Machine Learning

DefectPowerRare
At the start of your turn, draw 1 additional card.

It adds 1 to your hand draw at the start of every turn for the rest of the fight; the power stacks, so two copies draw 7. The bonus applies only to the turn-start draw, not to draw effects on cards. Upgrading changes nothing about the draw but adds Innate, so the card starts every fight in your opening Hand.

When to take Machine Learning

Take it at any point, since a permanent extra card for 1 Energy is the Defect's best Rare Power outside the orbs. Upgrade it early: Innate runs it from turn 1 of every fight.
