Necronomicon + Dark Embrace + Fiend Fire = ???

[Starwild]

Heyo good peeps, anybody knows how these interact?
Does the 2nd Fiend Fire go off before the draw, or does this allow a whole new hand to Exhaust and cause damage?

EDIT: I expect the latter, but wanna make sure before I choose whether or not I take an available Dark Embrace.

Hi!

The wiki said it's work for Double Tap+ Fiend Fire (same thing I presume?) if you have Dark Embrace.

Fiend Fire

Mechanics

When copying this card (e.g. with Double Tap), the second use of Fiend Fire will deal no damage. The first use will have Exhausted all cards in hand, leaving none to Exhaust for the second.
Effects that can add cards to the hand in between uses (e.g. Dead Branch, Dark Embrace, Ink Bottle) can get around this.

Fantastic, thank you very much. :)
Should remember to check the Wiki first, next time...

You're may want a Dead Branch if you're gonna use a combo like that, to avoid exhausting your entire deck on the longer fights. Which is kind of a waste of Dead Branch's power, tbh.

Thanks for the advice, and no worries, it's more of a finisher in a deck that also has Fire Breathing, Evolve, Power Through, that 0-cost attack which adds a Dazed, Dual Wield, and two Uppercuts among others. I'm a bit worried about meeting the Heart without a bit more scaling - I do have Calipers, Barricade, Entrench, and two Body Slams but I don't trust them.

Nevertheless, the Fiend Fire just took out the Champ very nicely. Now, heading towards Awakened at A20.

Screwed up that fight, unfortunately.
