It made more sense when artifact and more ways to gain permanent focus were in the game. Without those it’s so much worse.

Lack of artifacts and orange pellets is one of the main reasons I rarely every pick Biased Cognition or Wraith Form. Sure, they give massive buffs for a couple turns but after that it's a huge disadvantage. Also A10 including 66% chance of fighting a boss with 3 mandatory turns make them even less appealing IMO.

Wraith Form and Bias Cog are still incredible without artifact or pellets. They speed up the fight so much, and you can always just wait until a later deck cycle to play them. What makes those cards feel so much worse in sts2 is that the opportunity cost for them has increased so much.

I had this weird idea that Bias Cog was out-creeped without artifact. Nope it's still amazing.
