Hasn’t been a lot of chatter about level 0 yet, but I can attest that it is very solid in Preston. If he can get it down, his extra 4 resources a turn can put him at a 5 in agility or intelligence for a test. And he’s usually building to have a lot of resources anyway. That’s a lot of flexibility for level 0 Preston. After tabooing level 3 so heavily, I’m surprised they released level 0 as such a strong card. Granted, for other rogues it can be expensive, but this is the class built for making resources. This card fits well in any resource-heavy builds.

One thing the other reviews didn't touch on is how amazing Stella's health and sanity are. With very few exceptions (Calvin and Lola, and Pete except with Duke he does), an investigator's combined value adds up to 14 or 15. Stella is blessed with a generous 16! This might not seem like a huge deal, but health/sanity is king in Arkham Horror. Many scenarios are down to the wire and 1 more damage or horror can make the difference. And not only that, Stella has 8's in both sections, so she has no clear weakness! This, in combination with her access to Peter Sylvestre and Jessica Hyde and all the other survivor soak, makes her incredibly tanky! And remember, this is all just gravy on top of an amazing ability and solid skills. In fact, considering how good Stella seems to be with her current card pool, I don't know if she needed that additional hp. But I won't complain.

With the taboo, in addition to it just being a pretty good "draw three cards", there are I think two investigators who might find its ability even more useful:

• Sefina Rousseau
• Rex Murphy

Both their weaknesses shuffle themselves back into your deck. Scroll of Secrets being able to discard weaknesses straight from your deck can give you a reasonable shot at getting rid of it for this run-through of your deck, especially if you only start using the scroll after you've just shuffled the weakness back in and your deck is starting to run thin.

To make it super clear, I'll ask this question for confirmation:

If Patrice draws this card during upkeep, she can choose to go first in the next Investigator phase. If she has 3 actions for her turn, she can spend action 1 to try to fight/evade the Watcher in her hand. If she succeeds, the Watcher is discarded. If she fails the test, then it enters play engaged with her. She can choose to do nothing for her last 2 actions. Then, the fighter of the group can kill the Watcher. Right?

If that's the case, then this weakness seems fairly manageable. If successful, it only costs Patrice one action and maybe some resources or a charge or a card to deal with the Watch. If not successful, then it loses Patrice a turn. Not the most terrifying, but definitely something to plan for considering it can do 3 damage during the enemy phase.

So this may be one of the strongest cards ever printed for yorick, lets go down the list.

Cost 0 Asset check

Has Icons check

Takes up an uncontested slot check

Pays for every other card in your deck check

If you only get 1 blessing in the bag this still reads as 2 resources on his ability that can be looped basically forever, once you spend all the blessing the rite goes to your discard pile where you can just replay it until every enemy is dead.

If you go from tempt fate or keep faith into a 3/4 blessing Rite, yorick instantly becomes the fuel for your entire teams assets.

I am constantly struggling in my yorick decks to find ways to even spend my money anymore, no amount of high cost assets seem to be enough to drain the pool.

If you are a fan of the gravedigger then 10/10 I endorse this combo.
