Mummified Hand

Mummified Hand is a Rare relic in Slay the Spire 2 that reduces the cost of a random card in your hand to 0 for the turn whenever you play a Power card. This creates a powerful chain reaction where playing Powers unlocks free plays of other cards, generating tremendous tempo and value.

The impact of Mummified Hand scales directly with the number of Power cards in your deck. In a Power-heavy build, playing one Power can make another Power free, which triggers Mummified Hand again, creating a cascade of zero-cost plays that lets you deploy your entire engine in a single explosive turn. Even in decks with just a few Powers, the occasional free card play represents significant Energy savings.

Mummified Hand is the defining relic for Power-based strategies across all characters. The Defect benefits enormously due to its abundance of Power cards like Defragment, Capacitor, and Electrodynamics. It synergizes with cards that generate additional Powers and with Runic Pyramid, which lets you hold Powers until you can chain them together. The relic has no value in decks without Powers, so its strength is entirely dependent on your deck composition.
