At the end of your turn, after other end of turn effects have resolved, a card select opens and you keep up to 1 card, 2 upgraded, in your Hand through the discard.
Only cards that would not Retain anyway are offered, and you may pick none.- The effect lasts one turn, so you choose again each turn, and copies add together.
