Block Next Turn

Block Next Turn

Buff
At the start of your next turn, gain 4 Block.
  • Stored Block: at the start of your next turn, right after the Block wipe step, you gain Block equal to its stacks, unpowered, and the power removes itself. Several sources add into one pool.
  • Dodge and Roll: stores the Block it actually gained, so Dexterity boosts both halves.
  • Glitterstream: stores 5, or 7 upgraded, after running it through your Block modifiers.
  • Prolong: stores your current Block.
  • Ship in a Bottle: stores 10 flat.

Notes

The payout hook runs for every creature that starts a turn whether or not any Block was cleared, so Barricade and Blur do not stop it; the stored Block lands on top of what you kept. The number is fixed when the card is played, so Dexterity gained later that turn does not raise it. It never decays; only the turn-start payout spends it.
