Reave

NecrobinderAttackCommon
Deal 9 damage.
Add a Soul into your Draw Pile.

Deals 9 (11 upgraded) to one enemy, then shuffles a Soul into a random spot in your draw pile. A Soul is a 0 cost Skill that draws 2 cards and Exhausts; the upgraded Reave makes a Soul+, which draws 3. The Soul is created rather than drawn, so it appears in the pile without costing you a draw, and each play of Reave adds another.
