Whenever you play a card that costs or more, gain 4 Block.
Whenever you play a card that costs or more, gain 6 Block.
Whenever you play a card whose cost, as actually paid, is 2 Energy or more, you gain 4 Block (6 upgraded) before the card's effect resolves. It reads the resolved cost, so a Flatten made free by Osty, or a Melancholy discounted to 1, does not trigger, while a 1-cost card raised to 2 by Borrowed Time does. The Block is flat and the counter stacks.
When to take Danse Macabre
Best in decks built around expensive cards like Bury, Reap or Reanimate, where three a turn is 12 to 18 Block for 1 Energy. It rarely triggers in a Souls or Osty deck.
