Thrumming Hatchet

ColorlessAttackUncommon
Deal 11 damage.
At the start of your next turn, return this to your Hand.

One Energy for 11 damage, 14 upgraded. If you played it during your last turn, it returns to your hand before you draw on the next one. The check only asks whether it is already in hand, so it comes back from the discard pile, the draw pile or even the exhaust pile. In practice it is a 1 Energy attack you can play every turn of the fight.
