This guy has always seemed too expensive to me. Only one icon, low skill. So his value HAS to be in his special ability then? Only it's not good enough I think to redeem him. Extra cards don't grow on trees unless maybe you're in a dual faction deck with Miskatonic. It does let you discard multiple cards for a bigger discount which most discount cards don't do and that's nice for surprises, but he still seems a little under the curve to me or at least reserved for ST/Misk decks.

maybe some
Ritual of the Construct (TOotST)
based deck with MU could use him nicely, especially with new MU box having many expandable characters that let you draw or discard some cards like

College Prospect (SoK)
Campus Security Guard (SoK)
Alternative Historian (SoK)
and ST loves sacrificing/discarding of its own stuff
He has a potential to make some nice, strong 2nd turn play but needs some really nice draw or maybe bouncing of opponents cards that uses domains to even character count, some opponents hand discard and this ability to trade card advantage for characters in play...

In theory he can bring any cost ST character in 2nd turn, but the price seems not worth it...

He seems to have some potential for being important in a deck based around card count manipulation, but i don't know how strong would it be.
