A-tier

A 0-cost card that draws 2 (3 upgraded) and tosses a Burn into the discard pile. A Burn clogs the deck if ignored, but a 0-cost 2-to-3 draw is a huge tempo gain.

In Claw decks or 0-cost-focused decks, the Burn turns into a real asset: Rocket Punch unlocks, Recursion triggers its draw, and Turn the Tide generates Orbs. When the deck has no Status payoffs, Burns accumulate and pollute the pile, so mind your copy count. A deck that can weaponize Status cards gains enormous value here.

• Play alongside Status-payoff cards (Recursion, Compress, Turn the Tide)
• Claw decks love it as a way to dig for Claw copies quickly
• With Rocket Punch it keeps the 0-cost condition satisfied via the Burns generated each turn
• Upgrade to 3 draws. Prioritize the upgrade when Status payoffs exist

• Recursion: Draw 2 on Status draws. Overclock's Burns fuel the engine
• Compress: Converts Burns in hand into useful cards to prevent deck pollution
• Turn the Tide: Channels a random Orb each time a Burn is generated. Overclock feeds one Orb per turn
• Rocket Punch: Burns satisfy the 0-cost condition, making Rocket Punch free
• Claw: Overclock serves as a premier digging tool to find Claw copies
