Effects
When Bob's Rotten Head or Shoop Da Whoop! is chosen, Dead Sea Scrolls will not lose its charge until said item is thrown or released.
This allows Isaac to press Spacebar again if need be to skip over said items in the rotation while keeping full charge, allowing it to be used again for a different effect.
It may be helpful to use Dead Sea Scrolls upon entering an enemy room, as many of its effects such as The Gamekid and Tammy's Head are helpful in combat.
As many of Dead Sea Scrolls effects involve explosions, using it near Tinted Rocks or potential Secret Room entrances can potentially be helpful when low on bombs.
While Anarchist Cookbook can hurt the player, effects such as Book of Revelations, and The Nail will pay out with more health than is lost long-term.
