Once/Turn, Main, Response: Pay 1 IKZ: If you discarded a card this turn, the next card you play this turn costs 2 less IKZ.
How to play it
- The ability costs 1 and saves up to 2, so use it only before a card costing 2 or more. Discard first with Mirage Frog, Water Orb, Aquatic Veil or Kaiya Mizumi.
- It applies to the very next card you play, so activate it right before the card you want cheaper, such as Pulled Under.
- It also works in a response window. After Water Orb's discard, Benzai can cut Invigorating Concoction to 1 IKZ during the same attack.
