Adrenaline

SilentSkillRare
Gain .
Draw 2 cards.
Exhaust.

For 0 Energy you gain 1 Energy, or 2 once upgraded, and draw 2 cards, then the card exhausts. The energy arrives before the draw, so you can already spend it on whatever you find. It replaces itself in hand and leaves you up 1 or 2 Energy for the turn.
