I think this cards is underrated, especially in multiplayer games. At first glance it looks bad for multiplayer, cause only you get to search for a card, while everybody has to raise their threat. However the card you grab most likely will gave a benefit for other players, like Deep Knowledge or Legacy of Númenor. So for your teammates, it essentially gives them the effect of a doomed event for +1 threat, which is still almost always a good deal, especially with Deep Knowledge. If you ask me if i want to raise my theat by 3 to draw 2 cards in any moment of the game, I would say yes most of the time. Of course there are some decks like Hobbits or Secrecy that want low threat, but then you are probably not running doomed events anyway. But if you run Deep Knowledge in your fellowship to help with card draw (something a lot of decks do), I think this card should be considered more often. There also is the disadvantage that you might draw this after you played all your dooomed events, but if you have already drawn 6 cards from deep knowledge, one dead card in your hand probably might not change the outcome of the game.
I want to like this contract more than I do. The idea of enabling 2-hero decks -- like how Grey Wanderer enables single-hero decks -- is attractive, but in practice I rarely feel like this contract is worth it. As is often pointed out, you can almost always better accomplish what you want your deck aims to do by subbing the contract for a third hero. The contract simply does not provide sufficient benefit, in my opinion, to offset the steep cost of losing your third hero. I wish that it didn't come with the additional threat increase -- I want to run 2-hero secrecy decks, which help make up for the resource loss, but it's not possible with an additional 8 starting threat. That's a shame.
tl;dr - this is a contract that I want to love, but that doesn't love me back.
