Ring of the Snake
StarterSilent
At the start of each combat, draw 2 additional cards.
The Silent's starting relic. On the first turn of each combat you draw 2 extra cards, so your opening hand is 7 instead of 5; every later turn is normal. Starter rarity, never sold or found. Touch of Orobas converts it into Ring of the Drake, which extends the bonus to the first 3 turns.

When to take Ring of the Snake
You start with this, so it shapes your draft instead: Innate cards and cheap setup Skills are stronger on the Silent, and her 7-card opener rewards discard-for-value plans.
