The core seeker cards are very asset-heavy, and most use hand slots. I would not be surprised to see Archivist being auto-include in seeker decks going forward. Rotation means they won't be changing that long-term.
IDK why, but the FAQ about her interaction with Nephthys really confuses me. The answer states that you haven't paid the cost, but it feels like you have. Intuitively, it seems like the cost was paid, then in an entirely different area replaced with an alternative effect. I know the FAQ is correct, but out of curiosity, does anyone know the rule this references?
the trigger is 'when you WOULD remove..'. The tokens are never removed, they are sealed instead.

Hm. I guess I just see it differently. From how I read it, the tokens WERE removed. Rather, the action of removing tokens was taken. Its just that that action was later transformed by a different affect.

This does also raise two questions. One, does this count as your one activation per turn of this affect? You didn't pay the cost, so did you activate the ability? Can you use this to put all blessing tokens onto Nephrys? It just seems weird that you can pay the cost for an ability (Or at least pay something, if not the cost) without resolving its effect. Second, does this apply to something like [Smoking Pipe] and [Spectral Shield]? Is the 1 damage cost of it <Smoking pipe> really paid if it is cancelled by the shield<Spectral Shield>?

I do not understand why this upgrade costs 3XP. It just adds one clue (and some icons). Why is it so expensive ? The effect is nice, but for 3 XP, it could cost less resources or give maybe even more clues.
It is done to gate this event to be Rogue exclusive: why would they gate it when you need to have high agility or be good to evading to even use it, is beyond me, especially when the more accesible level 0 version loses HARD to Working a Hunch

Comparable to chapter 1's knife.
Still neutral, still 1 resource. Discarding no longer gets you a useful +2 to hit, but you don't decide until after you hit.
Is it a card you would ever include in a deck if you have access to any other method of dealing with enemies? No.
Is it a card-shaped piece of cardboard if you need to proxy something? Yes.
Do we need 10 copies? Not unless something happened to the rest of your cards.
The first part is nearly as good as the magnifying glass (this is not fast), and anyone can use it.
The second part discards for a -1, tempoarily. Lose the card, but potentially set your teammates up. Maybe yourself, but that would need a weird situation. I think the old compass (survivor) is the only card that combos with this right now, so you would only get to -2 total, but that can get you to a 0 difficulty, or make sure you fail by -2 or less on a 4 shroud location for Look What I Found.
Worth it? Maybe. Need 10 copies for 4 players? No.
