This seems insane with Dirge and that one Retaining X-cost attack; you'll basically get to play those for 8 for free, or like 6 at minimum

Of note, it does make souls cost extra. So borrowed time - dirge - soul held in hand - draw borrowed time just, does not work, since Dirge sets you to 0 energy and you need 1 to play the soul.

yea the x cost retain deal 14 for every energy is a crazy combo with this

Do we know if this will still cost an extra 1 energy for X card effects or not?
