📜 Card Effect

At the end of combat, you may remove a card from your Deck.

🎯 Strategy & Guide

How to Use

FREE CARD REMOVAL AFTER EVERY FIGHT. Play Forbidden Grimoire as early as possible in combat, then draft aggressively — you can always remove bad picks later. Over a 20-fight run, you'll remove 20+ cards from your deck. By the final boss, your deck is nothing but premium cards. Remove Strikes first, then Defends, then any filler.

Drafting Philosophy #2 Pick Priority

Forbidden Grimoire is the single most powerful scaling effect in STS2. It lets you draft aggressively without worrying about deck bloat — take every strong card you see, then trim the weak ones post-combat. A lean Necrobinder deck (15-20 cards) with Forbidden Grimoire is nearly unstoppable. The card effectively turns every fight into a mini-Shop visit.

Key Synergies

Death March Seance Reaper Form

Death March deals more damage with thinner, faster-cycling decks. Seance transforms cards into Souls, which you can then remove if they don't fit your strategy. Reaper Form synergizes with a lean deck that consistently applies Doom.

💡 Strategy: Forbidden Grimoire + Ascension A5 (Ascender's Bane) is the perfect counter. Remove the curse on fight #1 and you're back to a clean deck immediately. Also invaluable after events that add curses (Writhe, Doubt, etc.) — just remove them after the next fight.
