Offering

IroncladSkillRare
Lose 6 HP.
Gain .
Draw 3 cards.
Exhaust.

Free to play: you lose 6 HP, gain 2 Energy and draw 3 cards (5 upgraded), then the card exhausts. The HP loss comes first and is coded as unblockable and unpowered, so Block, Dexterity and Strength never change it, and it counts as HP lost on your turn for every payoff that watches for that. The draw comes last, so the new cards can use the Energy.

When to take Offering

One of the best Rares in the pool: take it in Act 1 in almost any deck and upgrade it early for two more cards at the same HP cost. Pass only if the run is already bleeding HP.
