Ancient
Upon pickup, Upgrade 6 random cards.
At pickup it picks 6 random cards from your deck that can still be upgraded and upgrades them; you do not choose, though the game shows the results in a grid. Cards already upgraded and cards with no upgrade, such as Curses and Statuses, are excluded from the roll. One-time, random, and spent on pickup, so it cannot be traded. Ancient, offered by Ancients.

When to take Sand Castle
Best on a small, unupgraded deck, where its 6 random upgrades cover a big share of your cards. It gets worse late, once your key cards are smithed and the roll lands on Strikes instead.
