Pull from Below

NecrobinderAttackUncommon
Deal 5 damage for each Ethereal card played this combat.

Counts every card you played this combat that was Ethereal at the moment it was played and hits that many times for 5 (7 upgraded). The count includes cards that only gained Ethereal from Sculpting Strike or Call of the Void, and it keeps growing all fight. With zero Ethereal plays it deals nothing. Each hit is a separate attack, so Strength and Vulnerable apply to each.

When to take Pull from Below

Best in a deck already leaning on Ethereal cards, where three or four of them make it a 1-cost attack worth 15 to 25 by mid fight. Pass in an Osty or Doom deck, where it is a blank.
