Second Wind
IroncladSkillUncommon
It walks through every non-Attack card in your hand one at a time: exhaust the card, gain 5 Block (7 upgraded), move to the next. Skills, Powers, Statuses and Curses all count. Because the Block comes in separate pieces, Dexterity is added once per card, and anything that fires on an exhaust fires once per card. Attacks stay in your hand.
When to take Second Wind
Fits an Exhaust Ironclad deck, where each card exhausted is worth Block, a draw or damage on top of the 5 you get. It also cheaply clears Curses and Wounds.
