Enablers need Payoffs to shine
Enablers set up the Retain mechanic, while Payoffs cash in on it. Multiple enablers don't synergize with each other — you need at least one payoff card to make them worth it. The best decks balance both.

Payoffs
These cards reward you for building around Retain. The more enablers you have, the stronger these become.?Why these cards pay off: Retained cards stay in your hand between turns. Cards below interact with this mechanic even if they don't mention "Retain" by name.
No cards specifically pay off from Retain. The effect is universally useful.
