This card can help any Rouge or off-class Rouge paired with a Guardian with a Machete to get them engaged with an enemy. Also Rouges have spare actions to do this instead of wasting precious Machete-chopping time for the Guardian, and they may get it easier to activate Pickpocketing when doing so.
At only 1 resource and 2XP, this upgrade to Wendy's Amulet looks like a terrific way to make her more reliable!
As a neat bonus, it can be included in non-Wendy decks that may lack reliable tutors, to dig out such as:
Grab two of them so that even if you don't pull the 1-of that you're looking for, there's a good chance you'll find a Backpack in your Backpack, so you can tutor after you tutor. (If you like that.)
Clearly a very situational card, it's good in scenarios where you know there'll be a lot of locations in play and preferably from the get-go.
I think this card will really shine in The Blob That Ate Everything; as long as you're not at an outer location you'll get the +2 and +2 pretty much all the time.
I'd like to take two copies of it in a Mandy Thompson search deck with Dr. Elli Horowitz and maybe the oft-forgotten Relic Hunter just in case. Assuming you have enough other sources of search as well it should be found pretty quickly, and getting +4 and for a base of 7 and 9 on a lot of locations is pretty nuts.
Location breakdown:
Scrying Mirror appears to be the lynchpin of many of Jacqueline's combos, such as predicting tokens that will be drawn or the results of skill tests.
Also pairs well with Mystic cards that are all about efficiency and consistency, such as Recall the Future, Olive McBride, or all of Jim.
Aside from that, this is a very good card for skill tests on BIG cards, like your friend's Lightning Gun or Eye of Truth.
Edit (7th Feb 2023): The original post below is no longer valid. As Killbray pointed out in the comments, the latest FAQ (2.0) clarified this:
(1.26) Searching During Setup
If an investigator is instructed to search a deck for 1 or more cards during setup, abilities that trigger when a deck is searched (such as Mandy Thompson’s reaction ability or abilities on Research cards) cannot be resolved, as the game has not yet begun.Original (Outdated):
One extra cool thing about Stick to the Plan that nobody else seems to be mentioning here:
For Roland Banks, Zoey Samaras and Carolyn Fern - you can include one copy of Astounding Revelation in your deck. This will trigger when you do your initial search with Stick to the Plan, causing you to consistently start every scenario with 2 extra resources (and your deck is thinned by one extra card!). This is equivalent to having Another Day, Another Dollar, for free!
