I've usually avoided the Snecko Eye relic when I've seen it come up during a run, as the confusion quite often makes a mockery of the synergy you have going, even if the extra energy is useful.

HOWEVER, I was forced into taking one as The Silent when I chose to swap my starting relic out at the beginning. Throwing any semblance of synergy out the window, I just opted for the highest-cost cards, theorising that they would benefit more from randomised cost than low-cost cards.

I have to say, apart from some hairiness at the start when I was pulling 3-cost defends and strikes, it worked out really nicely. Act 2 was a pushover. I'm confident of prevailing through Act 3 unless I get RNGed a banger.
On top of that, I have slave collar and black star to encourage taking on the elites when possible.

One interesting thing I noticed was that one of the (?) rooms is a card stuck in a wall with your writing on it. When I came across it in my latest run, it was a simple 'Strike' stuck inside. Then it dawned on me that I put a strike in there 4 or 5 runs ago. So there's a wee bit of cross-run referencing there which is quite fun.
