+*2 (oft-)targetable, elemental attacks - may be piercing, losing 1 range per monster hit.

-Therefore, most of the deck's cases come when there's a line of monsters, or when there's a ton of monsters at once. Of its cards, only [[Degeneration card|Degeneration]] is likely to be harmful; it polymorphs (which heals monsters), but tends to make easier monsters and inflicts [[malmutate]]. Thus, destruction gets few benefits from Triple Draw, though Nemelex's other two abilities work anywhere from decent to well (depending on what you actually get).
