Regret

Curse
Unplayable.
At the end of your turn, if this is in your Hand, lose 1 HP for each card in your Hand.

A Unplayable curse: if still in your hand at turn end, you lose 1 HP per card in hand, Regret included.

  • Example: a full 5 card hand with Regret costs 5 HP.
  • Timing: the count is taken just before the end of turn step, and the loss ignores Block, so no amount of Block prevents it.
  • Worst case: it hurts most on draw heavy turns where several cards sit unplayed.
