Fiddle

Fiddle

Ancient
At the start of each turn, draw 2 additional cards. You may not draw cards during your turn.

Two changes. Your start-of-turn hand draw is 2 cards larger, so 7 instead of 5. Any other draw you would make during your own turn is prevented outright; the relic flashes and nothing happens. Draws that happen while it is the enemy's turn still go through. Ancient relic offered by Vakuu at the start of Glory.

When to take Fiddle

Take it when your deck has few draw cards and wins with big-hand exhaust turns or scaling powers. Decline it if draw is your engine, since cards like Souls become dead text.
