The Sealed Throne

RegentPowerAncient
Whenever you play a card, gain .

This Ancient Power costs 1 Energy plus 3 Stars, and once it is down every card you play afterwards gives 1 Star as it resolves. The gain fires just before the card's own effect, so a Star-cost card played right after still needs its price up front. A second copy stacks to 2 Stars per card. The upgrade drops the Energy cost to 0 but keeps the 3 Stars.
