Channel 1 random Orb.
Why B-tier:
Cheap orb generation that fuels Evoke and Focus payoffs; randomness is fine when any orb helps.

Chaos is flexible orb volume, not precise scaling
Chaos is best when any orb type advances the plan. It gets weaker when the deck needs a specific Frost, Lightning, Dark, or Plasma outcome on the current turn.
Pick it when
- Focus, evoke effects, or orb slots already make random channels valuable.
- The deck needs cheap orb density more than another expensive payoff.
- Several possible orb outcomes would be acceptable against the next elite or boss.
Pass or delay when
- The fight requires an exact orb type on a narrow turn and random output can miss the breakpoint.
- The deck already fills orb slots faster than it can evoke or benefit from them.
- A damage, Block, draw, or energy card would solve the next fight more directly.
Matchup notes
- Against Aeonglass, cheap passive output can help if it avoids extra low-value card plays later.
- Against Corrupt Heart, Chaos needs Focus or evoke support so the random channel offsets the card-play tax.
- In short hallway fights, it is usually a role-player: good when the deck wants any orb, mediocre when it needs a specific answer.
Common misreads
- Treating a random orb as a guaranteed Frost or Lightning turn.
- Taking more orb filler after the deck already lacks payoff.
- Playing it before checking whether the current orb slots are worth overwriting or pushing forward.
