Empty Cage

Ancient

Upon pickup, remove 2 cards from your Deck.

On pickup the Cage opens your deck and removes 2 cards of your choice. It is a one-time effect, so the relic cannot be traded afterward. Cards marked Eternal cannot be removed from a deck, so they stay whatever you do. It is one of the relics Darv offers.

When to take Empty Cage

Take it early, when the two free removals are Strikes and Defends you would otherwise pay the merchant to shed. Still fine later with a clean deck, just less valuable.
