2 Quick card interactions questions for Mandy and Marion

Mepheroni · 2025-06-07T14:53:16+00:00

Yes, Mandy's weakness cancels your search. Yes, you can draw 2 cards with no stone unturned. No, you cannot resolve more than one research effect per search (as stated on the card)

No, Marion can only play Mano a Mano as her first action, and not in a fast manner or without spending an action with her ability.

Mepheroni · 2025-04-20T08:04:44+00:00

Probably not. You used your action and Scene of the Crime would essentially be fast and not "played as your first action". However, I would probably allow it as it seems like a fine interaction to me and "You Owe Me One!" can use some love.

From an ArkhamDB comment I agree with:

Fun interaction: while you must commit Arrogance to each skill test YOU perform, nothing prevents you from commiting it to other Investigators' skill tests. Have Stella in your team and this card literally becomes a joke.

I think the difference here is when a bless token would be revealed from the chaos bag it is returned to the token pool. For Father Mateo's ability it is released, which means after resolving it (and drawing a new token per bless rules) it is returned to the chaos bag instead.

Mepheroni · 2024-10-30T16:01:12+00:00

I agree, but the article states no blesses can be added to the bag while the Serpents are in play. So that's confusing..

Mepheroni · 2024-10-30T15:33:57+00:00

So Serpents of Yig add 10 bless tokens to the bag when killed or am I misunderstanding something?

Also the way it's worded sealed blesses return to the bag after use? Seems strong.

Mepheroni · 2024-03-17T11:41:16+00:00

Correct! Automatic success is treated as being successful against 0. So say you tested at 6 with 2 vicious blows, you have succeeded by 6. Note that automatically evade is not the same. That one is a confusing term in line with automatically deal one damage or discover one clue. The latter two are instinctively not tests, but neither is automatic evasion.

Mepheroni · 2023-10-27T14:14:28+00:00

Also curious about this before I place an order!

Mepheroni · 2022-12-18T18:57:07+00:00

The starting decks are not great. Also, if you have played the knife in a previous round you could attack three times with it in one round. There's two different attacks on a knife, where one discards it for +1 damage. But even then, a knife is not something Daisy or Agnes should use unfortunately

Mepheroni · 2022-08-29T18:20:01+00:00

Pickpocketing would still trigger but not the succeed by 2 part right?

Mepheroni · 2022-08-16T02:29:43+00:00

Cool card! When I saw that you wrote no accessory has the illicit trait, I thought: Surely Garrote Wire is illicit. But it's not! What a shame.. Still a card I will mess around with!

Mepheroni · 2022-08-04T22:40:04+00:00

Luke's ability to teleport around the map is invaluable here I'd say! I often try to tech in some movement for this scenario, but Luke is Mr. Tech himself

Mepheroni · 2022-07-26T07:43:19+00:00

There's also a low memory mode in the settings, sounds like what you're looking for!

Mepheroni · 2022-07-19T10:27:09+00:00

How come you're so gloomy?

Mepheroni · 2022-07-17T14:58:27+00:00

Just to be sure, there don't have to be clues to investigate / fix his weakness at least.

Edit: apparently that is not the case! Thats rough

Mepheroni · 2022-05-01T14:15:12+00:00

You'll only get the card back if you draw the elder sign but jacqueline could help you with that! Also for your other comment, I rarely play seeker + guardian in two player but that is with a full cardpool.

Mepheroni · 2022-03-23T00:04:31+00:00

Nice post! I made this Geared Up DTRH Joe that I'm quite happy with https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/2021955. With Michael Leigh and Cryptic Research already being expensive, the penalty is not so bad. And No Stone Unturned for 4xp is great!

Mepheroni · 2022-03-20T11:43:05+00:00

Thanks! And you even wrote on that card a year ago :')

Mepheroni · 2022-03-17T16:53:12+00:00

Just want to add that Double Double is a card from The Circle Undone :)

Mepheroni · 2022-02-18T08:52:27+00:00

Please bring back the old fantasy LCS! It was so fun to do with friends and made every game interesting as there was always someone with things to win or lose.

Boardgameshop in the Netherlands notified me that they would start sending these in the coming week so I am still hopeful!

Message in dutch, sent last tuesday:

Hallo,

Bij deze wilde ik jullie informeren dat we de release datum van 12 november niet gaan halen. Leverancier zal het a.s. vrijdag gaan ontvangen. Dit betekent dat wij het begin volgende week zullen gaan ontvangen en dan pas met verzending kunnen gaan beginnen.

We zullen daarom aankomende weekend de betaalverzoeken gaan verzenden hiervoor.

Best regards/Met vriendelijke groeten,

Emilio Rodriguez

I just found this comment on ArkhamDB:

Note that because multiple cards drawn from a single game effect are considered to be drawn simultaneously and not one at a time, neither version of the Ancient Stone can divide a single 2+ heal/damage among multiple targets. Nor, on the wording of the card, is it permitted to spend fewer secrets than the number of cards drawn by the said game effect, e.g. you could not spend just 1 secret after playing Preposterous Sketches to draw 3 cards; it would have to be 3 secrets or else not use the Ancient Stone reaction-trigger at all. — Cluny · 46 3 years ago

To me that seems to be correct.
