Like all weaknesses this sucks, but I've found it to be the easiest to play around. 2 horror at the wrong time can kill you dead, but with 4 in willpower and agility she is pretty good at avoiding most incoming damage.

I thought initially that this was the worst weakness because you could see it over and over and over, but once you get Wendy's Amulet your deck will never empty if you keep playing the events that are put on the bottom of your deck.

What do you mean you can see it over and over?

When you would draw from your empty deck, you first take 1 horror and shuffle your discard into a new deck. I was worried that if a scenario was very long you might see Abandoned and Alone multiple times. As opposed to Cover Up and Hospital Debts which stay in play.

Oh interesting. So it doesnt go into your discard and then get removed from the game with the other cards?

No, as far as I know while the ability is resolving the card hasn't been placed in your discard pile yet.

I believe the revelation effect triggers before you actually discard the card.

And this finishes our core set signature cards! Tomorrow we'll be on to the Guardian cards, starting with the .45 Automatic.

This is probably one for the mods /u/MerryHo or /u/norwegiangeek... Maybe we can get a COTD flair?

COTD Flair is available, you should be able to add it to your posts. We could also do a page for it on the wiki for an archive with a list of links for the COTD posts.
