[Equ] 3 •Orb of the Emissary
Artifact. (To play this card, you must have completed a mission requiring Acquisition, Anthropology, or Archaeology.) Orb. While your personnel present is facing a dilemma, you may download a Prophet card. You may do this only once each turn.
"The Kosst Amojan tried to stop you with a false vision. But you did not waver. You fulfilled your destiny."
58 V 2

Pro:
  • Combos nicely with the Resolute Bride to ditch the just downloaded Prophet card for a skill on a [Baj] personnel in your discard pile.
Con:
  • (At the time of writing) no downloaded Prophet card is going to help you with the attempt you're making: of the 10 Prophet card out there, 7 are Events, one of the Interrupt plays during combat, one at the start of a mission attempt (so the window's been missed), and the last has an Order.
Overall:
  • Currently, it's a 5.5/10. Definitely an early game card, to set you up for later turns/strategies, but next to nothing in the final stages. Maybe if a Prophet card comes out later in The Menagerie (or even a future set) that aids you during the current attempt, it might make it better. One to watch?
