We'd lose literally nothing from the Rejuvenating Entropy, as there are no Equipment cards out.  However, that Mountainous Carapace would be healed up...

It's dpt's call, but I think the Rejuvenating Entropy is a stronger play for us...

DV could get rid of Entomb with Mental Divergence if she gets bored of all that Turmoil, but since the top card is almost guaranteed to come out in the environment turn (thanks Wasteland!) there's no reason to not take the Rockslide.
