Modern Horizons 3 (MH3)

Energy

The rule

Energy is a kind of counter: many cards give you some, often when they enter, and you remove it to pay for effects.

In play

You need cards that give energy and cards that spend it: Electrozoa taps every turn you do not pay one energy, so without another source it works against you.
