Gambling Chip
At the start of each combat, discard any number of cards then draw that many.
Gambling Chip is best in discard-based shells where filtering and payoff happen in the same turn cycle.
Best for players whose current deck already benefits from discard, card-draw, or who need this relic to make a draft direction feel more coherent.
Treating Gambling Chip as generic value instead of asking whether your current build can actually convert it into tempo, scaling, survivability, or consistency.
In Slay the Spire 2 Early Access, relics are often more important than they look because they do not just add raw stats — they can reinforce a draft direction, fix weak openings, or turn a shaky build into a real plan.
That means the right question is usually not “is this relic strong?” but “does this relic make my current build stronger, smoother, or more reliable?” Pages like this are meant to answer that second question.
Strong in These Build Directions

How should I judge relics in Early Access?
The most useful way is not asking whether a relic is universally good, but whether it strengthens your current direction, patches a real weakness, or creates a new draft path you can actually support.
