Tip the Hourglass card art

Bury 5. Draw 1. Exhaust.

Hourglass skill uncommon 0 mana Exhaust

An enabler: it banks a resource that a payoff card later cashes in.

What it doesRead from the engine's own effect table.
EffectValueWhat it does
Bury5Move the top value cards of your draw pile to the discard (never forces a reshuffle) and gain value Dust (a fight-long counter)
Draw1Draw this many cards from your draw pile, reshuffling your discard back in if it runs out.
Exhaust

After it resolves this card leaves for the rest of the turn, so a mid-turn reshuffle cannot hand it back. It returns to your deck at the start of your next turn — this is not permanent removal.

⌛ Bury
The top cards of your deck go to your discard and you gain that much Dust. Buried cards return when your deck reshuffles; nothing is lost for the run. The cards always go, but some foes drink time and thin the Dust you bank.
💨 Exhaust
After you play it, this card leaves for the rest of the turn. You get it back at the start of your next turn.
