Black Hole

RegentPowerUncommon
Whenever you spend or gain , deal 3 damage to ALL enemies.
  • A 1-cost Power with two triggers.
  • Spending Stars: when a card that spent Stars finishes resolving, every enemy takes 3 damage, 4 upgraded, once per card however many Stars it cost.
  • Gaining Stars: the same hit lands once per gain, so Venerate's 2 Stars is one trigger.
  • The damage is flat: Strength does not add to it, and Vulnerable and Thorns ignore it.
  • Divine Right's opening Stars arrive before the Power is out and never count.
