Ten damage (13 upgraded) for 1 Energy, and after the hit the card's cost is set to 0 for the rest of the combat, so every later play is free. Each copy tracks its own cost. Its name contains Strike, so Strike-counting effects apply.
When to take Momentum Strike
A good Common for long fights and any Defect deck that draws hard, since paying once makes every later draw a free hit. Take one early, two are fine, upgrade once it cycles fast.
