For 0 Energy you draw 3 cards, 4 upgraded, and then a No Draw effect stops every other draw for the rest of that turn. Your normal start-of-turn draw next turn is unaffected. Because it blocks draws from cards and relics, play your other draw effects first and Battle Trance last.
When to take Battle Trance
Strong in any Ironclad deck, especially one that wants a big hand for Whirlwind, Fiend Fire or Second Wind. Take it in Act 1, and upgrade it whenever a rest site is free.
