The Bag of Preparation is a common relic that draws an additional 2 cards at the start of each combat. Its effect is identical to the RingoftheSnake Ring of the Snake, the Silent's default starting relic.

Strategy[]

This relic is very powerful despite its rarity. Its effect synergizes with many other relics and cards, and the additional card draw increases the potency of your first turn. However, if you draw too many key cards and are unable to play them all, this relic could possibly set you back for a few turns.
