Maybe lower the damage taken?

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.

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.

One idea to make up would be to have the spell disable your normal draw for 2 to 3 turns after.

Nice idea. Card has been updated with this!

Looks interesting, do both the unupped and upped summon an unupped Adrenaline Crash?
Also, is it possible to deck out with this?

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

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.

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.

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 :time'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 :P

It does compare more directly to :time based draw mechanics. More specifically, draw based card advantage
While this is typically a jealously guarded core of the :time element, I actually think its okay here.
1) It justifies a time maninuplation like effect without actually thematically requiring time manipulation per say (via an adrenaline overload)
2) The draw bonus it provides, while a much stronger burst, is weaker in the long run than under :time
3) It serves a different niche than most of time's draw based card advantage
-Time provides means of consistent draw based card advantage via hourglass and its nymph
-This card provides distinct burst drawing, with subsequent down time and significant penalty / side effect
-Time's draw capacity can be readily chained
-This card's utility is not amenable to chaining (it would quickly kill you and loses efficiency beyond the first use)
I think this is enough to keep it very distinct both thematically and mechanically.

Modified with name change to ready for crucible.

The image for Energy Crash is broken. However, since that is not part of the original card, it will be accepted into the Crucible. Please make sure you fix the image though.
