so this looks like a classic case of the cost not matching up, so the relic should just check for the energy spent by the card (dunno how feasible this is)

another is the temporarily 0 cost power generated by enchiridion (and presumably, any cards zero-costed by mummified hand)

another one is the swivel effect zero-costing your next attack

one such example is the Happy modifier from Mojimoon Chimera (Every 3(2) times this card is drawn, it costs 0 next time played)

hi the dolly's mirror change does not see cards that have been zero-costed by exotic means

how does this sound for a suggestion that you could add in a future update.

runic pyramid: start each combat with 99 equilibrium (the buff that retains your hand for the turn). (this would keep the function of the relic but allow other cards and relics that trigger with have effects related retain to activate mainly establishment).

Busted Crown tweak is up.

@BigOleTuna: I like the Busted Crown tweak - will have a look at implementing it
@paradoxia: happy to accept pull request if I like the changes - and if not, you can just post your changes as a separate mod with mine as a prerequisite (or simply a modded version of my mod). :spazdreaming:
paradoxica 17 Sep, 2024 @ 10:33pm 
are you open to ideas if i pull request them and implement them? or is that github link just "for one's own modding enjoyment"?
Prediction 21 Mar, 2024 @ 10:25pm 
Agreed @Big Ole Tuna, making the change on Busted Crown should have been the top priority.
