🧠 **Tired of starting the same game every time? 😴😴😴**

Have you ever thought about:

• 💍 Start a build around a specific relic from the first level.
• 🧠 Force yourself to play a specific genre without having to endlessly restart the game.
• ⚪ Try a truly exclusive process for colorless cards.
• 🔀 Play with decks containing different character cards.
• 🔥 Turn the flow into brutal challenge mode with crazy mutators.

It's hard to do this with the original game... and that's exactly what this mod is for.

🛡️ **Customize the opening -> Create the process you really want**

**Custom Starts** A dedicated **Custom Starts** modifiers tab has been added to Slay the Spire 2 so that your mod modifiers are clearly separated from the original game's modifiers.

No need to restart again and again just to get a "good start", you can define the characteristics of your process from the first level:

• A relic-centered start
• Start with gold coins as the core
• Only process for colorless cards

*Multiple career reward rotations

• Weird challenge mutators
• High risk custom ruleset

It's designed to **increase replayability, encourage experimentation, challenging flow, and faster setup** without affecting or cluttering the mod list of the original game.

👍 **If this sounds like something you would like, please like the mod and share it with your friends. ** ⭐
