Sloth

Sloth

Debuff
You cannot play more than 3 cards each turn.

Sloth is the debuff you take if you pick the Sloth card during the Knowledge Demon's Curse of Knowledge, where the demon offers two curses and you pick one. It caps the number of cards you can play each turn at the stack, which is 3 for that card. Once you have started 3 card plays in a turn, every other card is unplayable until the turn ends.

Notes

The counter shown on the power is the number of cards played so far this turn, not the cap, and it resets at the start of each of your turns. Every card play counts, including 0-cost cards, so cheap filler eats your allowance. The power never decays. Three cards a turn favors expensive, high-impact cards and punishes draw engines; weigh it against the Disintegration offered beside it.
