Wow, I really like Wraith. With a sacrifice/regeneration deck your opponent might not be able to keep any cards in his hand.

It certainly looks like we should expect some nice Support cards coming soon, what with everyone having a way to address them.

I am intrigued by Derby Hall - mostly because it finally does something with Faculty and Students. I don't see a good mechanism for it (well, maybe Erin, but too expensive...), but I'm hoping it will make sense.

I really like Eyes in a Jar because it really allows Syndicate to plan how best to use Character control cards and when to play Clover Club Executive. Also, the art is really cool and creepy. Eyes with nerve endings attached floating in a liquid filled jar, simple and to the point... I want one for my study, along with a shrunken head of course...

My fave:

Curse of the Stone

Type : Event
Cost : 2
Action: Choose an opponent. That opponent discards a card from the top of his deck for each character he controls.

Just one more step in the direction of making a competitively viable Yog mill deck.

Doppleganger is perhaps a better Yog card, but I enjoy the combo driven decks which dont have enough cards to really be viable yet.

Well, I must admit I'm interested in different stuffs :

Taming the storm + Parallel Universe or Syndicat Skill Reduction is really awesome, as it will allow players to abuse skill startegy a little...

Just add Meat Wagon with the Performance Artist and Waou !! A new profile for the Skill Reduction Deck !!

Derby Hall is a good back up for the curator to get back in hand and allow the Miska-Combo to be settle (reminds the curator concern every kinda support, whatever the faction is!). Field research station is an appropriate card for the curator + Chess Prodigy)

Smugglers is here to allow the extension of hand with the bottom of the deck... But strictly no good card for a weak faction. Combo anyone????

Eyes in a jar is the kind of card I find pretty boring. Knowing the opponent every moves is not interesting in a game based on surprises.Even the Curator might use it !!

Cthulhu's faction get a new boost to the deep one and Serpents, which is fine to me.. BIG C rocks the house and the degeneratef serpent cultist is the kind of card that will surely join my decks !

HAstur get some new hand discard... And this is so strong with the use of Endless Investigation, that I still claim the Ban of Endless is Important !!!

FFG, please, listen to us !

I like the Yog cards, as the cultist of the key will allow new commitment with the Struggle artist ... Sending 2 characters in a story and defend with them both is strong.Curse of the strong is an addition to the discard deck and this is fine..

Doppelganger is the only character I still have problems with... definition of "exact copy" lakes, despite we all understand what it means...What about the copyu of characters that owns a "enters play" effect ??? Does it works ???

Feasting Ghoul is a great addition to the Ghoul Deck, as it will be the exact similar effect than the one given to the Mi-Go deck. Stopping recursion is fine.

The Optic Warehouse is nice, as it might remove the most important weakness of the Mi-Go deck, Terror !

Concerning the "Get Away Card", it will be nice for the Rookie and Human faction, but I don't think the mythos faction will clearly enjoy this. As long as we won't have a card that will allow to benefit the wounds, this kind of card will have a limited interest.

Yeah, I have to agree with you on the Endless Interrogation ....using it (when it comes up) in my current Hastur // Agency Rush deck has been very powerful. If I get Magah Birds on Turn-1....even without the 70-steps combination....I am able to win/succeed at - at LEAST 1-story...because opponent has only 1- or maybe 2 small characters out on his turn...if lucky..

As soon as I take the story...I lay out Endless Int - and they must randomly toss a card... then I tap one of my domains to pick back up to hand from discard...then (stupid errata !) - I lay out it again...and they randomly lose 2nd card..... then I use another domain.....and pick up ....and lay down again..... etc. etcetera

Basically with even 1-success on a story, I can destroy (random !!) 3-cards (and maybe 4) - which is just crazy for 1-card. On Turn-2 (potentially) my opponent can easily have ZERO cards in hand and be praying for a good draw to save his game !

And the worst part is...once the cycle of Endless begins, the person being hit by it has NO way to stop it....the only way to win is to somehow stop EVERY enemy character from ever succeeding even once...at a story. That is very hard to do for the whole game, even if you are doing pretty well.

The way Endless would be fair is ..."Use this ability to pick the card up from Discard - ONCE - in a given turn - only".

That way you could play it once (for Zero)....and it would go to Discard...then you could pay One to get it back...but this would be it....if you played it again on that same turn, you would not be allowed to pay 1- and pick it up again from Discard.

Limiting the effect to 1-2 cards, instead of 3-4, would be a big help, I think - to weakening its power.

Thanks for the (complete) spoiler!

Smugglers is a great card, too. And it's also for a faction that could use a boost. Eyes in a Jar is yet another way to reveal an opponent's card, which seems to be the new schtick of the Syndicate faction.

I also continue to be amazed about the great conspiracy cards in this set. A +2 skill advantage for every character is pretty neat!

Actually most of the cards are pretty solid. The Yuggoth Contract really doesn't disappoint, so far.
