Scrape

Scrape is an uncommon Defect attack that deals 7 damage, draws 4 cards, and immediately discards any of those 4 drawn cards that cost more than 0 Energy — for 1 Energy. The net effect is dealing damage while filtering your draw pile to surface only zero-cost cards. In a Defect deck with many 0-cost cards like Zap, Dualcast, or Recursion, Scrape can reliably add 2-4 free cards to your hand.

Scrape works best in zero-cost-heavy decks where most drawn cards survive the filter. It pairs naturally with builds that rely on 0-cost Orb channels or free skills, ensuring each Scrape pays off. In high-cost-card decks it draws 4 and discards most of them, providing less practical value. Upgraded, the damage increases to 10, making the immediate attack component more meaningful while the draw-filter effect remains the same.
