What this card does

Wyrdeer has an ability called Hurried Gait which lets you draw one extra card once per turn.

It uses the attack Extrasensory to deal damage based on how many cards are in each player's hand.

Signature ability

Hurried Gait

Once during your turn, you may draw a card.

The key feature is that its main attack deals significantly more damage if both players hold the same number of cards. This encourages you to keep your hand size balanced rather than hoarding or discarding too quickly.
