This is one for everyone like me who hyper-optimizes every minute of this game. This discovery comes in two parts:

1. If you over-exert yourself during a day, you will not regain all your energy when you sleep that night--only half. Your energy gain is also decreased if you stay up past midnight, getting worse the longer you stay up.

2. HOWEVER! If you leveled up in any skill during the day, then your energy will be fully refreshed that night anyway, no matter how late you stayed up and even if you were over-exerted. This is the part I didn't know, and I have been using it to my advantage since I learned it.

I have a question about the interaction between [[Battered Golem]], [[Meria, Scholar of Antiquity]], and [[Bumbleflower’s Sharepot]].

I have a Meria deck that revolves around playing tons of cheap artifacts that ping opponents using stuff like [[Firebrand Archer]]. Battered Golem is a big combo piece because it allows me to go mana-positive by tapping it just before playing a cheap artifact.

My question is this: I tap Golem, then play Bumbleflower’s Sharepot. What I want to do is have Golem untap because Sharepot entered, immediately re-tap it for mana using Meria, and THEN have Sharepot create its Food, allowing Golem to untap again. Is that sequence allowed, or is the Food forced to be created first?
