I don't know if this card is good or not, yet that's not the point. This is one of the most thematic cards in the whole game. I can only imagine Alessandra Zorzi saying, 'So you don't like my words? Maybe you will like my lead.'
Vincent Lee has a dark secret, he does not want to talk about. You know, how caring he is about any wounded bystander, he encounters? His mind suffers deeply, whenever he can't help, or at the very least keep them alive. This was not always the case. Once he visited Dunwich, and let somebody die, without regret. He blamed the Unhallowed Country for that.
I think there is a simpler way to get enjoyment from this card than mathematically computing how many that should have been negated. Then you'll not want to purchase it, because you think it does nothing in most tests.
It can give you quite a special experience when you could declare "hah! auto win!" as soon as you have boosted to match the highest minus in the bag, not often what you can feel in this game. If you think of it this way, it always does something on every test that everyone could enjoy until the charge runs out.
My play group is obviously grinning when doing high advantage test with sealed here. I think the card does its job well and we were entertained.
Love this jacket. I created a Charlie Kane deck with lots of animal companions to go with my Rod of Animalism, and despite organizing my allies around animals and a few low-cost people, I was still having money troubles. Then, mid-campaign, I picked up the jacket. NOT ONLY is it extra soak - which I need because I now start every game at 4 & 4 due to trauma - but with sufficient card draw and a few turns, it's a gain of 4 resources. Plus, I get to say that I'm shoving birds, cats, dogs, and people inside my coat and popping them out when the coat inevitably falls apart XD
