Ghost Seed

Strikes and Defends gain Ethereal.

Every Basic-rarity Strike and Defend gains Ethereal when combat begins or when it enters combat later. Ethereal cards left in hand at end of turn are Exhausted, so your starters thin themselves out fight by fight and count for exhaust triggers. Named cards like Pommel Strike are not touched. Shop relic, 200 Gold.
