TNT

TNT is the 66th card that was added to the game. It was added on the 14th of January 2022.
It costs 4 gold to place, has no attack, and 4 health. When the owner's turn starts, or this card is Powered, its counter increases by 1. Additionally, any damage from the Burn status that would be taken by this card is instead added to the counter. When the counter reaches 4, this card is killed, and the opponent's King takes 3 damage, plus all their other cards take 2 damage.
= Strategy =
This card as a whole is based around stalling as much as possible in order to bring its counter up to 4. However, being Powered allows this card to be charged much quicker than normal. It is therefore advised to Power one TNT at a time, unless one utilizes strategies to power multiple cards at the same time.
= Synergies =
====== Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate ======
This card, especially when combined with the passive card Extra Safe, is a very efficient method of instantly powering the TNT, dealing more than twice the amount of damage that Arrows does for 11 gold, while also blocking damage from the enemy. Keep in mind that it is still weak to non-direct damage, such as from Spell Cards or Burn.
====== Redstone Repeater ======
This card is also good for quickly powering TNT, or even multiple of them, but it requires that it has the maximum charge of 4 powers each turn.
====== Flint And Steel ======
While normally inferior to Redstone Torch, if the TNT already has some Burn on it from other sources, it can allow for TNT to charge significantly quicker.
====== Oak Button ======
While it is capable of charging the TNT instantly, it requires 10 gold on top of the TNT's 4 cost, which is almost thrice the cost of Arrows. It is best used to blow up the TNT when there is no other option for powering.
= Counters =
====== Magma Block ======
The opponent can't control which cards Magma Block burns, so TNT can take advantage of it to charge itself much quicker, especially if there are multiple Magma Blocks.
= Anti-synergies =
====== Other Powered Redstone Cards ======
If there are other Powered cards in play, they might steal power from RNG-based Power cards such as Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate or Oak Button. It is best to focus on one TNT at a time, in order to increase the chance of it exploding.
