Spoils of Battle

RegentSkillCommon
Forge 5.
Draw 2 cards.

Playing it Forges 5, then draws 2 cards.

  • Forge: works like this: the first time you Forge in a combat, a Sovereign Blade appears in your hand, a 2-cost Retain attack that starts at 10 damage.
  • Later Forges: add their amount to every Blade you own that combat, including copies in the exhaust pile.
  • Example: the first Spoils gives you a 15-damage Blade, and each later one adds 5 more.
  • Upgraded: it Forges 8.
  • Draw order: comes after the Forge, so the Blade is already in hand when the new cards land.
