Wound

Status
  • It does nothing but fill a Hand slot and a draw.
  • It is not Ethereal, so it cycles through your deck for the rest of the fight until something Exhausts it.
  • Vantom, the Overgrowth boss, drops 3 into your discard pile with Dismember.
  • Test Subject in Glory carries Painful Stabs in its second form, adding 1 Wound for each hit that gets through your Block.
  • Your own Fight Through adds 2.
  • Statuses vanish when combat ends.
