BanalityBob - 3/5 - It’s a cheap-ish avatar, and that alone warrants the rating. His investigation icon and ability are icing, and using new Nyarly to pop him unopposed to a story will get three success tokens. He’s not a terrible body on his own, although he’s not good by a long stretch, and his ability can put a stop to some shenanigans in a pinch. Overall, a pretty good but not phenomenal character that helps fill in a gap in a new archetype.
Danigral - 3/5 - Ankou will end up being as good as Nyarlathotep’s engine. The investigation unopposed using Nyarlathotep may make this a great combo, especially when you can play Nyarlathotep turn 1 if you get Handmaid/Ankou/Nyarly. He is also a huge threat to any decks that revolve on discard recursion strategy (Mi-Go, Yithian Scouts-mill/sac combo,
dboeren - 2/5 - Right now he’s only that useful with Nyarlathotep and it remains to be seen whether that’s worth anything. His ability would have been useful against the Yithians a year ago, but currently isn’t anything too exciting. Could go up though..
Kamacausey - 3/5 - I really like this guy because he gives us a character with an ability that is useful. While not overly impressive stat wise, you're mostly going to be playing him for the ability anyway. This guy will def see some play. The fact that he's an avatar and works with the new nyarlathotep is just a bonus.
mnBroncos - 2/5 - Will be very strong in some matchups but awful in others. Also, it isn’t win succeed at a story only win you win a story with him so it may happen to late in this strong matchups to late. I think will be tried in some games but don’t think good enough overall to be a real strong card in current meta.
Reckoner - 3/5 - If the Nyarlathotep engine is a thing this will see play. As a solo character outside of that engine, he is only ok. There are better and cheaper ways to nuke your opponent’s discard pile and many far better 3 cost neutrals.
