Calculated Gamble

What we think of Calculated Gamble

Ironically, calculated gamble is usually a safe bet in the early game. It is a way to redraw your hand for free with the only downside of drawing one less card. It synergises incredibly well with discard relics such as tingsha and tough bandages without forcing you into the archetype. In a full discard deck that involves infinitely cycling with Tactician, Multiple upgraded copies of calculated gamble are almost essential.
