As for Confiscated Lore: it costs an action which means you will either forfeit a shot or a Burn Them Out which is huge.

Yes, but if you choose your list to play around that so she runs a good support role while throwing out damage when needed, once she is up far enough with 3 actions, I think setting up your opponent for a bad few draws or tossing out their next 2 or 3 high cards is worth it.  I think that if I had to choose between throwing two attacks relying on my card draw (possibly cheat) or one attack and I could manipulate their draw so they need to cheat or worse yet a black joker, I would go for the later unless I certainly had good cards already in my hand.  Guild doesnt have much in terms of card draw if I am right, so card denial to our opponent is pretty good espeically when you play the psychologic game.

I am really looking forward to the title optional rules....but

I hate to be that guy. Isn't Confiscated Lore a little over the top?  Sure it is a once per activation action, but it only needs a 5 of any suit and then 2 really nice triggers.

Then there is the 5 card shenanigans.  how easily to set up an opponent to draw lowcards for the next few duels or conveniently place that black joker, or discard the red joker. An action that doesn't even require any LOS or range it just happens with a 5.  Alot of people were grumbling about Zoraidas ability to look at one card but that needed LOS to a cheating enemy model.

Seriously if my opponent drops that Sonnia on the board I don't think I will continue playing knowing that every turn they will be able to dictate my card draw for up to 5 cards (5 duels or actions).  3 would be more reasonable or at least needing a suit or to forefill a requirement like Zoraida. 

I hope that the other masters have similar WOW abilities.  Just feels OP to me.

You can, but if they have a parasite token you can count them as the friendly model and so end a condition on them.

Yes, this is true.  I don't think I want to play a mirror match with Nexus.  That would be crazy.  And if someone brings alon A Bandersnatch and Grootslang...ohh fun times.

Notable Observations:

• Meredith can Rancid Transplant Fast or Focused off enemy models with Parasite Tokens and onto your own. Or Focused from Eyes and Ears

 

Unless I am misreading the card, you can Rancid Transplant on any enemy model, they don't need to have a parasite token.

Happy Birthday Wyrd and I hope that 2021 will be much kinder and rewarding to you then 2020 was.  Live long and prosper.

Melissa only just got her first sculpt released about two months ago, so I wouldn't set your hopes too high just in case.

Ahh that makes sense.  I thought I read something about it.  Thank you for clarifying.  That way I can focus on ordering other things.

I am stoked for the sale only releases.  Has anyone heard about an alternate sculpt for Mellisa CORE?  Thanks.

Everything but this years Grumpus is available for sale as well. You have the options of purchase, or getting free at X. 

 

That is reassuring.  Was looking forward to this to buy the Candy and Baby Cade as well.  Will help towards getting the Grumpus model.

I am eagely awaiting the Black Friday sale to order Cade and Candy since there are no brick and mortar shops selling Malifaux in my region and the company I regularly buy from could not confirm if they could verify any purchases. 

Wohoo, that looks really interesting.  Love the Calypso model.

Oh wow.  I didnt realize that they were so high.  Thanks for pointing that out.   Now I feel better.

I dont want to sound like a negative Nancy but are the points normal for a Master and the Totem to be that high together?  A total of 20 points seems really high.  Are there many other Master/totems with a total cost similar to this?  I thought they were generally around 17 or 18.  In any case I am glad to see them.
