The Usual Suspects

 

Danigral - 1 out of 5. Why does one of the wanted posters have a chick with a hood? Or is it Lego-hair? The guy to the left of her has Lego-hair too. Like the 80’s lego dudes. I love lego. Anyway, what non-uniques could this possibly make a difference for? Ya-te-veo? ummmm, serpents? Interrogator and Crooked Cop? Not worth it pretty much ever. If you really want a conspiracy, choose a better one.

 

mnBroncos - 3 out of 5. Free so can turn on conspiracy effects easily. Has the struggles that Agency wants to deal with. Also great for heavy unique character deck being able to turn off your opponent effects.

 

Obtuse - 1 out of 5. So...what cards is this useful against? The wording is strange. Upon first examination I thought perhaps it would protect against strong enter play cards like Many Angled Thing, Constricting Elder Thing, Grasping Cthonian...but that doesn’t seem to be how it works.

 

livingend 1 out of 5 - The most breathtaking aspect of this card is that there are 8 wanted posters in the art and the story takes 8 success tokens to win. Outside of that there is not much going on with The Usual Suspects. An effect so fringe it might as well be blank… and no terror struggle I guess? Verdict: I just realized there’s a ninth wanted poster in the bottom right corner of the artwork. So much for the remedying factor.

 

WWDrakey & Ire - 2 out of 5. Well, it’s not useless, but the benefits tend to be quite rare. On the other hand, unlike some Conspiracies (like the Guardian) it’s hard for your opponent to rush through (due to icons and needing 8 success tokens), in order to remove it or make it bite you back, so it does have staying power… and you can combine it yourself with Come the Dreamtime to make your success tokens here count a bit more.
