  • Unplayable.
  • Weak: if it is in your hand at the end of your turn you gain 1 stack.
  • Rules: the code flags the new Weak to skip its next duration tick when you had none, so it always survives into your next turn and cuts your Attacks by 25% for that turn.
  • Stacking: if you already had Weak it just adds a stack, and it repeats every turn it sits in hand.
  • Artifact negates it.

When to take Doubt

Remove it before Debt if you win with Attacks, though a Poison, Orb or Doom deck barely notices it. In combat, exhaust it early so it cannot fire again that fight.
