"I'll see you in hell!"

With Makeshift Trap (Improved Timer. + Net.) and some other tricks (Lure/Lure, Bait and Switch, "Get over here!"/"Get over here!", Predator or Prey) you can have your own antimatter singularity for 6 less XP than the boring vanilla Poisonous. + Explosive Device. combo.

Probably still only worth it in Calvin, but this way I think you can truly maximize the output of "I'll see you in hell!".

(I guess it's also viable in Tommy since he can easily take the trauma.)

Before the Black Throne

Norman Withers and The Harbinger say hi. While not game-breaking, the interactions between empty space and this investigator can lead to interesting and unique edge (of the universe) cases.

Wake Azathoth, they said. It will be fun, they said.

I'm not sure anyone, in any reality, has ever accused Before the Black Throne of being "fun." — NightgauntTaxiService · 430
Ravenous Myconid

2x Ariadne's Twine 1x Cryptic Grimoire 1x Dr. Milan Christopher

Congratulations, now you get 1 actionless Investigate that charges your Myconid every single round. The Myconids seem likely to get Taboo'd pretty quickly to me, especially the Sentient Strain. It is incredibly easy to game these things out and trivialize an entire scenario.

Yes, you do get an actionless Investigate following your plan, but it costs 5 cards, 9 resources, 10 XP, and actually managing to translate the Grimoire. I agree that Myconid needs taboo, but I don't think the combo you came up with, clever as it is, is why. — NightgauntTaxiService · 430
And you also forget to mention, that you don't make any money besides events since you need two ressources every round for the twines. — Tharzax · 1
BTW you can do this for 2 fewer actions setup, 1 fewer resource setup, 2 fewer resources per round, and 1 fewer hand and arcane slot. Replace both ariadne's twine and cryptic grimoire with farsight. Then it's a decent combo ;-) — NarkasisBroon · 10
Oh no, it's only one resource per round cheaper. Forgot that cryptic grimoire also gives a discount. :-) — NarkasisBroon · 10
Currently playing Kate through hv and farsight works really well with the myconid. I prefer using Ariadne on seeker scroll of secrets 3 — Django · 5108
