Yoon has a favored card of blessing. Ausetitha says "Display this card next to your deck. While displayed, when you play a card of your favored type (blessing!!!) on a check (not your check, any check), after the roll you may add or subtract five from the result"
This means when Yoon blesses anyone, after the roll he can then add or subtract five. This is astoundingly broken in this combination. Every blessing adds a die AND then an extra five point modifier.
Just wow.
It's strong, but certainly not broken. Yoon has to save blessings for her power, so it's not like she's just going to be able to hand out blessings on everyone's checks. She also goes away if you suffer a scourge. She's also an ally that doesn't give you an explore, which is a big minus to people/characters who depend on allies for explorations.
Compare Ausetitha with Soul Steal. That card, once displayed, gives a +1d4 on every check you make for the rest of the scenario, no other requirements to activate it, and can't be removed from play.
So it's a strong combination, but I wouldn't say it's broken.
Add in the fact that our Yoon has the loot Sphinx ally which says "At the start of your turn reveal this ally. You may then recharge any number of cards (anything which isn't a blessing) and reset your hand (draw a new full hand of blessings)."
So the way this works is Yoon casts blessings on other people during their turns, giving them th blessing die plus or minus five. Then when his turn starts he keeps one weapon and the sphinx, then resets his hand and draws a fistful of new blessings. Yoon has nine blessings in his deck so he has plenty.
Blessing of Maat is +/- 8.
I should point out a Yoon blesses me quite often, so I benefit from this. But it is very WOW when seen in operation.
Just fyi, yoon is a girl.
What AD# and card type is Ausetitha?
What AD# and card type is Ausetitha?
She's an ally from deck 4.
Still think that Ahtez en Zetha from the Summoner CD are potentially stronger than this combo.

You appear to be talking about the loot ally Tetisurah: "At the start of your turn, reveal this card to shuffle any number of cards into your deck, then reset your hand."
I want to make sure you realize that the cards she's shuffling into her deck (not recharging) are coming from her hand, not her discard pile—she isn't getting back blessings she discarded to help other people (though Yoon does have a character power that lets her recharge 1 blessing from her discard pile at the end of her turn, so she will get 1 back).
So if she's using more than 1 blessing per turn, most of them are going to stay in the discard pile, and since she's shuffling non-blessings into her deck, it means that there's a chance she's going to be drawing some of those very cards. Also, the percentage of non-blessing cards in her deck will be increasing over time, so she's not going to be able to do it too many times before she's only pulling whichever blessing she recharged at the end of the previous turn.
Like many things in the game, it's self-regulating.
That said, Yoon is a good character to give that loot!
Our Yoon does use multiple blessings per turn because she has ways to heal them back in using allies or items. I agree that Tetauriah doesn't heal Yoon, and we never played it that way.
And note: when Yoon uses her power to recharge or shuffle a blessing to add her Fortitude skill to her combat check, she is not playing that blessing, so Ausetitha would not allow Yoon to add or subtract 5 from that check -- unless, of course, she also played a blessing on the check.
Yoon now has the ally from A5 which allows her to recharge an extra blessing from her discard pile each turn.
