Collecting coins after cleaning rooms. Use coins to get powerful cards, or keep the coins for interest -- if you are not killed by powerful enemies.
The altar will provide 5 cards each time for you to pick, and you can refresh them all if there is no your target card -- of course you should pay for that.
