Typical combo card. If this doesn't make you want to build a Rube Goldberg machine to extract the maximum value out of it, this is probably not meant for you.

On a less judgy note, I would guess you want an investigator with 4 or 5 to make this funny complicated Not-.45 Automatic/Not-.32 Colt work. That would suggest Tony, Leo or Zoey. Possibly Dexter just for his ability to get it out with the text on the front of his card. Either way, I know you can increase your number of actions per turn to 5 or more, but I don't know of a way to get access to cards like Will to Survive along with Cold Vest Pocket. Sadly, I prefer my cards to be humorless and efficient.

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. His fangs can't bite what his eyes can't see. Now you see me, now you don't. Yig thinks he will, but I know he won't.”

In a pure horror game, Nathaniel would be ridiculous. But Arkham is Pulp Horror, and pulp is ruled by the mean right hook.

In terms of similarities, Nathan has a similar card draw to Mark (assuming you get your gloves out), and a damage potential surpassing Zoey. NaCho loves punching enemies, and if you’re playing right, a great deal of your deck will help you do that. Unlike some of the investigators, your weakness can be solved with your greatest strength, it will just take longer. (Hopefully you have some instant damage and a 1-2 punch, or someone to evade Tommy Malloy.)

With a little creativity and a deep understanding of the action phases of the game, Nathaniel goes from cool to superlative. Not only can he do bonus damage in the investigator phase, he can counter-punch during the enemy phase, play a fast attack (get over here!) during upkeep, and Ambush during mythos. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to do that every turn, but in a three or four player game, those extremely tough bosses become viable to defeat. If you get your draws, Nathan is like having another half of a guardian. When you don’t, things are going to get rough. With your gloves taking up both hands, either hope for bandolier so you can add another weapon, or rely on vicious blows.

Handcuffs can help you fill the gap. Like most guardians, you weren’t going to be hitting the books for clues, and your evasion isn’t superb. But sometimes, it’s easier to put someone on ice. Especially Malloy.

There’s nothing like going one on one with an Elder God, or throwing dynamite with that plus one damage aplomb. Go the distance with Nathaniel, you’ll be glad you did.

This card is very useful in a few cases:

The first is if you get rewards from searching your deck, like any research power. Mandy, Daisy, Minh, all of them benefit from putting astounding revelations back into their deck. Every time you use quantum flux, you’re giving yourself six resources later in the session. If you’re Luke, this is a great way to keep your gate box powered up by reupping enraptured.

Another is if you have a weakness or weaknesses that get shuffled back into your deck until your deck is very small. Sefina saves herself hit points and horror when she puts quantum flux in her deck.

The final case is anyone in Dunwich, which punishes you by trying to run out your deck.

One od the worst drsigned cards in the game. Treachery cards that gice you no recourse to deal with them are a design flaw. The other issue is that for some xharacters this us trivial, while it is an almost guaranteed defeat for others.

So, assuming that I'm correct, Joey can discard an Item asset from any Investigator in play anywhere, since unlike Sacrifice, it doesn't say "you control". UPDATE: Sacrifice has to specify "you control" since it's not a cost, unlike this card

This makes Joey a crazy money generator, being able to discard empty guns, spells, and Flashlights at any time in a very flexible way. And since it's not an exhaust, he doesn't have to hold back. Perfect for Tony Morgan who plays tons of guns, and - dare I say it - maybe even better than Leo De Luca.
