💡 How to Use
Well-Laid Plans is a vital utility power that provides consistency by allowing you to save key combo pieces or situational defensive cards for future turns. It is most effective in decks that require precise timing, such as those utilizing Poison scaling or complex Discard chains.
⚡ Synergies
Grand Finale
This card requires your draw pile to be exactly empty, making retention mandatory to avoid discarding it while you thin your deck. Well-Laid Plans ensures you can hold the damage until the exact moment your draw pile hits zero.
Burst
Burst is only valuable when paired with a powerful Skill, and Well-Laid Plans allows you to hold either the Burst or the target Skill until both are in hand. This synergy maximizes the efficiency of high-impact Skills like Bouncing Flask or Adrenaline.
Bullet Time
Since Bullet Time makes your entire hand free, Well-Laid Plans helps you hoard high-cost cards over multiple turns to maximize the energy cheat. This allows for massive tempo swings that would otherwise be impossible with standard energy limits.
Tactician
This card provides energy only when discarded, which often requires holding it until a discard enabler like Acrobatics is drawn. Well-Laid Plans prevents Tactician from being a dead draw by keeping it available for the perfect discard opportunity.
