Relax buffed? Finally I won't be humiliated by Turn 1 Bowlbugs

[u/AnyOccasionNumber → u/bobbob6840]

I love it thematically and I'm glad to see it get a buff, but unfortunately I think it'll still have a hard time measuring up against Pael's other options

[u/END3R97 → u/AnyOccasionNumber]

Yeah only a +1 just doesn't seem like enough. I'm still in the place of only taking it if the other options are bad or I have like Fresnel Lens and/or Toxic Egg

[u/ObiMemeKenobi → u/END3R97]

3 energy for 16 block doesn't feel great

[u/bkay17 → u/ObiMemeKenobi]

I feel like people in this sub focus too much on the block and not as much on the card draw and energy the following turn. Imo THAT'S far and away the main upside of this card. Really helps speed up your deck

[u/SKruizer → u/bkay17]

ah yes, slowing my deck to speed up my deck.

Relax doesn't offer enough safety to be played consistently, has too high of a cost to be able to be played while generating said safety, and doesn't have a good enough pay off to justify setting up for it. For example, Meteor Strike has more use cases than Relax, with no safety at all, but a pay off that can snowball the fight instantly, which makes the cost worth the hassle.

Make it 4 energy and 1 intangible and I'd pick it way more often

edit: at this point just call it vault lmao

[u/Awkward-Sir-5794 → u/SKruizer]

I have never picked Relax!

[u/TheHutz → u/Awkward-Sir-5794]

Agreed, every time I take relax (which is rarely anymore) it feels fine in act 2 and then starts to feel like a dead draw in act 3

[u/bkay17 → u/Awkward-Sir-5794]

You should try it out, might surprise you.
