Hold Up

If you play this card in combination with Kukri, it might be good! But you know, that means you are playing a deck full of the worst cards ever printed in this game, so why stop at that? Put in a Quickdraw Holster in your deck maybe, maybe then you wanna play a Springfield M1903 which you will then realise you fcked up the timing and you will discard the Kukri you played before, so at that point you will feel sorry for yourself and take all 4 cards and throw them into the fire.

TLDR: Nobody will ever play this, sadly. But not so sadly, as the artwork is also one of the worst in the game, and i swear my AI image generator has done better

I'm confused about how Kukri is supposed to be relevant here. — OrionAnderson · 71
A quick card search reveals that Rob Laskey was culprit responsible for the images on Hemlock's suite of new animal mask cards, which instantly assult your eyeballs with easily some of the most atrocious art in the game. This the kind of cheap hackery that lowers a game's prestige. N — Blitheharrow · 38
Fire Axe

The most boring, unimaginative and weirdest upgrade in THE WHOLE game. For 2xp you get "Fast"? What? Such a bad upgrade to one of the most classic cards in the entire game, the one that was designed ages ago and started making a whole archetype with Dark Horse. I know some folks like to say "heeey but you can save it in your hand if you play somebody like Minh and then when an enemy shows up you put it into play hoho i am so smart" yeah, but you can do that with the other Seeker cards like "I've got a plan!" or Occult Invocation, you know, the card that is meant to be saved in your hand for when you need it, which is why it is an EVENT card? And with it you just spend a bit of resources and blast 2-4 dmg and be done with that enemy that is sooo problematic as you say, and still keep 2xp and save yourself a hand slot.

They could have given us another +1 to combat maybe, or make it do something else, maybe another ability that is a reaction which says if your last resource is spent by the above ability, gain 1 resource. That way it would make it so when you destroy the only enemy with it you still get 1 resource for other cards when you need it and would make an interesting combo card. Such a disappointment :(

From all the community DIY player cards i've seen, this one is the most boring one — OnThinIce · 26
Miracle Wish

No. Its NOT an ultimate producer. It's a 5 EXP Lucky+ and one of the most hard using 5exp cards ever, evenly matched with Flurry of Blows .

Most investigator have an of +2, with a little bit cards, resources or other bonus. So if you play miracle wish with just 1 token, its effect now reads "1c. Fast. after an an investigator at your location would fail a skill test: they get about +2 skill value and a personal bonus." The more it draws, the more copy of Lucky you got. It cant save your ass unless you are running standard difficulty. is also unchangeable.

You probably want bring Evanescent Ascension into play with multiple wishes, cause Miracle Wish its an disposable card. So you want multiple token revealed in a single test, to do so, you need cards too catch it, or being lucky enough. Then you need to pay the X price. Its quite expensive when you were a guardian (If your bless deck seals in Rite of Sanctification to get resources, its more harder to get more bless tokens form the bag).

So who probably want to use it? OH OF COURSE, Father Mateo! He got an automatically succeed, but wait! How the hell they only give him Bless cards 0-3??!! Or, Kohaku and Mary? Maybe their +1 can change something...Nah. To me, seems that Carson Sinclair with a bless theme deck is the only reasonable choice. Once you give your teammate an , you can trigger your own to draw 1 card. Now it became a 5 EXP Lucky(2)+ ! Thank you FFG janitor.

Thank you for using my term "FFG janitor". It cannot be anything else, because nobody sane would put this and Flurry of Blows to cost 5xp. Guardians are already the weakest class of them all, so he's gotta be the one to blame — Blood&gore · 432
Compared to seal of the elder sign it seems ok in terms of xp for the effect. You trade the secure token pull for the ability to use the card more often. Nevertheless only use it if you have a good elder sign effect. — Tharzax · 1
I have to disagree you Tharzax, seal of elder sign is way better than this. One auto success is better than many Luckys. It gives you a sure win in any important or deadly test, a sure success point for crystal pendulum. Once you decide to use it, you basically dont need any other cards or resources input. None of this can MW do. — OnThinIce · 26
You know when I read Evanescent Ascension I just automatically assumed that the elder sign replaced all other revealed tokens — OrionAnderson · 71
I suppose you can abuse this with Rod of Carnamagos, but Carson can't use it. I agree that the best user for Miracle wish should be Carson. — joster · 40
Cleaning Kit

Not sure if it's because it's a guardian card or because of the versatility of ammo/supplies, but when I first saw this card Carson Sinclair came to mind. My group usually makes 3man campaigns so there is always a flex investigator. Adding this (or the Cleaning Kit lvl3 version) can help both the fighter to add more ammo and the cluever to resupply their fingerprint/flashlights. Along with Venturer it's a pretty big time support for the rest of the group. Great card overall even for a fighter to use for his own (found it pretty useful on a flex Wilson Richards that I tried as well, reloading his tools as needed (Chainsaw in particular)

Cleaning Kit only only supplies your own assets, not your friend's assets — OrionAnderson · 71
Yes, but you can supply your own Venturer which can in turn supply the group ;) — AlderSign · 300
Honed Instinct

If Leo Anderson can find space for it, this is really good for him with the Muscle Memory and Impulse Control upgrades. Now any of the allies he plays with his free action get to cosplay as Leo De Luca for a turn, which can be extremely clutch on some key turns (especially if you're playing the real Louisiana Lion as well).
