How good would Stone Calendar be if it worked like Incense Burner?

If you don't know Stone Calendar does 52 at the end of your 7th turn, and Incense Burner gives you 1 Intangible every 6th turn, and it also transitions between combats.

Very.

VERY. you could stall so much hallway fights just to walk into an elite and get super ahead on turn one. Think about what this dose for the tri slavers fight.

Yeah, it'd be a little TOO good if the counter transitioned between combats. But I do think it needs to go off quicker. I understand that would mess up the significance of the numbers (7 days in a week, 52 weeks in a year), but the numbers and way it works could be changed a little to reflect that. Say, it does 12 damage for every 7 cards you play? It'd basically be like a relic version of Panache+, which would be redundant, but I'm just spitballing here.

That would be an interesting boss relic.

Good example. Also sentries, triple cultist, triple jaw worm, turn 2 collector, turn 2 reptomancer, turn 3 slime boss, all those act 1 ganks.

Now, it might be nice if you could set up calendar like incense or flower or pen or whatever else, but a critical mass of such relics would make the game feel like work for some players, like stalling for exp in ftl because it's optimal in low risk fights.

Besides, it's not that calendar is bad. It's that incense burner is way above the curve.
