Because it costs 2 to play and then additional energy plus an exhaust to draw only 1, it’s generally inefficient unless your deck heavily exploits recycle synergies or benefits from thinning trash for later payoffs; in faster or more optimized builds, cheaper cantrips or true draw engines (e.g., 1‑cost draw 2 effects or repeatable non‑exhaust draw engines) will usually outperform it in both tempo and card advantage. If there’s a low‑cost recycler that doesn’t exhaust or a 1‑cost draw spell with no extra resource tax in your card pool, those are typically better inclusions. Overall, Garbage Grabber is playable in niche recycle‑value shells but i
