List this as my favorite art that includes a Zoog!

Interesting card, but with a mere book icon I am not sure if it will see any serious play... I imagine if a local meta is full of decks with Ancient Ones running rampant this could be a nice combo for Demented Caretaker. Extending this line of thinking: Syndicate Liaison, Hard Case, and Extortionist could be exhausting for your opponent.

For the future: I would like to see a way for Syndicate to whack their own Characters, to escort them to a "Safe House" and put them into play again...

Felicia Cano returns. She's been a great artist for us for a long time. Of course it's a Zoog. She's done them all. It's her best syndicate versus Bane and Turncoat, both of them fine.

Sorcerers are a powerful subtype with no power nor synergy. They should be able to do crazy things.

I was surprised to see around 70 sorcerers. Sounds less rare than I thought.

Up against syndicate, it's a killer. Plus, with no criminals in play, you can still play him.

Now I'll read the article and see how off or redundant I was.

Nice article. Enjoy your breaks FFG and all. Return to hand is far from sacrificing, better than drive insane maybe.

His stats make total sense. He'd be maybe overpowered with anything more, even with minor ability. But 3 skill mighta been cool.

Well, I disagree! I thought the article was short and whack. And the card isn't even a true rectangle. Some people, like me, work the holidays. We are the machine that supports the cheer. Where's my holiday extra spoiler? What's Felicia Cano's deal? Is this even a Zoog card? Cano's Conspiracy Theorist isn't a Zoog at all, total whiff. And the first Zoog missed the Zoog subtype. None are as powerful as Cano's old Professor of Archeology, two Investigate struggle boosts, wow! It's been all down hill from there. Everything. The whole bin.

We've debated the best two cost syndicate character (This is the 30th). It's a killer of a list. Fugitive, Trigger Man, Hatchet Man, Cronie, Torch Hottie, the list goes on. Between 1 and 30, I'd give the new spoiler, Small Time Magician, a B7-Q. You see my point. They've got flat roofs out in Minnesota. I hope someone shovels off the FFG roof while employees are off partying down, especially if they're in the cool new game space without Christian's permission getting all lit, and whoosh, the whole thing deflates like the Metrodome.

Could happen. I'm just saying. So, shoes' comments are way out of line.

I demand an apology.

I accept your apology.

Who is this really? You called me.

Outrageous. Characters with one arcane. Of thirty-eight of them with one measly arcane, Spawn of Hastur is the all time beauty.

And that's a fact.

I am so confused, yet strangely entertained.

Did you see this?

Best Silver Twilight card yet!

That is the best silver twilight yet. Having virtually perpetual free domains can make up for a lot of a faction's shortcomings.

Where once it was the characteristic lamps and desks of MU that pervaded, now the zoot suit is on very many a card.

Gray and gray with a sharp red.

Still, spare me the ululations shoes. Kennon's right. Master Aemon's references to Egg are as confounding as Arya's blindness. When will there be more? H.P. Lovecraft and the new serial writer are up to something. And I don't think it's biscuits. And what of Houdini?

Yes, it was kinda short. Some insidious minds have even suggested to include a few False Papers to bounce opposing threads in a pinch. While that's a narrow combo, actual removal is few and far between in Syndicate, so if there are more subtype interactions, it may be worth it.

Ritual of Power could be an evening prayer if FFG wold give the Syndicate back the ability to Burn the Midnight Oil, but even before that how about hiring the Silver Twilight's Housekeeper to tiddy things up a bit. Temporary removal is sometimes enough to get the goods and make a get-away...

One of the stranger things I've seen from Johnny Shoes (and this says a lot !) - was his seemingly having a conversation - complete with multiple replies to himself ! - WITH himself..... ohh ....my...has the madness taken me ?

I still can't read most of J-Shoes posts without my head physically hurting and a strange sickness coming over me....I suspect he's an avatar of Hastur.

That is the way of things.

Shoes is an insane philosopher.

You do not WANT him to make sense.

If his posts make sense to you, it means you are losing sanity fast.

Now that you mention it I thought I was missing something.
