Wrought in War

RegentAttackCommon
Deal 7 damage.
Forge 7.
  • It deals 7 damage, then Forges 7.
  • The first Forge of a fight creates Sovereign Blade in your Hand, a 2 Energy Retain attack that starts at 10 damage.
  • Every Forge adds to the Blade's damage for the rest of the combat, even a Blade sitting in the Exhaust Pile.
  • Example: one Wrought in War makes the Blade a 17 damage card, upgraded it hits for 9 and the Blade for 19.
  • Both hits are normal attacks, so Strength and Vulnerable apply.
