Diamond Diadem
Ancient
Whenever you play 2 or fewer cards in a turn, take half damage from enemies.
The Diadem counts cards you play each turn and shows the count on its icon. When your turn ends with 2 or fewer plays, including zero, it applies the Diamond Diadem power: enemies deal 50% less damage during the enemy turn that follows. The counter resets every turn, so each turn is judged on its own. It comes from Nonupeipe.

When to take Diamond Diadem
Take it for decks built around one or two big plays a turn, X-cost bombs or 3- and 4-cost Attacks. Poor fit for a Shiv or Claw deck playing five cards a turn.
