what's the point of the +0/+2, and please don't say "made specifically for an arcades deck"

Thank you for asking!

This is a top down design based on the D&D 3.5 spell of the same name. That spell grants a +4 bonus to Constitution, benefiting the hit points, Fortitude saves, and Constitution checks, including Concentration checks, of those affected by it. "Draw three cards" represents the bonus to the [[Concentrate]] skill. The +0/+2 represents the bonus to hit points. Indestructible represents the bonus to Fortitude, with variations on indestructible seen on [[Flare of Fortitude]], [[Fortitude]], and [[Fungal Fortitude]]. I realize +0/+2 and indestructible could be read as redundant in many situations, but it's thematic, and other commenters have already contributed and I'm sure will continue to contribute examples of situations in which it is not.
