Prune the Pool

Description
This mod adds a button above every card in the card rewards. When clicked the associated card will get replaced by a new, randomly rolled card and it will be removed from the card pools, so it won't spawn again that run.

To balance the increase in power through mitigating RNG, the player starts with 5 charges, gaining some when killing elites and bosses.

The charges are completely customizeable in the mod config menu.

Essentially, this mod allows players to slowly trim the card pool over the course of the run, to easier enable some synergies or remove some undesireable cards.

Note to people who play the game in endless mode or change the charge settings:
It is possible to crash the game if you remove the majority of all cards of a single rarity. This is not really achievable in a standard game, however I advise caution to those who target ban rare or common cards.

What about instead of fixing the crash, you just prevent it from happening. Have a minimum number of unblocked cards per rarity and disable the replace button once you get to that point. Another thing that would be helpful would be a card counter on the card reward screen that would allow us to see the number of cards left in each rarity pool so we can avoid pruning too many.

All my released mods are in open github repos
https://github.com/erasels/PruneThePool

Just to note though, I know of a way to fix the crash that happens when you prune too many cards, i just didn't like the side effect and decided that I'd just trust in the players. Your solution must be efficient and not advance RNG unduly to be merged.

Hi, is this open source? Maybe I could try to fix the bugs with shop and pruning too many cards from a pool.

Alright, added a little compatibility change. I haven't tested it but it should at least not crash anymore.

With Risk of Relics, using Artifact of Command, the Executive Card, and the Broken Crown, selecting any card from a reward causes this mod to access past the end of the array (by 1) storing the card reward pool.

Mmmh, no, that's wrong. You're either running into a mod compatibility issue or the crash has nothing to do with this mod.

This will crash to desktop if the player can select multiple card options from a card reward screen.

This one just seems like cheating to me, but nicely done anyway. I guess some folks just add too many cards to their game with other mods and end up needing this.

Adding controller support is a massive pain in the behind, so only mouse is supported, sorry about that phylactery.
