Thorough Inquiry · ArkhamDB

I really like this card. I view it as a "buy one preposterous sketches, get one free". While 5 is not double 3, you should take into account the fact that in each case you are spending 1 card to do this. Better yet, you can share those cards with your team. The cost savings is great since you'll probably want to be playing all those cards you just drew.

Thorough Inquiry: 2r, 2a -> net +4 cards

Preposterous Sketches: 2r, 1a -> net +2 cards

There are other draw events that save you resources but they either cost XP or add curses:

Deep Knowledge: 0r, 1a -> net +2 cards + 2 curses

Cryptic Research: 0r, 0a, 4xp -> net +2 cards

Preposterous Sketches: 0r, 1a, 2xp -> net +2 cards

What is easily overlooked are the icons: a +2 to two different skills on a level 0 card is rare. — AlderSign · 387 6/17/24

Two different _relevant_ skills! For most seekers with no intention of fighting this basically amounts to copy 3 and 4 of Unexpected courage with a nice alternate effect if you can spare the resources and the actions. The last part is probably the most inconvenient, since unlike main-fighters you're not often in a position where your actions are not that useful, but sometimes getting the fighter more cards in hands is valuable. Nice card, all around. — tinybreeder · 29 1/23/25

I am absolutely loving this card in my Parallel Roland deck. Both versions of Roland's deckbuilding can take it, and Red Tape makes it a fast play (so it only costs one action), which makes it just about the largest quantity draw in the game... and one action, two resources, and one card in return for five cards is also just profitable.

In my experience my hand was usually at its limit, so I just commit it just for its symbols. — Tharzax · 1 1/30/25

Question about this card: If paired with Double, Double, then am I correct that the second instance of Thorough Inquiry would cost an additional 2 resources AND an additional (one) action because of the clause on the card "As an additional cost to play Thorough Inquiry, spend an action"?

If yes, then you would need to have 3 actions available to play a Double, Double'ed Thorough Inquiry.

(also, I'm not sure where to post questions on ArkhamDB. If I'm not supposed to ask questions in reviews, then please tell me where I can post questions. Thanks!) :)

Usually ArkhamDB is not best place to ask questions. Better ask them on the discord server mythos buster. But for your question yes you need to pay the extra action if you repeat any double event with double double — Tharzax · 1 4/21/25

I think it’s fine to ask rules questions here. It’s public and easily referenced by future players. And the review filtering will elevate generally useful reviews to the top while leaving questions like this inconspicuously visible for those who might find themselves in a similar quandary sometime later. — Eudaimonea · 5 4/21/25

Thank you @Tharzax for confirming my understanding. And thank you @Eudaimonea for your response. I too think that questions that are pertinent to how a card works can be helpful to players trying to understand how this card works. Especially for folks not familiar with the Mythos Buster discord server (like myself). I'll check it out. — VanyelAshke · 181 4/21/25
