Rating the Edge of the Earth cards 1 year later! (Arkham Horror: The Card Game) 

Awesome video. Please consider doing the other cycles!!! There is a unmet need in youtubeland for these kind of videos - even when its possible to find full TFA, dunwich or carcosa player card reviews, they're 3-5 years old so the meta has changed.

Cyclopean Hammer 2:24 Guardian 5:47 Seeker 23:14 Rogue 39:47 Mystic 54:14 Survivor 1:12:22 Multi-Class 1:27:35 Neutral 2:13:16

2:19:44 I believe playing “Hit and Run” on a Sleg Dog is known as “Sleight of Hound” 😄

Synergy Finn is a ton of fun. Blur, Med Student or QuickDraw Holster, Track shoes. 5 money fast EZ and full power Backup.

I had a lot of fun playing Close the Circle and Cheat the System in Dexter. I don't think they're necessarily better than other options, but they are functional. Dexter being able to throw close the circle down makes the card feel a lot less expensive in terms of tempo, and getting one or two free actions (and another from Eon Chart) really makes you feel like Sonic the Hedgehog. Your friends will feel like you're a turtle, though, deciding what to do with all those actions.

Shocked he put the composure as good. Yeah its 3 exp but 4 points of soak thats fast and 0 resources is PRETTY GOOD, esp when it boosts 2 stats.

I don't get what so broken about Pocket Telescope? Active abillity is super strong, but not on a busted level. Exhaust abillity let's you look on revealed side of a location but it doesn't say that it reveals the location itself. So you still need to enter the location/spend clues to eneter location, becaus otherwise there a no clues on the location to discover them from connecting location. What am I missing?

Thanks for going through this in such detail. Great game great content 👍

Nice to see old Lewis Brindley of the Yogscast (aka Professor William Webb) is not relegated to the 'fine' tier.

I would still include Schoffner's if it cost 1xp which says a lot

Has anyone also played butterfly swords in the core set campaigne, and just destroy enemies with Lita Chantler? Cuz I mean, it attacks twice in a single action and can give one extra damage, so with Lita that's like 14 damage per turn

I think a good way to look at "Close the Circle" is that it's a 1xp 3ish use version of "Pathfinder" which in all honesty is fair and if it didn't take up an arcane slot it would be easier to justify for me

The one advantage Divintation generally has over Rite of Seeking is in solo, where I can spend one token if there is only one clue on the location. Saving tokens makes me happy.

Nice review! I’m an hour in, and my only shock is at unearth the ancients 2 - a staple economy upgrade for me in most seeker decks. Being able, instead of taking two setup actions, to unearth say hiking boots and a dream diary, or a scroll of secrets, or a dream-enhancing serum, or a lab assistant - there are so many useful assets seekers play, this is analogous to not playing scavenging (2) in a scavenging Minh - saves lots of actions!

Foresight is definitely great IMO. If you have ANY encounter deck control, like Scrying or Parallel Fates, it becomes a free, 1 XP version of Ward of Protection 5 that you can use on other investigators and don't have to take horror for. Plus the fact that anytime you search a deck for a card it still counts as drawing it.

Butterfly swords Lily Chen has been so enjoyable as my first real goon

Yo, could we get a full video on the sled dog archetype for your archetype series. Great video series btw thank you all for that.

Is this the best place to do a video suggestion? Revisiting EOTE made me remember - I >really< don't like the way the Investigators from this box advance. While I think Norman and Monterey suffer the least, I genuinely think Lily, Bob and Daniela (especially) suffer from having to move away from their base class. To that end - would ya'll like to do a campaign runthrough some time where you play the EOTE investigators (specifically Daniela included) as Primary Class 0-5, Secondary Class 0-2 instead of their actual rules? I'd love to see how differently they play with 'normal' deckbuilding. I just had a rough time with Daniela and all the best cards she would LOVE to play, she can't because she's a 'Survivor' instead of a Guardian. It's personal lol

Love these big rankings so much. Especially these retrospectives. It's really nice just to have all these cards swim through your brain again with hype turned down and a little bit of perspective.

