Pale Blue Dot

RegentPowerUncommon
If you play 5 or more cards in a turn, draw 1 card at the start of your next turn.

A 1-Energy Power that counts the cards you played on your previous turn.

  • Threshold: if that count is 5 or more, you draw 1 extra card, 2 upgraded, on top of the normal hand.
  • Counts: every play counts, Shivs and created cards included, as does the Power itself on the turn you play it.
  • First check: there is no previous turn on turn one, so the first check is turn two.
  • Copies: two copies add two bonuses.

When to take Pale Blue Dot

For 0-cost Regent decks that already play five cards a turn, since then it pays a card every turn for 1 Energy. In a deck of 1 and 2-cost cards you will rarely hit five, so pass.
