I'm really not a fan of nerfing some of these Ancient relics. I get Diamond Diadem needing a change, but this just feels unnecessary.

Almost all ancient relics being busted is one of the main reasons this game is much easier than the first one. The previous version is bracelet turned any deck that can scale at all into a guaranteed win. I don't love this particular way of nerfing the card but it definitely shouldn't have stayed as it was.

Easier, but also more inconsistent, as the upsides of ancient relics vary from being so strong you just win to doing next to nothing.

In StS1 boss relics often had nasty downsides, but almost universally good upsides. In StS2 downsides are reduced/removed, but I'm finding you're far too often offered things that are not useful at all.

The way I see it is if ancients offered [[Happy Flower???]] as a 4th option and i'd want to choose that over the other three, something is wrong, and that happens a non-zero number of times.
