Ladies and gentlebeings, Ophidian 2350's Rise of Champions expansion feature a new mechanic called Quick-draw. It allows you to make more efficient, more powerful plays that will leave your opponent cowering in fear every time you reach for your arsenal.

This is how it works:
{R} After you draw a Quick-draw card during the Wave, If you meet the discipline and level requirements to play the card, you may reveal it and pay any additional costs to use the Quick-draw effect.

Quick-draw effects can be anything, including playing the card for less CP, drawing another card, destroying a card in play, or even gaining CP or Cheer! The catch is, to gain the extra effects, you need to make sure you have ways to draw your Quick-draw cards during the Wave. While you probably know of several ways to do this already, you can be sure RoC will include even more.
