more options to remove cards please (not forced ones)

i have noticed that while running up the tower you eventually find a niche way to build characters but after gaining so many cards that i start having trouble drawing what i need. it doesn't matter if you can draw 3 extra cards a round if the card you need is 8 cards down.

there are only 3 ways to remove a card: Merchant (gold cost), events (rare),and relic (birds nest) the problem is that gold cost for merchant is so high (75 base cost +25 per) and the events and relics are so rare.

i agree that you shouldn't be able to remove curse cards easily though so it would need to be balanced.

only things i could think of were: Sell cards to merchant (non-curse only) at low benefit (5-10g maybe), events where you can "burn" cards to get a benefit (curse cards exempt), or simply allow players to destroy cards (non curse and no benefit).

Uhm no, too much infinity combo in this game.
If you have a finisher card you must keep your deck thin.

Lesson 1: Do not just pick a card every time you can. Sometimes it is better to think long-term and not pick a card even though it might be better than a Strike right now.

i do keep my core cards around 8-12 but i often have single shot cards that exhaust which makes my deck closer to 25. not to mention i want to replace basic strikes and defends with better cards (for iron clad example: pommel strike and headbut: Shrug it off and iron weave)

A good deck at ascension 0 is 15-20 for ironclad and defect and 20-25 for silent (more drawn power) hardest ascension level need larger deck for consistency in saving situation block and attack.
If you struggle with large deck try true grift+ and other removing card with ironclad, you can build an archtype around.

The removing card events are not that rare, imho.
There is the bird statue, the cleric, the beggar, ancient writing, falling down, the campfire spirits, the purifying shrine, neow (although removing cards by neow has a hefty price)...
(did I forget an event?)

There is also the uncommon smiling mask relic, which makes card removal at the merchant cost 50 everytime. And don't forget about the empty cage.
