• Effect: Gain 1 Trash and 1 Draw
• Category: Deck Management / Economy

Gear Charm adds Trash and Draw to the equipped unit. Trash permanently removes a card from your hand when activated, while Draw lets you draw an additional card. Together, they give the unit a deck-thinning function — you remove weak cards and draw fresh ones each time the unit acts.

Deck quality in Wildfrost matters significantly. Early game, your hand fills with basic attack cards and low-value items. Having a unit that automatically Trashes one card and Draws another each activation is powerful passive deck improvement.

Over the course of a run, consistent Trash+Draw operations concentrate your deck into its best cards. By mid-to-late game, your hand consistently contains only powerful cards rather than diluted with weak ones.

The limitation is that Trash permanently destroys the chosen card — this is irreversible, so targeted use is important. You want to Trash weak cards, not accidentally Trash important ones. In a carefully managed deck, Gear Charm is excellent. In a chaotic run where you need all your cards, Trash becomes a liability.

Draw 1 also provides hand advantage — seeing an extra card each turn provides more options and flexibility.

Equip on a unit that activates frequently, maximizing the number of Trash+Draw triggers per battle. As the run progresses and your deck fills with powerful cards, the Trash function becomes less impactful but the Draw remains valuable.

Use Trash consciously — when the unit activates, always remove the weakest card in your hand to improve your deck composition.
