Death March

NecrobinderAttackUncommon
Deal 8 damage.
Deals 4 additional damage for each card drawn during your turn.
  • Damage: base 8, plus 4 for each card you drew this turn, 9 plus 6 upgraded.
  • Counting: the code counts draw events on your turn but skips the normal hand draw, so your opening five cards and any extra start-of-turn cards from powers do not count.
  • Counts: draws from cards, relics and Souls in the middle of the turn do count.
  • Timing: the count is read when you play it, so play it last.
  • Example: Parse and then Death March is 8 plus 12, or 9 plus 18 upgraded.
