Oblivion

NecrobinderSkillRare
Whenever you play a card this turn, apply 3 Doom to the enemy.

A free Skill that marks one enemy for the turn: after every card you play, that enemy gains 3 Doom (4 upgraded). Oblivion does not count itself, the debuff vanishes at the end of your turn, and two copies on the same enemy stack to 6 per card. Doom kills the enemy at the end of its turn once it matches its HP.

When to take Oblivion

Play it first, then everything else. In a deck of 0-cost cards and Souls it converts a big turn into a kill, so take it whenever Doom is your plan, and take the upgrade too.
