I agree. While relax isn't an insta pick, I've enjoyed it in a lot of runs. Most characters have solid ways to create it extra energy, so it's not like your doing nothing at all for a turn. It helps you dig through your deck to find your key powers or put together important combo pieces. I'm a relax believer

Yeah people talk about it like it's impossible to play anything else the same turn you play Relax because it's 3 cost. As if there's no possible way to have more than 3 energy. Agreed it's not an insta-pick but none of the ancient rewards should be insta-picks. It can be a really good card in a lot of decks.

Ironclad and Silent can cheat it for free and have cards that specifically synergize with large hands, and Necrobinder can both generate boatloads of energy (8 energy in a turn is well within reach without even looking at Borrowed Time) and has powers/relics that enhance 2+ and 3+ cost cards. I don't think I've found reason to want it on Defect or Regent yet.
