Pathetic Grind

The only idea I added to the card was to make the cost change with upgrade, since there was no given data for that. I went with it since I think it made the card extra pathetic, which fits thematically for the idea of a card called "Pathetic" Grind. You gimp yourself so hard by even having this card in your deck, let alone playing it during a battle, all for... 1 Max HP. Truly pathetic.

There are some limited circumstances where you could have this card pop off. Let it exhaust due to the Ethereal, then Exhume it near the end of the fight. If you find Dual Wield, you can play it (hypothetically) an infinite amount of times in a fight, which seems anti-fun to me, but people are free to play how they want. Pathetic Grind also would pair well with Orange Pellets - in the case that you are multiplying the card via Dual Wield, you would almost always have an Attack, a Skill, and Pathetic Grind (power) in your hand in order to cleanse the Vulnerable and Weak stacks.

I kinda feel like this card being so poorly designed is the point.

Should cost 0 by default and upgraded be 2-3 HP instead. Otherwise, this card is "Pathetic" indeed for what little it gives you.

Hope you get this card at the start of Neow and be gimped for 20+ battles to get a decent chunk of health. Yeesh

Beyond that, I love the artwork and 'theme' of the card.

wow what a [Decent] card! It's niche but sure is [Barely usable at best] if you happen to get it at the very start of a run from neow out of the rare card pool AND artifacts to nerf or outright become immune to weak/vulnerable! Much balance.
