Compile Driver

DefectAttackCommon
Deal 7 damage.
Draw 1 card for each unique Orb you have.

It deals 7 (10 upgraded), then draws one card per distinct Orb type in your queue: two Frost and a Lightning draw 2. The count is taken as the draw resolves, after the attack. Five types exist, so 5 is the ceiling; an empty queue draws nothing.
