Shovel is a Rare relic that adds a "Dig" option at rest sites, letting you gain a random relic. Growing your relic count is itself a major advantage, and every dig reliably raises the run's overall power. On runs with plenty of alternative heals or Block-heavy decks that dodge damage, dig opportunities increase, and the relic count alone can swing wins. The combo with Coffee Dripper effectively flips the rest-heal drawback into an upside.
