Hidden Gem

ColorlessSkillRare
A random card without Replay in your Draw Pile gains Replay 2.
  • Pick: on play the code lists every card in your Draw Pile that is playable, is an Attack, Skill or Power, and has no Replay yet, and picks one at random.
  • Replay: it gives the pick 2 for this combat, meaning it plays 2 extra times when you play it.
  • Upgrade: it grants Replay 3.
  • Display: you are shown which card was chosen.
  • Edge case: nothing happens if the Draw Pile is empty, and the card can never be produced by random card generation in combat.

When to take Hidden Gem

A bet on the average quality of your Draw Pile, so it suits small decks with few weak cards where the pick is likely worth tripling. In a 30-card deck of Strikes it is a coin flip.
