Furnace

RegentPowerUncommon
At the start of your turn, Forge 5.
  • Trigger: the power fires at the start of each of your turns after the one you play it and Forges 5.
  • Forge: it has two parts, the first Forge of a combat creates a Sovereign Blade in your hand, a 2-cost Retain Attack starting at 10 damage.
  • Scaling: every Forge adds its amount to the damage of every Sovereign Blade you have, even Exhausted ones.
  • Example: so the Blade appears on turn 2 at 15 and grows by 5 each turn, with Retain keeping it in hand until you swing.
  • Upgrade: it Forges 7.

When to take Furnace

Good early in Act 1 for any Regent leaning on the Blade; it is the cheapest permanent Forge source and grows fastest in long fights. Play it turn 1 so the first Forge fires on turn 2.
