Choose a card in your Hand. It is free to play this combat.

Choose 1 card in your hand that currently costs Energy or Stars; cards already at 0 cannot be picked. That card costs 0 Energy and 0 Stars for the rest of the combat, through every reshuffle, retain and Replay. The change is on that one copy only, not on other copies in your deck. Unlike a this-turn discount, it keeps paying every time you draw the card again.
