</>Common questions about Card Dealer
What does Card Dealer do in Slay the Spire 2?
Card Dealer is a ProjectMods mod for Slay the Spire 2 that lets you draw extra cards instantly during any combat encounter. Bind the Draw Cards action to a hotkey or click the button in the launcher, and the mod deals you three more cards on demand by default. You go from a dead hand to a fresh set of options in a single tap, which is great for closing out bosses, recovering from a bad draw, or setting up scaling combos. The mod only works in active combat, so it stays out of the way on the map and at rest sites.
Can I change how many cards Card Dealer draws each time?
Yes. Card Dealer in Slay the Spire 2 ships with a Count slider in the ProjectMods launcher, set to 3 by default. You can crank it anywhere from 1 to 10 cards per trigger, so you can keep it modest for a small assist or go full deck-flood if you want to see your entire hand at once. Each press deals you that many cards in sequence, so the result behaves exactly like drawing those cards naturally — energy costs, on-draw effects, and card limits all apply. Set it once in the launcher and the value sticks across runs.
Why does the Draw Cards hotkey do nothing outside of combat?
Card Dealer in Slay the Spire 2 only deals cards during an active combat encounter — on purpose. There is no hand to draw into on the map screen, in the shop, or at a rest site, so pressing the hotkey in those places is a deliberate no-op. This keeps the action safe to bind to a comfortable key in ProjectMods without worrying about it misfiring while you click around between battles. As soon as combat starts and your hand is dealt, the hotkey wakes up and pulls three extra cards (or whatever your Count slider is set to) on demand.
When should I actually use Card Dealer in a Slay the Spire 2 run?
Card Dealer shines in three Slay the Spire 2 moments. First, the dead-draw rescue: you opened your turn with a hand full of skills against a wall of attacks, so you tap Draw Cards and pull three more to find an answer. Second, the boss close-out: you can see lethal if you can just find one more strike or one more energy card. Third, the scaling-combo setup: certain decks need to chain a sequence quickly, and pulling extra cards mid-turn lets you assemble the chain in a single round. The ProjectMods Count slider lets you tune how aggressive each pull is.
What happens if Card Dealer tries to draw past my deck or hand limit?
Card Dealer in Slay the Spire 2 just asks the game for more draws, so it respects every rule the base game already enforces. If your draw pile runs dry, the game reshuffles your discard pile into a new draw pile exactly as it would on a normal draw, and the rest of Card Dealer's pulls continue from there. If you hit the in-game hand size cap, additional pulls behave the same way a natural over-draw does in vanilla Slay the Spire 2. Nothing is bypassed or forced — the ProjectMods mod just asks for more cards, then lets the game handle the rest cleanly.
