Added P/T and changed the rules text wording.
Starting P/T? Also, you can't target in the additional cost
Reworked the flavor to work with haunt instead of dissect.
Redesigned the card and added haunt instead of dissect.
That is a lot a stuff to do at instant speed. Seems completely fine as a sorcery.
Huh. Draw, then loot, then draw. Or equivalently, draw 2, then red-loot. And usable for just double-draw if it's your last card.
Very flexible. Gonna make an opponents end-step kinda slow, sometimes. Maybe slightly too much to be common?
Makes sense to me - the mob boss engaging the PI as their patsy is a classic noir trope. As is the mob boss actually hiring the PI because they actually didn't do it this time and the police won't beleive them. As is stealing the memories of a couple of schoolgirls so you can use them as hitmen.
So the detective investigates the graverobbery done by your own swashbucklers?
I like the mechanic and its evocative name in particular. I'm looking forward to see how you explore it.
Are swashbucklers really the ones to dissect corpses? The mechanics are sound, but the creative seems off.
Scrounge? Plunder? Bereave? Despoil? Glean?
