Vambrace
Uncommon
The first time you gain Block from a card each combat, double the amount gained.
It starts each combat lit. The first time a card of yours gives you Block, the amount is doubled. The relic marks that card as the trigger and only closes once the card finishes resolving, so every Block gain from that one card is doubled, not just the first. Block from relics, orbs and powers neither triggers nor benefits. After that card it goes dark until the next combat.

When to take Vambrace
Rewards one huge Block card per fight, since only the first card that blocks each combat is doubled. Take it when your deck has a card that blocks 12 or more.
