What we think of geneticalgorithm

If I see a genetic algorithm in act one, I typically find myself picking it up. Bear in mind that it makes your deck considerably worse until it has been played four or five times, so if you are planning on taking a risky route with a lot of encounters or elites you should not be picking this up. When it is fully charged, it can be a huge source of block which is useful against some of the bigger bosses like the heart. You should not really pick up another copy after act 1. I normally limit myself to picking up two copies of this card to prevent myself dying from hallway fights.
