I don't get why you named it after the first 3 digits of pie... *confused*

The wording is a little awkward, and might need some work.

Elaborate on "upkeep" a little. How does it differ from the "absorb X per turn" as is found on flooding?

Lastly, I notice you drop both the cost and the upkeep for the upgraded version. This seems like a little too strong of an upgrade benefit.

Typically, upgrading can be weighted at roughly 2 :underworld worth of effective cost.
Absorbing 1 :underworld per turn is typically weighted at roughly that amount already, so the effective bonus of the upgrade seems roughly twice as powerful as it should be.

Me, neither. Pi is a constant, thus it can't represent randomness.

Water -> Fire -> Air -> Earth -> Lightning -> Metal -> Light -> Darkness -> Wood -> Water

Me neither. Even if I'm more of a tau guy, naming an Entropy card after pi is just ... confusing. How does pi relate to randomness?

You said something about random ability. Care to elaborate a little about that?

Lol... there should be a really tiny slice missing, since 3.14 is a truncation of pie ;)
