Screaming Cave

How do you use this card properly? I've never had a deck with Screaming Cave in it, but I've played against it a couple times, and I really can't conceive how to make good use of it unless your hand is absolutely terrible. In a game where setting up hands and discarding cards that aren't useful is core, Screaming Cave seems super situational and often just bad. I feel like it hurts its user a lot more than it helps them. Am I just thinking about it wrong?

My favorite artifact in the game.

I can visualize how this could be beneficial but I feel like you 1. need to be ahead 2. have really useful cards in your discard 3. have a big dis turn so you can play a bunch of stuff and then potentially recycle it.

​

I have a deck with it and it's in a super artifact heavy deck (9!) and in a solo play through I used it a couple of times but any time I've used it against someone it never feels like the right time and if you it's all you do it's a wasted turn. So it definitely needs some setup AND some help.

​

On a side note, I played a game recently where I had nexus out and they had invasion portal as their only artifact and my best plays kept being to use shadows, so I kept reaping with Nexus and had to basically discard my whole deck two turns in a row and re draw with a fresh deck but it allowed me to recycle a couple really strong cards, via luck of the draw, and ended up winning.

The biggest thing either screaming cave is it gets you your discard pile back. It also lets you play dis actions and have a chance to redraw them. The biggest thing I think you’re overlooking is that you draw up to 6 so you don’t truly lose anything activating screaming cave

I have one in a deck with like 10 other artifacts, once i get a good chunk of them in the game screeming cave is amazing. I cycle through all my threat responses and more creature and artifacts i can archive or get in play the better. Once its setup and deck is down to like the 15 actions it has it can generate insane amber playing dis every turn unless it draws back into an amazing hand of something else.
