Boss relic note
Boss relics are not free upgrades. Spine Coil-style decisions should ask what the relic lets the deck do next, what downside it adds, and whether the next act punishes that downside before the new value pays off.
- Raise the relic when it solves energy, route, or consistency needs.
- Lower it when the downside makes bad hands or boss prep worse.
- Compare it against the next act map, not only the current deck.
What it changes
If Spine Coil changes which cards the deck can afford to play, it also changes draft priorities. Link the relic back to card and boss pages so readers understand why a card moved up or down after the relic pick.
