Kingly Punch

RegentAttackUncommon
Deal 8 damage.
Whenever you draw this card, increase its damage by 4 this combat.

It deals 8, and every time you draw it, opening draw included, the damage rises by 4 for the rest of the combat; the first draw already makes it 12. Upgraded it starts at 10 and grows by 6 per draw. Like Rampage the growth is permanent for the fight, but tied to draws rather than plays, so top-of-deck tricks that redraw it grow it without spending Energy.

When to take Kingly Punch

A good Act 1 Attack in a small deck, hitting for 12 on its first draw and climbing after. Upgrade it early, since its growth outpaces almost every other 1-cost Attack by mid-Act 2.
