Bullet Time

SilentSkillRare
You cannot draw additional cards this turn. ALL cards in your Hand are free to play this turn.

Every non-X card in your Hand becomes free for the turn, then you cannot draw any more cards this turn; the next turn's normal draw is unaffected. Cards added to your Hand afterward, like Shivs from Blade Dance, are not free. X-cost cards keep their cost. It costs 3 Energy, or 2 upgraded, which leaves 1 to spend on an X card or a created card.
