Love it. A hands-free 2-damage attack that costs no resources!

When you're fighting with a limited-ammo weapon (Flamethrower sais hi!) or your name is Randall Cho then the ability to save a bullet and finish off a foe with a punch is very useful.

Anybody with a high fight stat can make routine good use of this thing (Mark Harrigan for example). Another clutch use is when youre playing an expensive build and want a cheap attack (Roland Banks decks routinely burn a lot of money) or if you have a conditional weapon (Machete).

You can use this to supplement a Vicious Blow as a means of accessing extra damage with unarmed attacks, or you can layer the two for a straight up 3 damage attack.

Also Yes I've realized I've confused Randall and Nathaniel, too late to stop now!

This thing is super expensive for an attack that deals 1 damage (Hey Randall Cho, I have a card for you!). That said, teleporting an enemy to you is GREAT, even if the attack misses!

-Use it to pull an enemy that you're having trouble engaging. -Use it to pull an enemy off-of an ally. -Use it to control positioning, which might be good in some scenarios. -Use it to cover a point of damage when your weapon deals awkward increments of damage (I,E, when you need to kill a 5-hp enemy with a 2-damage weapon and the enemy is'nt at your location).

Not a terrific card, but it's got enough versatility to be useful.

1 Free reactionary attack. No bonus damage or anything. It's pretty clutch when it's good, but that "good" opportunity Window is rather narrow.

You might have to engage a 3 or 5 health opponent with a 2-damage weapon, and rely on Counterpunch to finish them off.

The only obvious combo is Randall Cho, for anybody else this is probably something that gets cut in deckbuilding.

Smash, gain money.

Brilliant if you have a high base stat and are doing lots of fighting anyway.

While I wouldnt replace Emergency Cache just yet, I can imagine taking this in a deck alongside Emergency Cache to buff up the finances of a deck. Imagine taking Stand Together as well, all of a suddent the faction is kinda rich, which is exactly what they've been needing for the longest time.

The case for not taking this is basicly the fact that failed actions can be a liability. If you'dd only be fighting at 4 while using this card then I absolutely dont see it as being a must-have.

This is a non-spectacular workhorse (well, it's spectacular in Nathaniel Cho) that will be a rather useful addition to many characters from now on.

ALMOST as good as Safeguard, but not quite, but 1 saved move near every turn past the point of playing this card is fantastic. There IS a little bit of tricky rules text though that ensure that you'll eventually want the upgrade.

Movement is king in many scenarios of Arkham and the ability to have a buddy cheuffeur you in and out of locations can be mind-blowingly clutch. At the end of a scenario you might have 10, 12 saved moves from ths one card, and that's just insanely good.

DO keep in mind this MAJOR rules text difference between Safeguard and Safeguard:

• The move on this version happens -after- a friend moves, this means that unlike the 2xp version, enemies at that location will still engage your friend rather than yourself. This, of course, is a HUGE issue and is single-handedly the balancing factor that makes this a good card, but not an autotake.

That said, I do recommend this thing, it's good, but it does cost 2 resources, a rather hefty price for the resource starved faction, and obviously, it's best played in a big 4-man team, it'd be fine in 3-man, but I wouldnt play it in 2-man unless you're playing a "Beef & Brains" sorta specialist team.
