💡 How to Use
Forbidden Grimoire is a high-cost investment card that sacrifices immediate combat tempo for permanent deck optimization by thinning out low-value cards at the end of every fight. It is best utilized in the early game to systematically remove basic Strikes and Defends, ensuring your deck becomes increasingly consistent as the run progresses.
⚡ Synergies
Reanimate
Playing a 2-cost Power that provides no immediate defense requires a massive safety net; Reanimate provides a massive Summon shield to protect your HP while you set up long-term scaling.
Neurosurge
This card provides the exact 2 Energy needed to play the Grimoire for free while drawing additional cards to maintain defensive momentum on the same turn.
Unceasing Top
The Grimoire is the ultimate engine for enabling this relic, as it allows you to prune your deck down to a few high-impact cards that can be looped infinitely once your hand is empty.
Banshee's Cry
By removing non-Ethereal cards from your deck, you increase the density of Ethereal draws, allowing this card to reach its 0-cost threshold much faster in every combat.
