Ripple Basin
Uncommon
If you did not play any Attacks during your turn, gain 4 Block.
At the end of each of your turns it checks whether you finished playing any Attack that turn. If none, you gain 4 Block. The Block is unpowered, so Dexterity does not raise it, and only your own Attacks count. It lights up at the start of each turn and goes dark the moment you play an Attack. Uncommon, 225 Gold, unlocked by the Civilization epoch.

When to take Ripple Basin
For decks that win without Attacks, like Poison, Doom, Orb or Thorns builds, this is a free Defend most turns. A deck that attacks nearly every turn gets almost nothing from it.
