Reap

NecrobinderAttackCommon
Retain.
Deal 27 damage.

A Retained attack that deals 27 (33 upgraded) to one enemy. Retain means it stays in your hand across turns until you choose to play it, so it never rots in a hand where you cannot afford it. It has no other effect; the entire card is the damage number. It counts as a card costing 3 for any effect that checks cost.
