Writhe
Curse
It has no effect of its own, but Innate puts it on top of your Draw Pile at the start of every combat and it is drawn as one of your 5 opening cards.- So every fight begins with a Hand of 4 useful cards.
- After that it discards and can be drawn again.
- It is not Ethereal and not Eternal, so a shop or event can remove it.
Nothing in the code hands out Writhe by name: it arrives only through random Curse effects such as Neow's Bones, Sere Talon or the Cursed Run modifier.

When to take Writhe
Remove it when the price is right, but it is the mildest Curse you can draw, with no HP loss and no Weak. Innate decks hurt most, since it eats your opening draw.
