The problem I have I realized today is the way AH deals with rules in a scenario To figure out the rules, you need to read multiple cards on the table (enemies, location, act) and piece together everything which is exhausting the first time playing new scenarios. It would have been better with a summary in the rules of all of the mechanics and how they should be navigated

I found this scenario a bit strange thematically. It serves it's purpose as the mandatory adventure starter, like a tavern where the party get's their first quest, but does it really have anything to do with the theme of the campaign as a whole ? What I wanted to say is that I miss the old days of having been contacted by an old friend the professor who perished tragically when they got to close to the truth. Instead this campaign feels like all the characters are some sort of criminals working for a shady underboss, who all of them owe a favor ? I don't really get it

Maybe the tone they were aiming for is that this is going to be a grand adventure, but it really doesn't feel like it in the scenarios that come directly after, which feel like something out of the Forgotten Age.

No longer totally useless with the taboo giving you the fight action in addition to the play action. Maybe NatCho likes this in a more asset-heavy build.

With the new 2.4 FAQ, You can attach The Raven Quill to this bad boy and keep it after swapping to Blade of Yoth! (or any other upgrades you might like.)

This adds a ton of potential to one of my favorite support cards in the game by allowing an insanely underestimated weapon to hold a very powerful upgrade. Some benefits include:

• One hand and one spell slot too much for you? Worry no more with Spectral Binding!
• Not quite satisfied with the +2-6 buff? Add another +2 why don't you, using Mystic Vane!
• Need a little extra power but don't want to discard those precious charges? Snag some with Energy Sap!
• Last but not least, ready some other asset for a whole new dimension of shenanigans with Interwoven Ink!

Now keep in mind, this is expensive stuff. We're talking about a level 4 card and an "up-to-level-5" card here. So who can make magic happen? The obvious answer would be Roland but I think my fellow goofballs will enjoy running this on Ursula a lot more. You get access to some wonderful charge generation and can manipulate them as you wish to the places you desire! (Using the aforementioned Energy Sap for example!)

While 6 resources isn't exactly cheap for a weapon that provides no boost without some prep work, it enables a ton of potential that was just barely out of reach before this FAQ. It's not busted, hell it's probably not even that strong if you do get it to work, but it might just be enough to make your fellow players have a laugh or raise an eyebrow when the seeker starts dealing 4 damage per hit! (because they totally couldn't do that before... right...?)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand it's forbidden as of FAQ 2.4. The second card in history to get this accolade, kudos.

It will be interesting to see what will replace it in Harvey Walters starter deck reprints (which are arriving, also confirmed in the FAQ).

This guy is nastier than he seems. 1 damage, even if you deal with him with no way of testing your way out of it can be really nasty if your deck can't handle incidental damage.

Mystics hate this guy. Guardians and survivors handle him pretty well
