Scrawl Skill

Is Scrawl good in Slay the Spire 2?

Scrawl is a rare Colorless skill in Slay the Spire 2. In combat it resolves as: Draw cards until your Hand is full. It ranks among the strongest cards its class can draft right now, earning a spot at B tier in our Slay the Spire 2 card tier list.

Across 69 recorded runs, decks running it win 49.3% of the time, comfortably clear of the 13.8% average, by 35.4%. It’s a more selective pick, turning up in just 0.3% of decks that could run it. Across 1395 recorded offers it is picked 0.9% of the time (12 runs took it, 1308 passed), which is still short of the sample needed to publish a pick-versus-skip win rate. Silent players keep it in 0.5% of their runs, so it’s a familiar sight in those decks. On average it shows up 1.2 times in the decks that take it.

It performs best next to Defend — together they post a -1.2% swing in win rate. It also has strong chemistry with the relic Bag of Marbles, which moves its win rate by +17.1%. At 1 energy, it’s upgraded in 32.5% of runs and usually joins the deck around floor 26.

That’s 33 wins, 34 deaths, and 2 abandoned runs with it in the deck. The encounter that most often ends a run carrying it is Queen Boss, which closes out 8.7% of its appearances. Read on for Scrawl’s complete synergy, class, and threat breakdown to decide whether it earns a slot in your Colorless run.

Pick or Skip: Scrawl

Scrawl is taken in 0.9% of its 1395 recorded offers, but with 12 runs picking it and 1308 passing, neither side has enough decided runs for a win rate yet.

Taken 13 times out of 1395 offers.

A win rate is only shown once that side clears the sample floor. Below it you get the run counts and nothing else — a 0% here would be a reporting artefact, not a result.

Pick rate when offered counts offers, not runs: out of every time the game put this in front of a player, how often it was taken. It is not the same number as the share of runs that end up containing it.

Pick lift is the sample-adjusted gap between runs that took the option and runs that passed on it. It is the fair way to rank choices, because raw win rates put the smallest samples on top.
