Corinth has a unique charge power that allows you to add new cards to your deck over the course of the game. This power allows you to spend 1 charge to look at 3 random cards (that are Immortal legal and that you meet the thresholds to play,) and choose one to put into your hand. Corinth's passive power will cause you to skip your normal draw phase, but at the end of your turn you will put your hand and crypt into your deck and draw 4 cards instead.

In Perfect 10, you begin the game with 10 resource points and 5 of each threshold… but you are only allowed to play 1 card per turn! Build your own deck and prove to your adversaries that it’s the Perfect 10!
