Can't decide if this is a good card or not.

On the one hand +1 political for 1 fate isn't great, especially in Unicorn.

On the other, drawing cards easily is nice, right?

But the first draw basically just gets it to a starting point of some sort of value, and as the draws are delayed till conflicts, I think even at 2 cards you've only really broken even with a card like Ornate Fan. You've got to get three draws out of this for it to be a strong play, and that means putting it on a character with Fate, which means even more eggs in one basket.

I'm feeling that this card might not actually be that good at all. Thoughts?

Assuming you get to draw one immediately (and why wouldn't you?) 1 Fate 0 Cards for +1 Pol is already ok-ish, similiar to what you usually get per fate (not considering the dynasty card cost, 1 Fate is usually around +1 skill).  1 Fate for +1 Card +1 Political is a pretty great trade I'd take anyday, so anything beyond that is just bonkers. Considering Unicorn has plenty of ways to make this card draw you twice a round, one gets *massive* value even out of two rounds of use (1 Fate for +1 Pol +3 Cards is crazy).

Extremely good with characters that you get to use twice. Dragons and Crabs with Mountain does not fall and every move effect. It's a great card, and among the reasons (the other being Captive Audience obviously) you'd like to splash Unicorn if you are not playing them

With the ruling on Ide Trader (Ide Trader triggers when he himself moves in to a conflict), Ide Trader became a one-man economic engine. I attach spyglasses to him because I'll be attaching favored mounts on him as well. Ide Trader alone can net you 4 fate/cards per turn (if you have the movement effects required) and 2 cards from spyglass. This is just too bonkers not to be an autoinclude in Unicorn. I find that Unicorn loses steam if you don't have a steady economy from Spyglasses and Ide Trader so this is a must for me. 5/5

I just read on another site that you could play Spyglass on an opponents character to possibly keep them from activating it since you would get the card draw benefit?

Excellent card. Gives you card draw, a bit of Political strenght, and lets you bid low and pressure opponent's honor. Easy to activate twice a round in Unicorn. Gaijin OP.

Yes indeed, the attachment is yours, not your opponent's, so YOU draw even if you don't control the character.
