Mummified Hand helps the Lightning build pay for turns that contain several Powers. Each Power played makes a random card in hand free for that turn. With Storm active, the same Power play also channels Lightning, combining setup with an immediate combat benefit.
Mummified Hand’s random discount
The discount is random. If you need a particular expensive card to become free, the other cards in hand affect that chance. Playing a cheap card first can improve the remaining targets, but spending Energy on it may leave you unable to play the Power that triggers the relic. Work through the whole sequence before starting.
The free play is temporary. Do not value it as a permanent upgrade to the card or assume that recovering the card later will preserve the discount. Read its displayed cost again after it changes zones or returns to hand.
This relic also appears in the colorless Regent build, where Powers can support a broader generated-card plan. The payoff still depends on drawing Powers alongside worthwhile targets. Adding weak Powers merely to trigger the relic can make later hands worse. A useful Power plus a useful discounted card is the combination to seek; a large Power count alone does not solve damage, defense, or draw.
