Music Box

Music Box

Ancient
Create an Ethereal copy of the first Attack you play each turn.

The first Attack you play each turn is remembered as it starts, and once it finishes a clone of it, same upgrade level, is created in your hand with Ethereal added. The copy is a normal card: you pay its cost to play it, it does not trigger the relic again, and it Exhausts at end of turn if unplayed. The flag resets each turn.

When to take Music Box

Take it in decks with one expensive Attack you want twice, or many cheap ones: it doubles your best Attack each turn for its Energy cost. Play the one you want copied first.
