Anchor is a common relic that provides 10 Block at the start of each combat.
Strategy
This relic's ability makes your turn 1 easier, as you do not need to spend as much Energy on defense. This means you could either attack right away, or, more effectively, play Power cards on your first turn safely. Because of this, decks that rely on (likely Innate) Powers find this relic very useful.

Ring of the Snake: The additional 2 cards in your starting hand may be played safely.- Body Slam: Does 10 additional damage.
