Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management

I fell, head first, down The Card Game expansion rabbit whole. I'm not all-in but I can so, so easily imagine how people end up there.

The Investigator Starter Decks, as a whole, are a brilliant product (and long overdue) making it easier to introduce new people to the game while also enticing long time players to buy them for the large influx of new cards. Or at least that's the idea. So how does Nathaniel's deck do? Nathaniel - The Investigator Nathaniel is only the 3rd five combat character (And second Guardian) and has a very clear, but unique, focus with his design centering on fighting through events instead of weapons, which is very different than anything we've seen before. This gives him a very clear, functional role which I think a new player could quickly understand while also giving him a distinct identity separate from the other Guardians. My primary concern is that his ability is very parasitic, so it's a little hard to say how much support he'll get outside of his deck - I get the feeling the 'core' cards that show up in every Nathaniel deck are going to be very similar leading to limited diversity. It's also nice that Nathaniel is a newly created Investigator for the Arkham games and increases the racial diversity of the Investigators. Nathaniel - The Deck Nathaniel's deck works very well out of the box, though it has clear room for improvement and has several cards that only work in multiplayer and very little ability to gather clues, so it's not really suited for solo play out of the box. It struggles slightly with economy and games where you start with boxing gloves vs those were you do not are vastly different, but overall it's very solid. The upgrades make sense and do what you want them to do. I would have very few concerns starting a new player with this deck as long as they aren't intending to play solo. The New Cards There are only three reprints in the deck (And nine that are new levels of old cards) which is tied for the highest number of new cards in these decks, and the most new content overall. For an experienced player, the cards here are... interesting? Many of them work for Calvin which is nice (Though it's an open question how much he wants most of them...) but otherwise a lot of them have limited value outside of Nathaniel. Flesh Ward is the first level zero arcane slot for Guardians, but it's terrible, as is Relentless (even for Nathaniel), thankfully they're the only two absolutely rubbish cards in here. Grete Wagner, Safeguard(0) - largely obsoleting that already great Safeguard(2), "Get Over Here", One-Two Punch(0), Stand Together(0) will all see steady play outside of Nathaniel - though they're unlikely to open up any new archetypes. His upgrades are largely high level versions of the cards in his deck (Though powering them up enough they're more likely to see play outside of Nathaniel) with Lesson Learned(2) being potentially very useful to solo Guardian players, and Dynamite Blast(3) and Taunt(3) are the 3rd version of their respective cards and clearly powerful.

Arkham Horror: the Card Game is an awesome crossover between RPG and card game, thriving in atmosphere character development. After four years of releases, with countless expansions and a mature and complex card pool, deckbuilding can be a daunting task, especially for newcomers to the game. Fantasy Flight Games conjured a great idea, stealing it from its own Marvel Champions: five ready to play decks, each own sporting a brand new investigator, a majority of new cards, and even a small pool of experience-cost cards to play the deck in campaign mode. This is one of these five decks, and it’s a great addition both to veterans and beginners’ collections.
