Aroma of Chaos
Upon trudging through a thick underbrush and making it into a clearing, you're hit with an unplaceable nostalgia. A mix of floral scents, putrid decay, and something else entirely. The scent grows stronger with each step, and you feel as though the world around you is warping and twisting. Overcome with a sense of shifting chaos, you begin to lose your sense of self.

Upgrade a card in your Deck.
You give in and your mind drifts... You see yourself communing with friends, fighting as a team, and dueling great foes. Is this a dream? Reality? Somehow both? Many sets of eyes perceive you and your dreams. Who are they...? You awaken after an unknown amount of time. The aroma weakens and its effects fade as you regain clarity. Upon restabilizing, you're more clearheaded than ever. What were those eyes?
Resisting the temptation to give in, you climb atop a tree where the aroma doesn't reach but its effects claw at your mind. Maintaining control is difficult; you tether your thoughts to your Core Principles. The aroma subsides.
Strategy Tip
Transform is higher variance but higher ceiling — take it early in Act 1 when your deck is mostly starter cards. Upgrade is the safer pick if you already have a key card that benefits from upgrading.
