ART: N/A IDEA: Zawadx NOTES: Boosts life's rushing and drawing capabilities. Really good synergy with adrenastaves, can also help mono rushes and stalls. Card advantage is always a good thing. Adrenaline Crash card: Spoiler for Hidden: Seems simpler than 'blocks draws for X turns'. The damage from Adrenaline crash is unpreventable, like SoSac. SERIES:

Seems weak compared to SoB (although I suppose shards are more powerful than normal cards anyways, but shh).

Maybe lower the damage taken?

SoB draws your opponent cards tho, which is a huge disadvantage, especially in pvp.

One idea to make up would be to have the spell disable your normal draw for 2 to 3 turns after.
In that sense you really are just drawing sooner. It also works out well thematically, like the crash a person gets after gulping an energy drink.

Nice idea. Card has been updated with this!

Note: zero cost would just have nothing in the corner:



Looks interesting, do both the unupped and upped summon an unupped Adrenaline Crash?

Also, is it possible to deck out with this?

You're right. Though the 0 can be used as an exception to display that the Adrenaline Crash card can never be played.
Both generate unupped Adrenaline Crash. Upped Adrenaline Crash is like Upped Malignant Cell.

It can cause deck out if used with too few cards in deck. The Crash cards are placed after the draw.

This inspired round 2 war event card

Just downright bad if comparable to SoB, Precognition, and pretty much any other draw-boosting card.

I agree for the unupgraded. Not for the upgraded.
The upgraded gives an effective 1 card advantage for the price of 20 life over 2 turns.
For decks that can compensate via empathic bond / jade staff etc. It could be worth the price.

In a pinch, +4 cards can be a major game saver.
Also, since the player has to actually draw those adrenaline crashes to feel the effect, it makes a nice soft counter to eternity locks.


The unupgraded feels a little weak...
I would suggest, make them both draw 4 and put 2 crashes on deck, then just go with a standard cost reduction for the upped version.

Upped draws 4 cards, which is huge in terms of card advantage. It should be as potent as a mini-fractal. Which is why I tried to ensure it didn't become OP.

Can they be compared to SoB tho? SoB draws for your opponent and gives you no card advantage. As for precog, my reasonings for making upped weaker were:

1. Card advantage is 's domain. So time's draw spells are cheaper than any other element's one.
2. Life has more potent combos using draw from adrenaline and to a smaller extent mitosis. Time also has SoR, but that's potent on Big creature while Adren works best on smaller creatures. So Card draw for life needs to be handled with care.

I can make unupped 4 cost version of upped if people feel it's really weak, since unupped life isn't THAT OP

[AD TienzuStorm]

A name change would be nice, as of having another card (which has a very different effect) in the name is kinda confusing. Energy Rush maybe? I dunno, just minor detail that's nagging me
