Great, more toolbox clutter. It wasnt clutter last night, believe me. I would have given my eye-teeth for a couple MORE investigations, it may have won me the tourney. Tim and the guys told us the reason they made Plots thier own classification of card is because they were so easy to get rid of in 1ed. Now, it makes it worthwhile to play Plots. Also, each part of a Plot now has its own in game action (like Cat & Mouse), so Plots have become a lot more inviting to play now. With deck sizes between 44 and 75 cards, decks are going to be MUCH tighter in thier theme, and I think cards like Investigation wont be so much "clutter" as "necessity".

My point was that, in addition to police, holy ground, focus, etc, we now have to stock Investigation. This effectively reduces the "tightness" of your deck. As you say, they are now a necessity. Don't get me wrong, I like that plots are more playable (in theory, at least--the liking, not the playability), but another toolbox card (defensive) means one less building block (offensive) card for each copy included in your deck (if you are like me and you like to keep things tight to improve the probability of drawing what you need). It was really just an off the cuff statement. All in all, it looks like the game is more balanced than it was before. Of course, with each new set comes plenty of opportunity to break something .

I think Holy Ground must be a rare in this set, cause only 1 person drew one. And apparantly it has a cost. I paraphrase: Holy Ground - Event You avoid all attacks this round. You lose 2 ability.
