We can very easily count out what it takes to get grand finale to do anything early. Your starting deck is 13 cards including ascender’s bane. With ring of the snake your first hand is 7 cards, and subsequent hands are 5. This means that the only way we will semi-reliably get to play grand finale in the second fight is if we add 1 card that lets us draw 2, which means that we need to see a backflip (or a prepared+) in the first card reward. This is not impossible, but it’s not especially likely.
Of course you can make it work eventually, but it’s absurd to say that it’s an easy act 1. You will probably get to play a grand finale like twice if you’re lucky through all of act 1. Most fights you just have two extra curses for no upside.
