This card. This freaking card. Hey, did you know that its triggered ability isn't a skill check, so symbol tokens revealed for it don't weaken Seal of the Seventh Sign? And that, as a result, while the token is sealed, there's no risk involved in activating it?

Yeah. This card is far more powerful than they probably intended if there's a Mystic on your team. Even without the ability (because relying on that ability without any chaos bag manipulation is ... not a good idea), a 2 cost story asset that doesn't take up any slots for 3 soak is a fairly strong reward. But the moment you add any chaos bag manipulation, even just a Premonition, Grotesque Statue, or Olive McBride to let you use it once for free, you're getting a massive tempo advantage. And if you actually do the Seal of the Seventh Sign combo I alluded to above, you can use it to take care of the last two health of every enemy that shows up forever... or at least until the skill checks being done to advance the investigation break the Seal.

Of course, that does leave the issue of actually finding the dang thing in its side scenario, since, of course, it's a story asset...

Currently playing return to forgotten age with William and Trish. We played the blob after the second scenario and William got the small blob. I must say, it's totally OP!

Not being eaten (avoiding autofail)

• Nightmare Bauble
• Seal of the Seventh Sign
• Jacqueline Fine at your location
• Curse and bless tokens make it less likely

Making it smaller (Remove ressources on it)

• Kill it (example: Solemn Vow) and return it with A Chance Encounter or Williams ability
• Calling in Favors to return it to your hand

Other combos

• Solemn Vow to heal damage on others
• Search for it with Calling in Favors or Flare
• Smoking Pipe to heal your own horror

Side note, Calvin likes trauma so does he like being eaten by it?

I believe that Favor of the Moon and Favor of the Sun combos with this little being too.

You get 1 risk-free symbol per Favor you have out - and if it's Moon you even get a free resource!

I'm starting to get the impression that the Favors are going to break many mechanics since they can be used in non-skill test scenarios (for another example Henry Wan) to guarantee not pulling a mean symbol while also not losing the token from the Favor (since, as far as I know, and tokens only go back to the pool when resolved during a skill test).
