Defect

Doubling your best card every turn is game-winning scaling; Ethereal means you must play it the turn you draw it.

Focus boosts every Orb’s output permanently — the core scaling stat for any Orb-based Defect deck.

Block plus two Frost orbs at once — the most efficient defensive card Defect has, and it scales with Focus.

A free Power every turn snowballs into unbeatable value in long fights; too slow for short ones.

A huge instant Focus spike that wins short fights outright — the decay only matters in drawn-out ones.

More Orb slots means more passive value every turn — foundational for any multi-Orb scaling deck.

Doubles your best Orb’s passive every turn — the engine behind Frost-wall and Lightning-ping decks.

Dumps all energy into repeated Evokes — a burst finisher that pairs with a charged Lightning or Dark orb.

Permanent extra draw compounds all game — one of the best early Powers to stabilize any Defect deck.

Four Evokes off one card is a massive burst — pair it with a charged Dark or Lightning orb to delete a target.
