Two Energy deals 14 damage (20 upgraded) and then puts a Free Skill stack on you. The next Skill you play from your hand costs 0, whatever its printed cost. The code sets no expiry on the stack, so it waits until you play a Skill, even on a later turn, and it is spent by whichever Skill comes first.
When to take Pounce
A good Silent Attack once your deck holds 2 and 3-cost Skills to spend the free play on. Take it in Act 1 or 2, and the upgrade to 20 makes it one of the best 2-cost hits.
