Precise Scissors

Precise Scissors

Ancient
Upon pickup, remove 1 card from your Deck.

Pickup opens your deck and you permanently remove one card of your choice. Any card that is not Eternal can be picked, Curses included, so it doubles as a Curse cure. That is the entire effect; it has no combat hooks, and since it is spent at pickup it cannot be traded.

When to take Precise Scissors

Take it whenever your deck still has a Strike, Defend or Curse worth losing, ideally in Overgrowth where a leaner deck pays off longer. It beats Precarious Shears on safety.
