CUSTOM CONTENT Is this a balanced boss relic?

It can be strong if 3 out of 60 cards synergizes. But you can be unlucky with the randomly generated 60 cards and find minimal synergy. Prismatic shard is also a double edged sword. Trying to make this a balanced boss relic. What do you think?

Doesn't synergize well with [[Prismatic Shard]], I don't really like relics that make other relics obsolete.

Why not just drop the Prismatic Shard part, and just pick 3 of 60 all colored cards?

Because prismatic shard is a nerf, and just pick 3 out of 60 cards = win game.
The prismatic shard here is a downside for an incredibly powerful boss relic.

"Get prismatic shard. See your next 20 card rewards, and take 3 cards of your choice from them."

it could be so you get prismatic but you don't get card rewards from the character you are playing with

I understand. What I'm saying is that without giving you prismatic shard, this boss relic would be by far the strongest boss relic.
