How to play Adrenaline
- Play it the moment you draw it. It costs nothing, and the energy and cards are only useful if you actually use them this turn.
- Play it before your other cards so the extra energy can fund a more expensive play. Holding it until the end of the turn throws away most of the value.
- Upgrade it when you can. The upgrade adds another energy, which is a huge swing on a 0-cost card.
Common mistakes
- Holding Adrenaline for a "better" turn. The card is already free; the best turn is the one you are in.
- Playing it after you have spent all your energy. The extra energy then goes unused.

Where to get Adrenaline
