Shroud

Shroud is an uncommon Necrobinder power costing 1 Energy that grants 2 Block whenever you apply Doom. This passive defensive effect scales with the frequency of your Doom application, providing a steady stream of Block that keeps you alive while building toward Doom execution.

Shroud pairs perfectly with Oblivion, which applies Doom on every card play for a turn of massive Block generation. Reaper Form makes every Attack apply Doom, triggering Shroud constantly. Deathbringer's AoE Doom application triggers Shroud for each enemy hit, and No Escape's scaling Doom provides growing Block returns.

In the Necrobinder Doom archetype, Shroud solves the defense problem that Doom-focused decks often face. Against aggressive bosses like Vantom and Kin Priest, Shroud generates enough passive Block from normal Doom plays to survive without dedicating Energy to defensive cards. The 1-Energy cost makes it easy to deploy early, and its value increases with every Doom card in your deck.
