Scrawl

ColorlessSkillRare
Draw cards until your Hand is full.
Exhaust.

The hand limit is 10, and Scrawl draws exactly enough cards to reach it.

  • Timing: Scrawl has already left your hand when it resolves, so playing it beside four other cards draws six, and playing it as your last card draws ten.
  • Exhausts: it exhausts afterward.
  • Upgrade: adds Retain, the whole point: hold it through a turn where the draw would be wasted, then fire it when your hand is empty.

When to take Scrawl
