Kingsley - 3/5
Solid but unexceptional repeat card draw. Compared to Forgotten Library or Funeral Pyre, this one grants extra province strength but it reveals the card to the opponent, and in situations where you can't play the card it ends up not profiting you anything.
 
I Fight Dragons – 3/5
As far as holdings go, this is lukewarm at best. Some of your cards out of the core set are decently situational and can end up just sitting on top of your deck for the entire phase. If you don’t end up using the card you flip, you’ve actually benefitted your opponent because they now know a card you drew in the next turn. Extra cards are good, but Artisan Academy isn’t quite as good as other clan holdings that generate economy.
 
nyxnyxnyx - 5/5
Essentially a poor man’s version of Funeral Pyre (Crab) and Forgotten Library (Phoenix) but will still be played for lack of a better option in-clan.
 
Grendel - 3/5
It’s CA if you can play the card otherwise your drawing it next turn.
 
Benjoewoo – 3/5
Having mechanical access to more cards than your opponent is generally good. So, a holding giving you that kind of access should be at worst somewhere between neutral to good. Artisan Academy is an alternate/slightly better version of the storehouse, so you’ll probably play it out of core if you planned to run storehouse in the first place. This will definitely be replaced as better card access options come out, even if those cards come in the form of characters as opposed to other holding choices.

Hello,

 

Could I have some clarification on the how long the reveal part of the action lasts for?

 

On the newer card, Pillow Book, it states that the length of reveal is until the end of the conflict.

 

This card just says reveal, so I my mind it is one of two things:

1) The card remains revealed (faceup) on top of your deck until you draw or play it

2) The card is revealed only during the action and then goes back facedown, but you can still play it at any point of the conflict phase so long as it remains the same card (i.e. if you draw it, you cant play the next top card)

 

Is either of those correct? I've been playing it as point 1 but I am not so sure after reading pillow book.

 

Thanks

I know this is late, but it's the first option. You can play the card as long as you are in the conflict phase.

 

The holding itself is a bad forgotten library. But even a bad forgotten library is still a playable card.
