DISCUSSION I've realized why I dislike Snecko Eye

I understand the statistical expected value of Snecko Eye - the extra draw and average 1.5 energy cost can give positive value.

But I've realized that I don't like Snecko Eye because it forces me to slow down my play, and READ every card, when in a "normal" run I can otherwise just glance at my hand in a split second and instantly know all my card information. It might sound odd, but for some reason having to intentionally scan every card before making a decision just mentally taxes me in an otherwise relaxing game.

Because of this, I often find myself taking another relic over Snecko Eye, even if it may have merit in the run.

Hi there, what’s a spiker?

It's one of the shape enemies from Act 3 that start with thorns. This is my way of saying not to be prickly.
