Can you please just remove the Dead Branch or allow us to throw away relics?

[Abhor]

I had one of my best cycle decks in a while just get destroyed by the Dead Branch. Really just an awful item.

[Dusk_Army]

...if you hate it so much, why did you pick it up at all?

[Abhor]

You've never been on auto-pilot or misclicked? That doesn't change the fact that it's an irredeemably bad item.

[Dusk_Army]

I have. I also know that Dead Branch is like, the single strongest relic in the game, and that you can quit to undo your last choice as long as you don't go to another room. Meanwhile, your suggestion is short sighted and ignores the power of the relic.

Dead Branch is a great relic most of the time.

You did accidentally or “accidentally” pick up dead branch so you have to accept that you have to deal with it’s effects. Awareness is part of the game.

Accept the L or try and find/request a mod to thanos snap dead branch

The Dead Branch was the keystone in my first two heart kills. Just because it wasn't useful for your build doesn't mean it's not good for other builds.

Just be more careful what you pick up.

Hey, it's Dead Branch. Now we just need a "Corruption is bad" thread.

At least thinking Corruption is bad is justifiable based on the way other games work and the fact that misusing it results in a guaranteed loss. I can only think of one circumstance where I'd actually skip Dead Branch (aside from going for that achievement), and it involves somehow putting together a working Grand Finale deck.

One Relic achievement is pretty easy as long as you don't get Tiny House

Different people play different ways. I can imagine the Branch really screwing someone up if they exclusively focus on very small, tight decks. In general though, yeah, it's very powerful.

Branch is kinda wack, it isnt particularly useful outside of the tiny niche that is a corruption deck, random cards can be fun but for the same reason snecko eye is a dodgy pick it really amps up the RnG, if you dont get useful cards its basically exhausing cards into curses and that can ruin a run very fast.

Hey now. Snecko Eye is the best relic in the game. It's not particulary close.

Nice.

idk wtf you guys are doing with Dead Branch unless you generally play with a 100 card deck and don't care what you're doing to clog it. I have Ascension 15 with the main trio and A4 with the new character and I have never once been happy to see that relic.

[Burdpal]

Dead Branch is not a relic you should be auto-picking, kind of like the Bottle relics.

You take Dead Branch when you feel like you could use the extra cards effectively with the tools you already possess (for example, when you play as Defect with Runic Pyramid and have Recycle, those Dead Branch'd Sunders look tasty).

Or, when you play as Ironclad and run Corruption. I don't think I need to explain how broken the relic is when you are able to exhaust all the skills in your hand, only to generate more and endlessly accrue block and every important power in his arsenal.

100? That's baby numbers. Ya'll thinking that's a fat deck? Pfft, amateurs. I'll be seeing you all with my 500 cards

It's honestly not even that bad though. Most of the time, if you're playing it right, it's just a straight up minor buff unless you're using a shiv deck where you're risking reaching heavy levels of fat decking but also heavy potential of getting really good cards. As long as you don't blindly spam exhaust cards though you're fine with Dead Branch as your main deck should be built around a decent build and Dead Branch can give you a card you need once or twice at battle.
