Hellraiser
Buff
Whenever you draw a card containing "Strike", it is played against a random enemy.
Hellraiser: (2 Energy, 1 upgraded, Rare, Ironclad) is a single on/off buff.
On a Strike draw: whenever a card carrying the Strike tag is drawn, by the hand draw or any other draw effect, it is played at once against a random enemy at no Energy cost.
Timing: the auto-play happens as the draw resolves, so the Strike never sits in your hand. Attacks fired this way use a cast animation and a fire effect.

Notes
The tag decides, not the name: Twin Strike, Pommel Strike, Perfected Strike and every character's basic Strike count, 22 cards in all. When every enemy is in a state where it cannot lose HP, such as a Skulking Colony at its shell limit, auto-plays stop after 9 per turn and a thought bubble says so. Unplayable Strikes are simply discarded.
