With 42 cards to spare, this is barely a speedbump in Patrice's deck. It commits for agility, which might come in handy at times. It lets you handle pesky cultists quickly and efficiently to possibly offset an agenda flip. The best pay off for it though? It's an auto evade of the Watcher from Another Dimension. Sure, you place the doom on it, but that gets immediately discarded when the Watcher does. It's an easy button for your weakness.

So, here we have a card which gives you basicly "free action" for 2 resource if you can succeed on evade check reliably. Especially if you are playing with Kymani, then you can just ignore your monster and start doing your things, easily evaded the monster and then kill it with ability (And maybe some boost).

There are three main changes to Abandoned and Alone -> (Advanced):

1. 3 horror instead of 2.
2. Doesn't remove weaknesses from the game.
3. If nothing is removed, shuffle it into your deck instead of taking horror.

The first is rather obvious in impact, and will usually be the most relevant. The second mostly means you can't cheese away other weaknesses and is bad, but primarily relevant if you're cycling through your deck again.

The third is actually somewhat mixed. With the original Abandoned and Alone, if you had an empty deck you would keep drawing it over and over until you die. Including the horror from drawing from an empty deck, that's 3 horror every turn. Given that it also removes cards from your deck from the game, it could result in an accelerated death spiral. Unlikely, but possible. With this version, if you never have anything to remove, it always shuffles back into your deck with no effect. You'll therefore never draw from an empty deck again, which also means not seeing your other weaknesses again. It will still eat up a draw, though.

Of course, if you have either Wendy's Amulet|(Advanced) in play, all your events will get shuffled back regardless, so you could simply cycle through some number of events over and over, never again drawing any weakness already. And if you hit the original early, you could get away with exiling nothing but weaknesses. This one you can't avoid that way.

Overall, significantly worse, harder to cheese, but you can possibly delay taking the horror indefinitely if you need to (by having nothing your discard pile). The question is: Is that worth being able to play non-top events via the advanced Wendy's Amulet?

I am a bit underwhelmed with this card. I have been playing a Kymani Jones deck for the last few sessions and have only once gotten value out of the Grappling Hook as an asset. Action compression does exist, but I feel the 3 resource cost is a bit steep for something that I will likely not use. The investigation with agility is helpful, but lets be honest, we probably have our picks or thieves tools out anyway... I have used the icons on the card though. They line up wonderfully for the evade elimination schtick...

Maybe if it was fast I would be more upbeat on it.

Ability : well representation of class. spending hand to do something. You will need quite some tutor power to run this card. which is generally stuffs.

Name : Idolising Thanatos, the god of death. seem quite cultism and to me. but yeah, good variety.

Interpretation : wearing a necklace should not physically tank you anything. Just your blind faith toward Xanatos give you confident to lucky dodge some hit and strong mind enough for some horror. Obsidian Bracelet should be the interpreted same way, just my opinion.

The weight of them was reassuring
