Greetings, loyal investigators and friends.

Delve Too Deep is delving into the Miskatonic Museum player cards, and looking at the first half of the cards today in our review of the Guardian, Seeker and Rogue player cards!

Be sure to let me know what you think, and enjoy!

Thematically, Brother Xavier goes with Zoey to make a nice narrative. He could be her 'confessor', the one that put her on this path etc. Beat Cop fits Roland better but makes no sense for Skids at all given his backstory. Of course, only for those that enjoy creating a narrative.

Thematically I think he's awesome for Zoey. Unfortunately, I don't think he's the best for gameplay. The +1 Willpower makes sense if you're doing a Spell build, but Zoey prefers allies that help with combat, like Guard Dogs or upgraded Beat Cops. I'd rather take the Emergency Aid, which allows us to heal Allies for the first time in the game, to get even more use out of them. The monk just soaks up a bit of damage, then does a bit of damage; but the other Guardian Allies provide more bang for your buck.

On the subject of allies I think its time Mystic's receives another ally. Correct me if I'm wrong but Guardian and Seekers has three allies, Rouge and Survivors two each. It seems mysterious that Mystic has one only.

Miskatonic gives Zoey more than one deck: she now has a tank build as well as the fighter build. Brother Xavier is clearly great for the tank deck, but he has a place in other Zoey decks as well. The Willpower not only makes passing tests from encounter cards easier, but as Zoey can play Rite of Seeking it gives her a very efficient option for investigating (even in a combat build 1-2 slots for Rite of Seeking can give her options when the board isn't flooded with enemies). With Charisma being released next month you are not constrained to one ally either.

I very much like rating system and quit a detailed view of each card. I plan to have more of a high-level approach to new cards (brace yourself, coming this Sunday). Can't wait for your opinion about new neutral cards.
