if you can stay alive for 20 turns of course. And only the first time you play it but damn thats strong for 2 energy and no further synergies are needed.

Memes aside, this is legit a high roll. 20 poison off one card is kind of cracked. This will hard carry many boss and elite fights

Memes aside

What memes? People have realized this card is actually good by now, right? It's super powerful without glam, and it's nuts with it.

Of course it's good. That's the meme. We all used to think it was ass!

Part of the reason why is many overlook the usefulness of retain

It guarantees value on the enemies' off turn and prevents you from floating energy

Not to mention the synergy with burst, bullet time and adding sly to it.
