Outbreak! is a History Collection that draws inspiration from pandemics.
One of my featured cards is Black Death.

turnstart If you have played Black Death this game, your opponent loses -1 ppt this turn. Additionally, for each turn this card remains in your hand, the penalty doubles from the previous turn.

References:

  • The ability is inspired by the way the Black Death spread and intensified over time, causing increasing devastation.
  • The energy cost and power values of the Black Death card, 13 and 50 respectively, are meant to reflect the peak of the plague in 1350.

so in a normal game where you draw it turn 1 and then turn 6, it'll get to 512 power at the end?

#

and also doubles in power for every sudden death turn

#

Correct, but how often you are really going to see it turn 1 and have the energy to play it and cycle it right?

#

Also it has minimal impact until Round 5

#

And how really often you have a Sudden Death turn?

#

It's balanced.

#

yea it's the kind of card that has a 8/18 chance to be best in class, but otherwise it's kinda useless

It's that high risk, high reward kind of card we need.

#

Also, it combos with Plague Doctor.

#

Since you have to play it.
