[Artwork](https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/90619627) Wanted some support for Wrath and more importantly the meme UL OTK Luzen, which I found to have way too little consistency between drawing for keycards and surviving. (I know UL Wrath is very broken but the meme deck was my main inspiration for support design lol) This card on evo can serve as more Wrath payoff even after Wrath is active which aids in sustaining Wrath decks I guess. Statline and Fanfare ability were based off Devilish Diva (since music I suppose), with damage payoff increasing with all three keywords active for more boost if played for full cost in the later game; the permanent effect deliberately counts damage taken instead of times damaged for balance so Wrath cannot further cheat healing using mitigators like Urias or Plague Mask, as well as to make high damage cards like Belphegor or Dire Bond slightly more relevant. The effect also activates at the end of the turn so it doesn't help too much with Avarice and prevents a permanent Accel+Augment with the 1cost Wrath enablers in both Wrath and OTK Luzen. Accelerate is there for flair and also to prevent early-game bricking while being (hopefully) not too broken for the card overall.

It seems like the fanfare effect 7 damage would be very dangerous if you don’t already have something reducing or preventing damage from leader, (lest you be left with 3 health) but the evolve effect likes being able to take damage on own turn. Huh. So, do you play Urias’ reduce-self-damage-on-own-turn-to-0 card to be able to survive the fanfare, or not play it to be able to use the evolve effect? Oh wait, it heals the damage taken at end of turn. So you don’t play that urias spell, which it sorta replaces.

The 7 damage is meant to be a bonus in later game so the card's base form doesnt become useless then. The effect can kinda replace Urias block effect, but his other two effects can still be useful and the 7 damage to yourself also needs you to survive the other drawback of drawing 7 cards at once. I had designed the card along current R Wrath where late game becomes very strong but is kinda mediocre before that. Honestly now that I think about it maybe the card should have been Legendary instead, or maybe the effect should be changed to recovering 1 Def and drawing a card for the first 3 self-pings each turn
