Runic Pyramid
Ancient
At the end of your turn, you no longer discard your Hand.
Hand never discards: everything you did not play is still there next turn, and you draw your usual 5 on top.
Still fires: Ethereal cards still Exhaust and cards with end-of-turn effects still fire.- Stays until played: any card that reaches your hand stays until you play it, Exhaust it or discard it yourself, so the hand fills up fast in a draw-heavy deck.
