Spike wins, his name is more fun.

Little Timmy wins, because he likes to put tokens on things to make them more powerful.... #MTGReference

Agree to disagree.
I have pro tour point....

Quoting my quote. Here's why the Hat is OP. Sniper spectacles which is a UR eye slot gives you +3 to Ranged. And that's all. The Hat gives you +3 to Ranged plus another UR eye piece. It's basically the power of 2 UR's in one Token. I say bump it down to +1 to Ranged plus the extra eye slot.

Sniper are +3 to hit, these are +3 to damage.

Good catch. But still.... Wearing the hat nets you +3 to hit (Sniper) and +3 to damage (Hat). So a +3/+3 Ranged UR that boosts all physical and spells. The Bracers of Supreme Archery is only +2/+2 and the damage is only for physical ranged. So I still say tone the hat down a bit.

That's two URs netting you the +3/+3, compared to a single UR giving you +2/+2.

Behold!

Cast 1st level spells and restore power as FA works fine as printed for cleric and bard.

Cast 1st level non damage spells and restore power as FA works fine for cleric, Druid and bard.

I would like to consider wearing this with the cleric relic. If I have to track 5 uses so wizards and druids can cast damage spells with it, I’m much more likely to skip it.

In complete agreement. A likely skip except the transmute.

So you guys will skip because you can’t track 5 uses ? What do you do with your current spells ? But you will also be giving up FA restore power

I get most of the same power out Of the currently proposed relic. Instead of free action bless, I can free action prayer and cast bless as a standard action. I haven’t used restore power in several years, so I’m not going to burn a ring spot for that. With my ring situation, I don’t really need this one, but if it’s not a PITA to use I would get it. I would be happier to get added to the ring of expertise to not have to burn bless scrolls as often, and I would enjoy using spiritual hammer a couple times a game.

For a cleric that isn’t doing the relic, and doesn’t have a ring of greater focus, getting a FA bless (Maybe even a few) and a few In combat casts of cure light wounds is probably worth tracking the uses. The thing is, tracking uses is only necessary if using damage spells, so IMO don’t add the complexity if it’s not needed.

I'm still confused on how tracking a 5 count is that crazy difficult.

Lol - we need to run together.

I can't keep track of how many rooms we've been through - let alone what I cast in which!

But don't forget you have to give up a Head slot to get that extra Eye slot...that means your Crown of Expertise or Templar Helm has to go bye-bye to get that extra eye slot. Think of what you would rate the token as if all it did was allow you to trade your head slot or your eye slot....
