I really love this card for Carson, but also generally for any Guardian who may have some downtime and and spare resources. Carson's ability has generally shown that giving actions to someone else is pretty powerful when yours are less useful. This gives 3 actions to someone else for 2 resources 2 actions and a card. Its perfectly fine for a level 0 card. The true value here is in getting extra value out of Safeguard 0, because it turns giving a move to someone else, moving both of you. But beware that Safeguard 2 has different text and won't work here. I've personally always held that I just don't think the Safeguard upgrade is rarely useful. Safeguard 0 lets you manipulate movement outside of the allied player's turn. So if you're abusing Shortcut 0 or this, or Carson's extra action, or a few other things, disincentivises upgrading Safeguard.

I can see upgrading out of this of course. Its probably not lasting until the end of the campaign. But if you were taking Scene of the Crime, or Evidence, you may want to consider this. This is a sneaky +2 action total card, and worth consideration if you have the money.

Am I reading this wrong or is this just bonkers good? 2 cost card, spend up to 3 actions to get that many testless clues. Even if it was that text alone, it would be a fantastic level 0 card in a class notoriously bad at straight investigating. Add on to it you can have others join in on the fun, and as Rolandironfist pointed out there are safeguard shenanigans AND Carson loves cards like this, it's just an incredibly good card in my opinion.

I can see this being a pretty decent support card for Parallel Roland with Red Tape. Red Tape turns this card into "fast", which means no Attacks of Opportunity, and it only costs 1 action to play, which means a LOT of action compression. It's not especially difficult for Roland to take all 3 effects for himself, but it might be better to use it to extend your fellow investigators' plays. Could be worth putting a one-of underneath Stick to the Plan.
