The best time to play all events is just after opponent commits, so she can limit that quite well. All those events where you react to what opponent does and hit the weakest link.
I don't see how to work around it other than not playing those cards or not using domains, both options mean she's done her job.
Also there are many effects/events you want to fire in opponents turn, but need to pay drain cost. If opponent has her in play committing to stories and playing events in opponents turn becomes so much harder.

COCLCG had nice synergy with her
Er'nrawr (SoK)
and some other cards in his deck if i recall correctly.
(Might be totally wrong here, dont remember any specyfics)

With

Itinerant Scholar (Core)
it might be some really irritating domain choke.

But cost 3 is quite high, not sure its worth it without other synergies. And there are so many good cards to fight for the spot.

I included her into a Hastur-deck (Event focused, soMarcus Jamburg (WoP) wasn't that interresting ;)
). She brings Investigation and can keep away Black Dog (WoP)andMaster of the Myths (IT) by draining the domain and hinder the opponent defending a story.
But because of the 3cost she comes into play a bit late..(depending on opponents deck).
In general I like to play this character.
(Perhaps it would fit into a Hastur Servant charcters deck very well when gaining a T-icon by Moonbound Byakhee (TGS)?! I haven't tried out yet...but I think it could be interresting :))

Thank you. I supposed it would be meant this way.

I would rule it as - they go back on top of the deck, in the same order. It just says 'search the top 5 cards' so when you are done searching, they go back to their original state.

What happens to the 5 cards after searching them for a support card? Are they placed on top of the deck or bottom of the deck? In any order?
(Burglar Tools miss this info, too.)

Wow. This card is sweet. The relatively high cost of 3 is a benefit to the owner, because 1) you don't pay it to put it in play if you use it as a transient resource, and 2) it can increase the cost to destroy or remove it once it is attached to an opposing character.

Another option that I'm sure people have already thought of, but that I will add here just for documentation is Summon Spectral Hunter (TKatG)

In a Tesla deck I feel it has a lot of versatility. Not only can you use it as a 2-resource self destroy card, but you can also use it to get a few success tokens onto Tesla if you for whatever reason are short on stuff to trigger in your discard pile. You also have the option of using on enemy characters to lower skill/and or destroy things that also plays with success tokens.

Im unsure about the timings on this, so perhaps it wouldn't work, and even if it does,it absolutely is not the easiest way of destroying Tesla, but what if you used Shocking Transformation (Core) on Living Mummy (Core)?

Again, I'm rather doubtful of how well this works due to timing of things, but it could be potentially be useful due to being able to both put wounds on your opponents as well as fetching another character all while getting Nikola Tesla destroyed. Perhaps it would be worthwhile

Describe your loop idea. I don't see a loop here.

You can pay 2 and play this to return ichtian character in play to owners hand... Useful for cards like
Professor Nathaniel Peaslee (TKatG)
But in general kinda useless.

When in discard pile you can put it at the bottom of your deck to discard X cards from top of any deck.

With 2 Ychtians it can discard 2 cards. If you manage to get 2 of those in your discard, and have the 3td one as the last card of your deck, and have 2 ichtians in discard pile, you can get infinite discard of opponents deck by triggering 1st, getting it on the back of the deck then triggering second on your deck and discarding 2 for looping purpose.

But this kind of loop is completely useless IMO as conditions are impossible to meet, maybe you have some better interaction in mind...

Can this card make an infinite loop by itself and 2 yithian cards in your discard pile???. If the card can make or not. Why???. Thank you

Yes, and she's in the perfect faction too since MU has more access to card draw than anyone else. A very annoying character to see across the table.

I want to try him in a Atlantis Prophecy deck. Just cancel everything.

So useful in any MU deck.

The backbone of every explorer deck. Give willpower to every explorer and draws cards. Crazy good.

I think you're correct badash, but for a slightly different reason: if Richard Pike is insane, he will have no text box, and therefore no ability to trigger. It must be a Disrupt in order to work.

It would also be handy if you were playing against Agency. Even without the response, it's a good stash of icons for the cost, plus 1 skill and immunity! Compare Hired Mystic.

Well, that bumps it up a notch. Maybe it's time to build another MU deck and try it out. And if my opponent plays MU I can use it to drag his guys to their deaths just as well as shuffle mine around since it doesn't say "that you control". :)

It's only "restore" though, not "restore and ready", but there are enough characters that benefit just from getting their text back. Use it with Lunatics.
