BanalityBob - 1/5 - Holy board disadvantage, Batman! While Silver Twilight can spawn cheap characters like Rich Widow, I’m not sure how much you actually want to, especially when the payoff is a card that is dependant on a random reveal off of the top of your deck and returning your board state to your hand.
Danigral - 1/5 - I’m not saying that this will never, ever possibly be good - it can still, for example, refresh BRB or bounce back Jeffrey or other characters with enters play abilities - but it’s random and you have to have characters on the board for it to work. It seems like ST is kind of centered around 3 cost as the sweet spot, so I don’t think something like this would be worth bouncing 3 characters to your hand to put 1 out. It won’t be worth the loss of board position and the cost to pay to put them back out.
dboeren - 1/5 - Yikes! This is just super expensive for most uses and not worth the one-in-a-million scenario where it’s going to be exactly what you needed. Plus, only a minority of ST characters (and none in your partner faction) are Lodge anyway.
Kamacausey - 1/5 - Another useless faction location....
mnBroncos - 1/5 - Silver Twilights return to hand effects like this are always going to be the worst card ever until some weird combo comes out that breaks the game.
Reckoner - 1/5 - If ST had a game-ending, world-shattering bomb, I would probably still not use this card to cheat it into play. Board position is incredibly important in the game right now and this card wrecks that.

I mostly agreed with the above analysis on this card until I was looking for the perfect card to fill the final two slots of my mono-ST deck.  Lo and behold, this card was that perfect fit.  I never thought I'd say it, but I'm excited to try out Garden District!  Here's my deck for anyone who is curious.

I really wish more people had done/would do this, especially for these "how could this possibly be useful" type cards.  Thanks for posting!
