Eidolon

NecrobinderSkillRare
Exhaust your Hand.
If 9 cards were Exhausted this way, gain 1 Intangible.
  • Effect: it exhausts every other card in your hand one at a time, so each one fires exhaust triggers.
  • Intangible: if nine or more cards left your hand this way you gain 1, which caps every hit and HP loss at 1 through the coming enemy turn.
  • Full hand: nine others means a full hand of ten with Eidolon in it, and the card glows gold when that is true.
  • Upgrade: it drops the cost to 1.

When to take Eidolon

Only draft it if you can fill your hand on demand, though even below that it is a hand wide exhaust for 2 Energy. Upgrade it so 1 Energy leaves room to draw first.
