White Noise

White Noise is an uncommon Defect skill costing 1 Energy that adds a random Power card to your hand that costs 0 Energy to play this turn, then Exhausts. This combines random Power generation with a free play effect, providing immediate board development without additional Energy investment.

White Noise synergizes with Storm, which channels Lightning when the generated Power is played, and with Subroutine, which gains 1 Energy when the Power is played. The random Power might be a Defragment, Echo Form, or any other Power, providing high variance but consistently positive outcomes. Creative AI provides a similar effect each turn.

For the Defect, White Noise is a good utility card that provides random but free Power development. Against bosses like Kaiser Crab where accumulating Powers wins, White Noise adds to your board without Energy cost. Against aggressive bosses like Soul Fysh, the free Power might be a game-saving Buffer. Pick White Noise when your deck values Power density, especially alongside Storm and Subroutine.
