I for one don't get why you would ever let the Relicker gift cost more than 10 CP SiC, and not just leave the card in your hand and gain CPs / rob rats until it's back at 4. This way it comes out at 12 E / 10 CP SiC = 1.2 E / CP SiC. Even with the maximum Shadowy (215+99), exclusively robbing the rat is less profitable if my math is correct: 314/2 * 0.03 * 0.99 + 230 * 0.01 = 6.9629 E / 6 CP SiC ~= 1.16 E / CP SiC

So it seems you're worse off both in terms of E/CP SiC and EPA? Am I missing something obvious?

Depending on how low your Shadowy is, it might even be better to play the card with over 4 SiC. My result for robbing the rat at minimum Shadowy for 100% success is: 117/2 * 0.03 * 0.99 + 230 * 0.01 = 4.03745‬ E / 6 CP SiC ~= 0.67 E / CP SiC So with Shadowy 117, you could play it at SiC level 4 + 7 CP and still get (12 - 0.67 * 7) / 10 = 0.731 E / CP SiC.
