Burning Pact

IroncladSkillUncommon
Exhaust 1 card.
Draw 2 cards.

Choose one card in your Hand to exhaust, then draw 2 (3 upgraded). The exhaust comes first, so a Dark Embrace draw resolves before the 2. If your Hand is otherwise empty, nothing exhausts and you still draw. Net card count is +1, or +2 upgraded.
