Note: Stella Clark's Neither Rain nor Snow is a survivor skill card! Arcane is a noncompetitive slot for her, so any Stella deck with even halfway good XP can absolutely justify a copy of Gift of Nodens.

Stella also likes to run Take Heart, which is another fantastic combo here.

This creates a loop and is a fantastic card. It is presently probably the best card in the drowned city cycle.

Basically survivors already have cards that like to be in the discard pile. Improvised shield, winging it, improvised weapon, moonstone, glimmer of hope, etc.

Gift of Nodens lets you retrieve good skills (i.e., resourceful) and put cards that want to be in the discard into the discard. By using this pretty much exclusively with resourceful, you basically guarantee that you both keep resourceful going in your deck (and keep survivor assets that got tossed in your hand) while setting up these "from the discard pile" effects.

Does this break Silas or is it required to solve the whole text of this cards leaving no room to Silas's ability? I mean, he doesn't need more broken tech, Unrelenting is such a badly designed card (in a powerful way).

Even if this doesn't work the way I mentioned before, the card is bananas in Silas. Doubling on your Brute Force and Resourceful copies just by playing skills and fueling your discard pile is incredibly powerful. It's the wet dream for Survivor players.
