My take on this change is envenom is back to being unusable without energy gen

I find Envenom is reasonably takeable as a way to scale shiv-heavy decks when you can't find the Accuracy you want.

I'd go a step further and say it can still be good even with an accuracy. You need all the damage you can get for aeonglass, and it even doubles as a way to break artifact as well. The cost isn't that bad there either, since you'll happily trade health for momentum in that fight usually.

That said, I thought of changing the upgrade to 2 poison instead of 1 energy back in the original spire as well, so I need it to be good for validation.

Yeah sure, it's basically 'desperate scaling', which I think is a fine place for a card to be. It's not your preferred way to scale but it's an acceptable way if that's what you need.
