What does it do?

It fixes/improves the starting hand algorithm to give you a better starting hand. Normally the game will have you draw 2 cards, and if none are 0 or 1 blood cost, then it will put a bones card or 1 blood cost card into your hand. This bone card would often stay in your hand and be unable to be played for a long time. Now it will only put a bone card in your hand if you can afford to play it in the first 2 turns. If playing act 2 brittle cards such as skeletons are factored in. If playing act 1/Kaycee's mod all that matters are Bone Lord boons, meaning you will only draw a bone card you can play turn 1.
