Pagestorm

NecrobinderPowerUncommon
Whenever you draw an Ethereal card, draw 1 card.

A 1-Energy Power, 0 upgraded: draw 1 more whenever you draw a card with Ethereal.

  • Trigger: fires on every draw, including the hand you draw at the start of your turn.
  • Chain: if the extra card is Ethereal too, it fires again, so a deck full of Ethereal cards chains.
  • Copies: a second copy draws 2 per trigger.
  • Unplayed: Ethereal cards still exhaust at end of turn if you do not play them.

When to take Pagestorm

Worth a slot only when the deck runs five or more Ethereal cards, since then it is steady extra draw and rarely fires with just two or three. Upgrade it for the cost cut to 0.
