Chemical X wording

[PariahG]

Hi there guys. I've been looking at the wording for Chemical X and it is misleading. Saying that the effects increase by 2 means that the values, for instance the damage done by whirlwind, increase by 2. In fact that is not what the relic does - the relic makes the X cost cards repeat an additional 2 times. The effects themselves don't change at all.

Can I suggest changing the wording to be a little less misleading? "Makes your X cost cards repeat an additional 2 times", for instance, I feel leaves no room for confusion.

Next week someone will complain they used a whirlwind with 3 energy and it didnt repeat the whirlwindx3 attack 2 more times but instead it did a whirlwindx5.
Your wording is not any clearer, in fact it may be worse.

Idk there are a ton of ways to clarify this, but don't hold your breath. People still get justifiably tricked into thinking the boot procs at 0 damage when block's not involved.

Quick fixes:
"Whenever you play an X-cost card, gain 2 EN first."
"You have +2 EN when spending it all on X-cost cards."
etc.

@teekay I see your point. It still needs to be looked at though, as the effects themselves are not actually increased by 2.

Zu's suggestion may be closer to the right thinking though, "Your X cost cards are played as though they have 2 additional energy" perhaps?

Or maybe change the cards themselves to actually say X+2 (X+3 when upgraded, for those cards that go X+1).
