Vexing Puzzlebox
Rare
At the start of each combat, add a random card into your Hand. It's free to play this turn.
First turn: a random card from your character's unlocked pool is created in your hand, its cost set to 0 for that turn only.- Basic, Ancient and Event cards are filtered out, along with cards that cannot be generated in combat. The pick is uniform, so a Rare is as likely as any Common.
- It counts as a created card and vanishes after the fight.
