Pael's Blood

Pael's Blood

Ancient
At the start of your turn, draw 1 additional card.

Your turn-start draw is raised by 1 on every turn of every combat, the first turn included. It modifies the draw count directly, so the extra card is part of the same draw as the rest of your hand rather than a separate draw event. There is no trigger to manage and no counter. It comes from Pael in the Hive.
