Evil Eye

IroncladSkillUncommon
Gain 8 Block.
Gain another 8 Block if you have Exhausted a card this turn.

You gain 8 Block, then the card checks the combat log for any card of yours exhausted this turn; if it finds one it grants a second 8 Block as a separate gain. Exhaust-keyword cards, True Grit and Ethereal exhausts from this turn all count, but exhausts from last turn do not. The card glows gold when the bonus is live. Upgraded, each half is 11.
