What we think of alpha

Alpha is an extremely powerful albeit slow ability. The first part of the chain is easy to play as it only costs 1 energy, but the two and three energy Beta and Omega that follow can be much more difficult to play without being punished. This is why it is recommended to only take this with energy relics or other sources of energy gain. Furthermore, it fits best into a thin deck in order to keep it consistent. Since it is quite slow, you might find that hallway fights don't require you to use this and in fact will make you take more damage if you do. The actual effect is devastating when it comes online and can finish most foes in two to three turns. It is also exceptionally powerful versus bosses with high health totals. This card is a build around card , usually requiring you to turtle with plenty of defence until it is ready to play. For this reason you often don't need any other sources of damage. It is very all or nothing, and is usually a poor addition to a large deck as it shuffles two useless cards into your deck that do nothing until all three are played. Additional draw effects and scry abilities can help you pull it off faster.
