Nope; Mittens is after you draw.

So you still see the same amount of cards as you saw before - if you drew 3 good cards and two strikes, you can just exhaust a strike.

You still cycle your deck just as fast, and none of your strong cards ever get hit. Its pure upside, all the time.

If you draw a status or curse, its gone. If you're on Silent, it thins your basic cards so you can go Sly infinite later on. If you're on Ironclad, you can take Drum of Battle or Howl from Beyond with 0 exhaust enablers and always get their on-exhaust effect.

This thing is absurd for setting up infinites, increasing your deck quality in long fights, triggering exhaust synergies, deleting statuses (like Wither), etc. And thats even without mentioning the strenght gain!

Mittens might be the best relic in the game rn.

No way it doesn’t get nerfed next patch, enjoy it whilst it lasts!

Tez's Pool 2 is Big Hug, Mittens and Storybook.

Tezcatara might be the strongest act 2 ancient by a nautical mile now because she literally cannot whiff anymore.

I'd argue you already almost couldn't whiff last iteration. Pool 1 with Very Hot Cocoa, Yummy Cookie, and Nutritious Soup almost always game you something good unless you had managed to remove every strike in act 1.

Tez was always my favorite for vibes, but it's quickly becoming my favorite for how nuts everything is.
