Nightmare

Buff
Add 3 of a chosen card into your Hand next turn.

Nightmare has you pick a card in your hand; the card stays there while the power stores a clean clone of it, afflictions removed, and shows its name in the tooltip. Right before your next hand draw, 3 copies are created in your hand and the power removes itself. Copies keep the upgrade of the original.

Notes

Each Nightmare is its own instance, so casting it twice in a turn on different cards delivers both sets. The copies are generated cards. Because they arrive before the draw, you see them together with your new hand. Nightmare itself Exhausts and costs 3, or 2 upgraded.
