A great addition to the Survivor class that looks like something out of the Mystic suite. I'm happy to see such a powerful card effect that doesn't have "Exile" attached to it. Since you've paid the steep price of two XP for an insurance policy on one single skill test, you'll definitely want to recur it with Resourceful and keep it coming back again and again. Too bad it's not an Innate card, because True Survivor would be just what the doctor ordered.

This card really lets you push the envelope for a skill test that's a long shot. Three tries to fish out that almighty token, with the ability to stop as soon as you see something that will pass your check. I feel like Third Time's A Charm really gets better when the bag is pumped with tokens...playing this hot on the heels of Keep Faith or Tempt Fate is some awesome risk mitigation. The problem with that approach, though, is that for the same XP cost, why not get the fantastic Ancient Covenant instead? I'd probably pick this up AFTER that Permanent powerhouse, with the two combined being greater than the sum of their parts. That's 4 XP for a combo that will take your bless-heavy deck to the next level.

It's a simple card. You really can't go wrong using this to get extra uses out of Unrelenting or Seal of the Elder Sign, as long as your deck is relatively skill heavy. Every other effect it has is pure gravy.

Using it as a retroactive commit tool makes it a variant of Lucky: 0 cost, but requires you to spend a card. The 0 cost is also excellent for Dark Horse decks. If you retroactively commit a cantrip skill (Perception, Overpower et. al), the card cost will be offset. If you're only short by +1, retroactively committing Unrelenting allows you to draw 2 card without the sealed tokens affecting the test result. Using it to commit events or assets is meh, but sometimes you just need to pass that test. If you drew though, not much will help save for a retroactive Take Heart or Seal of the Elder Sign.

The Grisly Totem/Try and Try Again effect if you fail and is always useful, except that this can be used on allies as well. Winifred will love you for saving that All In from being wasted on an . And you can recover the card even if you don't fail the test. Take back a wasted Take Heart or Last Chance after you draw your or a , or an Unrelenting for 2 more cards, or a Signum Crucis for even more blessings. If Agnes takes back that Seal of the Elder Sign: you'll no longer be getting an effect on this test, but no chaos token is revealed anyway.

It's not an auto-include by any means. Although Silas, Pete and Minh run skill heavy, their deck slots tend to be highly contested, and unless they're doing bless tech it's likely to be less effective than a Try and Try Again. The idea use case is to support a skill heavy ally while also being skill heavy yourself.

I found one trickly usage of AToW (0). AToW can forcely initiate test even with non-test treachery card; Amanda could commit her signature weakness to avoid a penalty of it. Also, the player window is open during test; Gloria could trigger ability at Alyssa Graham or (taboo) Scroll of Secrets to look next encounter cards. It's helpful when Gloria looks cards in encouner decks and want to discard two encounters. Sadly, both Amanda and Gloria couldn't add this card without Versatile.

Mind blank level one gets a lot of accolades, and they are well deserved. Ignoring vengeance, retaliate or even aloof is a powerful thing. The level three version is great in specific scenarios: multiple-person games with annoying amounts of enemies. With this card, you can have the seeker ignore a weak foe for a turn. That means they could get two clues and move towards a guardian, or get to the resign area without dying.

This isn’t the first thing you should level up, because the level one version solves a lot of your problems, but nobody plays mystic without some free upgrade power. It’s especially fun in TFA, where enemies even into the late game do one damage and one horror.

This card is best used when it can be applied to a "succeed by" combo. For example Deduction, Perception, for those with access to Seeker up to 2, Quick Thinking for any with access to Rogue 0. Generally with cards that just need a win, like Deduction, Eureka!, Enraptured, this will also do the trick. Using this card just to get 2 clues for 2 resources, meh - there are better Mystic cards, or your class has access to better in-class cards.
