Snecko Eye

Snecko Eye is a boss relic that draws 2 additional cards at the start of each turn but randomizes the cost of every card in your hand to 0, 1, 2, or 3 Energy. It is offered as a boss relic reward after defeating an Act boss and is one of the most transformative and divisive relics in the game.

Drawing 2 extra cards per turn is an enormous benefit — potentially seeing 7 cards per turn — but the random costs create significant variance. Cards that normally cost 0 may suddenly cost 3, while cards that cost 3 may become free. Snecko Eye is most powerful on decks built around high-cost cards (2 and 3 Energy) that can benefit from random reductions, since on average these cards get cheaper while 0-cost cards become the liability. It works exceptionally well with Ethereal cards and on decks with many expensive attacks or skills. It struggles on decks with many 0-cost cards, which may get randomly priced out of being played. The high draw rate also means less reliance on any single draw each turn, and builds with Snecko Eye often want to draft more high-cost powerhouse cards to maximize the chance of hitting cost reductions.
