What happens when you purchase this card? I mean your deck size is suddenly increased by 5, so you immidiately lack 5 cards in your deck. Can you just take five lvl 0 cards for free, or do you have to buy them?

Could be excellent with the just announced toolbelt from the Scarlet Keys. The toolbelt may blank the textbox of the item,but it doesnt remove the icons.
It does depend on what the tool icons are,of course.
Seems like most view this as a trap, but I feel that, with the correct setup, this card can be much more powerful.
Leveled up sign magick and dexter make this card and it's upgrade much more powerful by mitigating it's main downsides: Action consumption to keep using, resource cost to play (though the upgrade does away with that anyway), spell slot and Action economy to play. While you could say sign magic makes every spell card good, this card gets massively buffed compared to other spells as it is one that can always prove useful. You may not be at a location to fight, evade, or investigate, but getting a free resource cache on a test most mystics can pass anyway seems worth it to me. I shall be putting this in a Dexter deck to test how effective it is long term as compared to uncage the soul and supply cache (as all 3 are resource fixers).
I'm trying to build a rich parallel "Skids" O'Toole deck and at the beginning of the campaign this card is interesting: if I have no copy of A Glimmer of Hope I test 3 against 1 for a benefit (if the test succeeds) of 1, with a single copy I test 4 against 2 for a benefit of 2, with 2 or 3 copies I test 5-6 against 3 for a benefit of 3.
And once I have all 3 copies in my discard pile, each round I spend an action and 1 resource to get the 3 copies back to my hand and then test 6 against 3 for 3 resources. A benefit of 2 so not as great as an Emergency Cache.
But if the whole deck revolves around getting resources to have bonuses, The Black Fan gives a passive +1 and I have to pay to retrieve A Glimmer of Hope less often.
Question : when I take control Francis Morgan (with the ability of the act "all in"), we don't discard clues on him. Can I use these clues to play Forewarned ? Can I take them into account when I play "I've got a plan" ?? Thx
