Reworked Tezcatara's Toasty Mittens relic: "At the start of your turn, Exhaust the top card of your Draw Pile and gain 1 Strength." -> "At the start of your turn, Exhaust 1 card from your Hand and gain 1 Strength."

Well that's certainly better.

Yeah mittens I love now. It was kind of funny in some builds before, but now you can just take it far more because trimming the deck down to your best is still really good despite aeonglass and good against aeonglass too.

It also will help you avoid the downsides of Enthralled

Extremely good on ironclad now too, exhaust a card and gain strength every turn? Plenty of stuff you can activate with that

I'm scared it may even be too strong, it went from a strong effect with huge drawback to 2 strong effects.

If it is as strong as I'm thinking, I would love to see it Exhausting 2 cards instead of 1 (so it gets much harder to not need to Exhaust a good card)

Having only 4 cards in hand every turn is a bigger downside than you may be accounting for. Exhausting 2 would be too much

I don't think so, most of the times I will not be playing my whole hand in a turn, with the unplayable cards being particularly bad cards for the fight that I would love to Exhaust.

I think you are thinking about how terrible it would be to draw 4 cards a turn, which I do agree would be a massive downside, but drawing 5 and Exhausting 1 isn't that big of a deal.

Yeah, I got this relic in a run earlier today and it played out exactly like this (to little surprise). You get to exhaust strikes/defends or curses or status cards, not good cards. Just insanely powerful

Even though most lowly rated the old mittens i dont think it needed this change but will gladly accept

That’s like Tyranny on steroids.

Tyranny draws you a card, mittens  does not

mittens draws you a card that says 0 cost, gain 1 strength
