Mimic

ColorlessSkillRare
Gain Block equal to the Block on another player.
Exhaust.

You target another player and gain Block equal to the Block they have right now, then the card Exhausts. The amount is read at the moment of play, so it copies a teammate's full stack after they have finished defending. Upgrading removes Exhaust so it can be used every shuffle. It only appears in multiplayer runs.
