To be Ketamine accurate, the upgrade should be Voids instead of Dazed.

There is exactly one situation I can think of where this is an upgrade, and that's when, after using gambler's brew, drawing void lowers your energy, making whirlwind hit less times, triggering thorns less times on an enemy which was going to die anyway due to stone calendar

You would spend all your energy on Whirlwind meaning you’d also need an energy card in your hand too lol.

If you did "add as many dazed into your deck as cards in your hand" would be amazning if you had fire breathing

u/Asher_Fox 1d ago
Yes ik, ive been playing for over 2 years. Imagine starting combat with more and more dazed tho lmao. That would be wild.

u/Stan_Beek0101 Heartbreaker 1d ago
Yeah would be pretty funny lol, imagine storm of steel adding shivs to your deck.

To be fair, "into your deck" should either be "into your draw pile" or "into your discard pile"

u/FallacyDog 1d ago
I did make a version with the phrasing "draw" but the syntax lawyers in the discord said that this would imply the dazes were already in the deck to draw

u/TitaniumWatermelon Ascension 17 1d ago
You could do something like "Discard your hand. Add 10 Dazes to the top of your draw pile. Draw 10 cards."

u/FallacyDog 1d ago
Well done! Maybe Ketamine+ exhausts the cards and (as recommended) adds voids instead of dazes for thematic consistency.

Charon's Ashes Rare (Ironclad only) Relic (100% sure)
Whenever you Exhaust a card, deal 3 damage to ALL enemies.

u/AgathaTheVelvetLady Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago
For Ironclad, this would be pretty good. You're basically getting exhaust triggers at the end of your turn for each empty spot in your hand. Get a Feel no Pain (already very strong), and you have an impervious you can play at the end of your turn on demand.

You could say "add 1 daze on top of your draw pile for each empty space in your hand. Draw cards equal to the amount of cards generated"
Very convoluted wording though. Not sure if it woul seem better

u/DueMeat2367 Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago
It means it would proc Fire Breathing and draw effects like increasing Ink Bottle

u/Sinnester888 Heartbreaker 1d ago
Ink Bottle works on cards played, not drawn :(

u/DueMeat2367 Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago
Ah yes I was thinking of [[bottled ink]] : Every 10 cards drawned, play the top card of your draw pile.

u/spirescan-bot 1d ago
Bottled Lightning Uncommon Relic (31% sure)
Upon pick up, choose a Skill card. At the start of each combat, this card will be in your hand.

I don’t think it’s very good card design tbh. Absurdly powerful with the right synergies but basically unpickable without doesn’t make for interesting gameplay in my mind.

u/Jack_Of_The_Cosmos 1d ago
A good comparison would be catalyst since it is a dead card without poison support, but catalyst is a powerful win condition. This card is similarly hard to pick without support, but needs much more specific support than poison and has seemingly less payoff than catalyst. Credit where it is due, this card isn’t broken and is surprisingly capable of some fun interactions for what is more of a joke card.

u/MerzkyShoom 1d ago
OP in some decks, unpickable is many decks. Which is perhaps it’s own form of balance?
8/10 times, this is going to be unpickable. Therefore it is taking away a better rare card option that you could’ve been presented with.
8/10 might be an exaggeration. Maybe 6 or 7/10 times it’s unpickable. Though I could see myself taking this with just one FNP honestly

u/wingedespeon Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago
I think it is pickable with just one dark embrace too. Honestly pickable with just charon's ashes.

Depends on how it works. Does it add Dazes until your hand is full a la Scrawl, or does it discard your and replace it with 10 Dazes? The first way could have some very powerful synergies, the second way would be more limited but sometimes good.
Also due to how the game works, Voids added to the hand in the same way are functionally identical to Dazes and not drain your energy.
