Note that unlike many abilities that are resolve when you reveal certain tokens during skill tests, Nihilism's Forced ability, as far as I understand it, occurs even if you reveal, cancel, or ignore tokens outside of skill tests.

This means that Nihilism's Forced ability would also occur when you reveal, cancel, or ignore 's during play of cards like Hypnotic Gaze, Voice of Ra, and also during certain location/agenda/treachery effects that don't involve tests (example: Clover Club Cardroom).

The Level-0 version of this card fills a weird, uncomfortable space, because, unlike its siblings Oops! and "Look what I found!", not every investigator wants to Evade. You either lean into it (like, say, Rita) or you just don't bother (most Guardians, but Leo for sure), and, while the last few cycles have made Evade a much more attractive option than in Core Set days, it's a "sometimes snack" for most investigators, so jankery around failing isn't so attractive. Besides, the effect, a one turn escape, was really situational, especially in Solo.

But... this card. The "fail within 3" makes it suddenly much more attractive as a clutch card for eligible low investigators. Outside of Patrice, who can't hold onto it for the perfect time, any other Survivor might want it for that annoying enemy which is hard to either Evade or Kill (I am looking at you, Conglomeration of Spheres. Moving the Enemy to the bottom of the Encounter Deck is a huge upgrade, since you are likely to avoid the Enemy for the rest of the scenario (although shuffling the Encounter Discard Pile into the Encounter Deck reduces the effectiveness a bit, and seems a bit more common in recent scenarios).

Outside of Survivor, who might like this? Agnes has better options for XP, while Tommy probably wants to hit (or get hit) rather than Evade, and I'm not sure Preston can land this often enough to be worth the XP. I think Minh might like it as a safety card, although she has a lot of other options.

I love how this card interacts with one of Finn Edwards best assets: Pickpocketing. You evaded an enemy and now you get a draw? Yaaay! Oh no, you got Caught Red-Handed. Not only do you lose the draw, your evade was wasted too. And since 90% there won't be another enemy near, Caught Red-Handed gets shuffled back into the deck. Awch!

Of course, the more people you play with, the more chance there is that there will be a hunter enemy at a connecting location. But even though I play most my games with 3, I've found that hunter enemies appear at connecting locations quite infrequently (since you want to kill those ASAP). And then you need to draw Caught Red-Handed at that exact moment to get rid of it.

I like (and hate) this weakness because it really makes you think whether it's truly worth risking that draw from Pickpocketing, especially if multiple enemies are exhausted. An easy way to get rid of this weakness is good old Mr. "Rook", being able to move away from the hunter enemy and exactly time drawing your weakness. However, it does take one of Finn's valuable Seeker/Survivor slots, and competes as an ally slot with the very important Peter Sylvestre (as Finn takes more horror than most with his low Willpower).

It’s unfortunate that much of Nathan’s deck is too niche to be used in anyone other than Nathan. Glory is the shining exception to that rule. Guardians have been absolutely starved of any card draw whatsoever- Seekers have tons, Rogues get it on oversuccess, Mystics have Arcane Initiate, and Survivors get it on failure. While Glory wont be enough to carry the class on its own, it’s a good step in the right direction. I personally see myself taking this in basically anyone that can take it and can reasonably kill enemies. Tony Morgan in particular now has a strong reason to choose Guardian as his subclass, where previously Survivor seemed to be the significantly better choice in terms of economy.

One of the least harmful investigator weaknesses in the game, if not the least harmful. It's comparable to Rex's Curse in that it only causes you to fail one test before you get rid of it. Two big differences though:

• You only get rid of Rex's Curse if you would've succeeded. Arrogance is removed even if you wouldn't have succeeded without Arrogance anyway.
• Arrogance isn't shuffled back into the deck after getting rid of it.

The only real annoyance is with all the "Succeed by X" cards, but that's a minor issue really. One Willpower test in the Mythos phase (which are plentiful) and you're already free from Arrogance. I really feel like they forget a sentence where it is shuffled back into your deck after getting rid of it (similar to Rex's Curse). Also would make it hurt more because Winifred Habbamock inherently draws a lot, making her lose valuable draws in the process.

UPDATE 17/09/2020: Fun interaction: while you must commit Arrogance to each skill test YOU perform, nothing prevents you from commiting it to other Investigators' skill tests. Have Stella in your team and this card literally becomes a joke.
