Slay the Spire 2 has several curse cards, and one of them is the Greed curse. Players can obtain it at the start or in the middle of a run. Like other curse cards, it simply adds an unplayable card to your deck with no real benefit. If that’s the case, why would anyone pick it? This is because Greed grants you 333 gold. The question, then, is whether it’s worth it.
Keep reading to learn more about the Slay the Spire 2 Greed curse and whether you should take it.
What is Greed in Slay the Spire 2?
Greed is a curse card in Slay the Spire 2. Curse cards are negative cards that remains in your deck. They’re also unplayable, and could even inflict negative effect.
- Greed: Curse – Colorless
- Unplayable: Cannot be played from your Hand
- Cannot be removed or transformed from your deck
Once you have the Greed card, there’s no way you could remove it. There’s always a possibility that it’ll appear in your hand, clogging it.
Cursed Pearl Ancient Relic – Should you get Greed?
One of the ancient’s Neow can give you the Cursed Pearl ancient relic. When picked, the Cursed Pearl will give you 333 gold, but will add the Greed card to your deck.
It can be really tempting to take Cursed Pearl. It gives you 333 gold, which is actually a massive boost to your run. However, note that by picking this, you’ll miss out on the early power-up you could get from other Ancient Relics, and you’ll have to deal with an extra useless card. You can work around this by going to a merchant early on (at least 5 nodes in). A starting gold of 99 + 333 gives you over 400, allowing you to buy relics, cards, and potions. As for the Greed card, you cannot remove it, but you can use Discard or Transform to temporarily get rid of it.
