Pillar of Creation

RegentPowerUncommon
Whenever you create a card, gain 3 Block.

A 1-Energy Power. Each time a card is generated into the fight by you, you gain 3 Block (4 upgraded). The code fires once per card, and the Block is unpowered, so Dexterity, Frail and even the No Block penalty leave it alone. Random Colorless cards, Debris, copies and Shivs all count as long as you created them.
