Joss Paper
Uncommon
Counts Exhausts: each time it reaches 5 you draw 1 card at once, mid-turn, and any leftover carries on.
Not cleared: between combats, so 3 Exhausts in one fight and 2 in the next still pay out.
Ethereal cards: are tallied only at the end of the turn, so their draw arrives after you have finished acting.
Unlock: with the Arise epoch.
