I’m an avid reptile player in game but for some reason I prefer skink over geck

Well, it is easier to get a hold of.

I just like the tail drop, not sure why i just like it

the Skink's tail inherits the Campfire boosts and extra sigils of the Skink itself. It's pretty solid. Not to mention that the tail is legally a 0-cost card, so it can do all the cool Geck stuff on a slight delay if you give the Skink Unkillable or Fecundity (and I guess also a Campfire attack boost, but a lot of the good reusable Skink tail plays specifically revolve around its nature as an infinitely reusable resource, not its merits in isolation).
Also the fun interaction with the Magpie sigil where the Skink searches one card immediately, then another as soon as the tail is loose. Also applies to a lesser extent to the Rabbit sigil, but that one's not quite as broken.

I made this exact card.
Then I died because I pulled my only 3 3 cost cards in a row

Geck

Give it corpse eater and trifurcated strike. That way it really sells the argument for Geck.
Why corpse eater? It's free
To quote the boss behind my reasoning for corpse eater... "Thar's gold in them cards."
Now I'm even more confused
Basically when you get to prospector's phase two he destroys all your cards and replaces them with gold nuggets. That is unless you have a card with corpse eater.
