Blight
Risk card and payoff-timing tracker
Blight is a useful card database target for explaining when a risky reward is a real plan and when it only makes the next fight worse.

Draft note
Risk cards should be judged by the next danger window before their ceiling. Blight-style picks can become powerful when the deck has draw, block, and a clear payoff loop, but they are traps when they add status pressure or setup cost before the deck can survive ordinary fights.
- Raise the card only when the deck already handles bad hands.
- Lower it when the next elite or boss punishes slow setup.
- Link it to strategy pages when the lesson is really about deck discipline.
When to skip it
Skip Blight when the deck still needs plain damage, block, or draw. A future payoff does not help if the next route removes too much HP before that payoff appears.
