If there are at least 10 Academic cards in your cemetery, put a Curse of Suffering token into your EX area.
At the start of your end phase, you may bury the top card of your deck.
Once per turn, when this takes ability damage, give it
+2.
QCan I check what the top card of my deck is before deciding if I want bury it with this follower's "At the start of your end phase, you may bury the top card of your deck" ability?
ANo, you can't.
QWhat is ability damage?
AAbility damage is all damage except for damage dealt by two followers in combat or by a follower attacking a leader. Damage from Strike abilities, although triggered by an attack, is considered ability damage.
