Dedicated Butler, Unbound!, Wealthy Sponsor, and similar cards all make me ask the following question: did the game designers play test ST before they actually released the ST box? If so, was ST actually competitive during their play testing? I don't know if the rest of us are just missing something that the game designers knew, but a card like Dedicated Butler should've never seen the light of day.
A 0-cost character with a penalty? That's fine, assuming he makes up for the penalty somehow. One arcane icon and shuffling one card back in the deck, and he's not even a member of the Lodge? Really?
I applaud the designers trying to go a different route, exploring discard and sacrificing to feed ST's rituals, or guys like Mayor Atkinson who like playing with an empty hand, but this experiment failed. As a result, about one-third of ST's cards are useless. Such a shame.
