The last review on this card comes from 3 years ago, before the incredible Stella Clark was released. Initially I had overlooked this card in Stella, and in fact DIDN'T include it in my first Solo run of TFA (where I died, brutally). I ran it back and started fresh, and this time picked up two copies of Rabbit's Foot (3) for my deck because it seemed neat, if a high XP investment.

It took exactly one scenario to see how insane this card is for Stella.

I would regularly dig 3-8 cards deep, looking for exactly what I needed for the situation at hand, and I did it while not actually costing me tempo because I could intentionally tank a test, trigger Stella's bonus action, and keep my hand stocked with goodies. Couple this with the already insane Drawing Thin (my run was untaboo'ed, but I would've gladly dumped 9 of my XP for 2 Feet and a Drawing Thin coming off the first scenario), and you become a beast capable of always having an answer to problems. Add in Live and Learn, another great Stella card, and suddenly you're down 0 actions and you get to dig crazy deep AND get a bonus on your next test.

This card is now one of, if not THE, most important card I mulligan for. It finds everything, it's cheap, it doesn't chew up a hand or ally slot, and the effect is overwhelmingly useful. Have you ever drawn the autofail token and shouted with joy "YES!"? It's not as unlikely as you'd think. Failing that Track Shoes test you didn't need, digging 5 cards deep, and getting a free action is a pretty good way to come out ahead when the chaos bag tries to give you the business. It's incredible and I highly recommend you give this card your time of day if you are playing Stella Clark. The foot really is lucky.

Question about this card:

I am engaged with a 2HP enemy and I have as assets Analytical Mind, Grisly Totem, and Dream Diary.

If I investigate using the bonded Essence of the Dream, and it works, it gives me 2 cards and 1 clue.

Can I use these 2 draws to proc Ancient Stone before I get the attack of opportunity and potentially killing an enemy first?

I thought if it could be possible to put It on the Backpack, and after used return It to the pack again? The cards at the Backpack can be used "as if they were in your hand.... What do you think? Is it correct?

Wendy is an underdog. On paper, her stat line is defensive, since her high willpower can’t easily be turned into magic. (Not without stealing teammate’s cards, which is possible because mystics usually have duplicates.) But out of the box, she’s a 'Survivor most likely to Succeed.'

Rita can dodge and fight better. Stella can fail better. Yorick has amazing powers of recursion and can obviously slay better, and Silas gets more value out of skills. Patrice and Calvin have their own specialties...

But Wendy can look at the auto fail or a pull that would put doom on a nearby cultist and just say “nope". And after the Innsmouth conspiracy was revealed, this went from pretty great to amazing.

With Ancient Covenant, all you need to do is see a bless token and you’re succeeding. One copy of Keep Faith in your starting hand along with your amulet lets you add eight blesses to the bag, at the cost of four resources and one action… And Keep Faith returns to your deck.

Going off the orphan theme, Wendy can take On Your Own, and if she’s waiting to wait until the upkeep phase, can do the above combo for zero resources. Want allies? Borrow them with your rogue cards or chance encounter, paying two bucks less than they did to put them in to play!

Combined with favor of the sun, and Wendy can investigate a five-shroud location without needing lockpicks. With your picks, you’re going to trigger any rogue “succeed by” card you want, and if you need money to prime the pump, Faustian Bargain can be played twice! 10 bucks in three actions, shared with anyone in your space... then trap three of the curses with favor of the moon.

You could even build a gimmicky fighting Wendy, with Eye of the Djinn in one hand and a Fire Axe in the other. Underestimate that at your own peril! Succeed at your leisure.

I'm imagining two best uses for these cards.

1)Beefing up investigators who already have 3 in a stat, such as Diana's strength, Luke's evasion, Jim's intellect, etc. so they can pass basic tests that don't let them use spells to swap stats - most notably those on treacheries or scenario cards.

2)Giving the option to commit out-of-class skills to Mystic staples for power plays. Deduction onto Rite of Seeking, Vicious Blow onto Shriveling, etc.
