doc Today we have another amazingly powerful card; the rare Arcanist tactic Eccentric Inquisition.

How would you like to have up to 7 more cards in hand on turn 2? How would you like to prevent your opponent from playing those same cards? Play an Obsession on both turn one and two and this little beauty does just that! For a cost of 2 with an Obsession heavy threshold of 4, this card opens up more options than you can build into any deck.

Reveal the top 7 cards of your opponent’s deck and remove all tactics from the game. Non-tactics are placed at the bottom of their deck in the order you choose. Tactics removed by this card (and by this card only, not by Swashbuckler or any other means) are now an extension of your hand. For the rest of the game, they sit there waiting for you to need them. But what if they have threshold in a trade you’re not playing? Simple…ignore it! That’s right; all you have to do it pay the cost. (Doesn’t Jackmove cost 0?)

Since it’s tactics that you have to worry about when it comes to your opponent responding to your actions, and tactics are the prime source of character removal, even if you never play one of them it’s worth keeping them out of your opponent’s hand. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: This is a game of options. If you have more than your opponent, you’re going to win.

In limited, 4 threshold is always a draw back. In constructed, this card alone is worth having 18 Obsession in your deck!

Limited: 3.5/5
Constructed: 4.5/5