I think forced learning would get IMMEDIATELY better if it said "discard one card" and not "discard one of them." If you got to choose a card from your hand and avoid needing both of those specific cards, then I would like it a lot more

Would be nice to see a video breakdown on arctypes per investigator box ( current and to be released like circle undone etc) Also what box or order you recommend buying . Kind of lost on what to get

I played Meditative Trance on Agnes with 5 Arcane Slots filled and it felt gooood for my sanity going all the way up. It was very fun and very easy to get those spaces, it's not a staple for Mystics but it is for a couple of builds. Another use of Meditative Trance is with Lily Chen going for Arcane Slots with her Dragon Pole and then using Blood Eclipse as an off Spell for damage and then healing back

Hammer is busted even post-taboo. I'm actually mildly pissed for them releasing such a horribly broken card, then having a chance to fix it and completely botching it up.

Great review. I don't get what people don't like "Unearth The Ancients (••)". Every time I've played seeker, this card is an absolute all-star. So much compression, attacks on stacks, with Milan, or Harvey or anyone else who can utilise the Investigate trigger. Play Milan and 4 cost book out whilst getting a clue and money for 0, yes please.

I think, Horror in High Gear is never quite the challenge. There are ways more busted than Pocket Telescope to cheese this scenario. (Barricade-Luke anyone?) We never broke anything in it, and it was still quite an underwhelming, boring scenario, not the "race", we had expected it to be. Would play ECC (or To the Forbidden Peaks) every time over this, if I had the choice.

Yeah, Hit Me in my experience became a Lucky card. Just doomed myself to future bad luck.

Astronomical Atlas it doubles your draw speed and makes all your cards serve double duty. Used it two deck now and it was Busted in Norman and fantastic in Agnes. It must have been the Jim factor that made this Fantastic card only Great.

I love rereview of cards, they are more accurate and first opinions, to be honest, are not that great.

thx ! always interresting

Thx a lot for this content, i would be very interrested to know also, as a retrospectiv, your feeling about the add of " curse-bless " mechanic in the game. Do you use it a lot? do you enjoy it? what do you think about the integration in AH lcg compare to others AH games serie ? Still thx for your great work.

I want to see you make an underworld support Jim deck!

But Justin, we already have a horror version of Bandages, it's called Grimm's Fairy Tales

Blur on Kymani seems like it would be good or even great.

What do you think of Cyclopean Hammer's ranking with the new taboo list?

Are you following your heart of hearts or not? Make up your mind!

I have a question based on something that you mentioned a lot in this video. If the card pool is so big that players aren't afraid of what the game can throw at them anymore, then what kinds of things are there that still cause players to lose?

Welcome!

Pocket Telescope is the most Broken card in the entire game. I'll die on this hill. Chances are on any randomly picked scenario, this card wrecks a well crafted mechanic designed to impede you.

Hey Justin Where do you get this list of all the cards as shown in the video where you drag them on to the tiers? Thanks 😃

How would you rate this against a set like Dunwich or Carcosa when it comes to introducing new staple cards for your decks?

For me as a noob, I really dont get, why all the cards like Dauntless spirit are ranked so low. Don't they give probably at least 2-3 or more icons, what is good? Please enlighten me

With Winds of Power, can you use it to add stuff like Secrets or Ammo? Or does it NEED to say "Charges" on the asset?

Haven't watched the whole video yet, but I'm really surprised that Unearth the Ancients is rated so low. Just pretend that the relic clause isn't on the card, don't try so hard to get it, and treat it as a card that gives you 1-2 actions, 3-4 resources and a clue. The economy and action compression of this card is actually insane. I don't mean this offensive and this is a serious question, but have you actually tried the card? Because I was sceptical at first when I saw it, but after trying it I can see how crazy good this card is. The only downside is that it costs 2 XP in an XP-hungry class, but if you need the economy, this is one of the best options.

To me Enchanted Bow is hot garbage. I haven't seen any investigators, especially in the survivor mystic pool, that do not use hand slots and do not use arcane slots either. And if you are a character that doesn't use those slots, do you really want to use it for something that deals 2 damage on exhaust? For 2 experience???

"At this point, Jim is dead" 🥲
