More
- What it needs
- Take reliable second draws before stacking more unsupported payoffs.
- Pick-Two
- It grows only on your second draw each turn. A third draw that turn does not add another trigger.
- Sealed vs Draft
- Count repeatable looters and recruit spells, including ways to draw on the opponent's turn.
- Two-Headed Giant
- Track your draws separately. A teammate drawing cards does not trigger your Apothecary, even during the shared turn.
- Watch out
- Only the second draw each turn adds a counter; extra draws beyond it do not.
