Automation

Automation

Buff
Every 10 cards you draw, gain Energy.
  • Counter: starts at 10, and every card you draw, whether from the turn's hand draw or from a card effect, ticks it down by 1.
  • At 0: you gain Energy equal to the stack count and the counter resets to 10.
  • Automation: the source, an Uncommon colorless Power that costs 1 and gives 1 stack. The upgrade makes the card cost 0 and changes nothing about the payout.

Notes

Each play of Automation creates a separate instance with its own countdown, so two copies each pay 1 Energy per 10 draws on their own schedules. The number shown on the icon is cards remaining, not the stack count. The counter carries across turns and the power never decays, so a plain 5-card draw means a payout every second turn.
