For Dexter Drake, the magic of fairy tales and myth has been a lifelong fascination. The chance discovery of an old book page during the Great War opened Drake's eyes to the possibility that magic might truly exist. Years later, the promise of arcane tomes locked away in Miskatonic University's special collection draws the successful stage magician to the quiet town of Arkham. Lured to an auction of occult items, "Drake the Great" and his assistant, Molly Maxwell, find themselves targeted by the depraved servants of an otherwordly force of disease and corruption. To save Molly, Arkham, and perhaps the world from a horrific transformation, Drake needs more than his wits and quick hands. He must turn to real magic, even if it risks his mind, body, and spirit.

I think Dexter is the strongest Mystic investigator yet. His power gives +2 economy (including saving an action, the most precious commodity in AH) every time it's used, and it isn't too hard to set it up. He makes cards that are already strong even stronger (e.g. Arcane Initiate, David Renfield and Scroll of Prophecies, as well as the typical suite of spell assets), brings decent cards into the strong contender range (e.g. Forbidden Knowledge), and even makes a few obscure cards worth playing (like Alchemical Transmutation). The reason his power is so strong is the same reason why fast effects and cards are so good: saving an action and breaking the normal restrictions on play windows can be incredibly useful, especially on harder difficulties.

Being able to replace your spent spells with full ones while engaged is very very good. On top of that, you get to shout, "Presto, change-o!" every time you do. — SGPrometheus · 867
He also has access to rogue economy cards, mitigating high costs of many spells. — Django · 5244
