The Graveyard, explained
In most deck-builders, exhausting a card sends it away for the run. The Necrobinder does not. Her Graveyard catches those cards and puts them to work.
Why it matters
Exhaust used to be a one-way door. For the Necrobinder it is a fuel bin. Cards you exhaust become ammo for her summons.
That changes how you build her deck:
- Exhaust is no longer a loss.
- Deliberate exhaust becomes a plan.
- The Graveyard grows as the run goes.
Normal exhaust vs the Graveyard
| Situation | A normal deck | The Necrobinder |
|---|---|---|
| You exhaust a card | It leaves for the run | It lands in the Graveyard |
| You want it back | Usually gone | Spend it through her summon effects |
| Deck-building | Avoid exhaust | Plan exhaust on purpose |
How to use it
Send cards to the Graveyard on purpose. Then spend them through her summon effects to bring Osty and pile Doom.
The trick is choosing what to exhaust. Wrong picks starve the Graveyard; right picks feed the loop.
What we are still verifying
The exact cost to pull a card from the Graveyard, and which effects draw from it, are not locked in our notes. We mark them pending and check the build.
The shape is clear: exhaust is fuel. Use it like one.
Spend exhaust on purpose
Cards that exhaust leave your deck, which thins it for the cards that stay. Build around exhausting setup cards to make your payoff cards fire more often. Treat exhaust as a resource you spend to sharpen the deck, not a cost you avoid.
