out of blesses is to just make the bag easier, Sacred Covenant would probably be a waste.

Edit: I completely forgot the "unrevealed" condition. That really ruined the intent I wrote here for this card. It just becomes incredibly niche and I don't think it can get out of Shortcut's shadow.

Have you ever gone to the library and left with fewer books than you thought?

Or do you always seem to leave with more than you can carry, promising yourself that you’re definitely going to knuckle down and take on a few extra novels?

(If you’re spending your spare time reading card reviews for a very reading-heavy card game, the question is the answer.)

Daisy is super good at big hand strategies, owing mostly to the old book of lore. But with scroll of secrets now being a fast action, you’ll want it in play as much as possible. Having both means you won’t have a slot open for an encyclopedia or the Necronomicon.

This bag gets even better as you level up, because a library doesn’t put a card from your hand slot into your… Hand of cards. You can instantly replay it. Add calling in favors to put that docent into your hand, and you’re getting three uses out of the same card, and you save actions.

Fast actions mean you can put super useful books into play while enemies threaten to chew on your face. Like a Necronomicon translation that does direct damage.

It’s worth playing “read or die” though, because this card, while good, is not as positive as the advanced weakness is negative.

And remember, those books are gonna be due back in a month.

This one is hard to get, the second hardest bonus objective in a difficult scenario.

I was playing is Daisy and unknowingly had another character complete the objective, which is a downer!

Each of these abilities is good. It could save your life in scenarios not too hard to imagine. But for Daisy, it’s a permanent, slotless boost to Whit Greene, and an extra card every time you get your elder sign for the rest of the campaign. If you are parallel Daisy, it’s a permanent +1 willpower. That means you can get up to a six with your special tote bag out, more if you somehow get Dr. Elli to carry a tome relic for you.

This is an auto-include for Trish Scarborough. Use the enemy at your location to gain a 2nd clue, with this card picking up the AOO cost. This is particularly good for high evade enemies, where you will use Trish’s ability to evade/exhaust your enemy, then investigate to pick up remaining clue/s. The cost is low, has no action cost, and the asset slot is wide open for Rogue/Seekers. Yeah, it has Dexter on it, but Dexter can already play assets without action costs, and he wants more offensive/clue-getting spells in his slots.
