Discussion Steam up and Scorched Earth?

[TheAipomArchives]

When you use steam up does it also qualify for scorched earth? Because your both discarding it from your hand. Or do you need 2 separate energies?

2 separate energies, my guy.

Yea, you would still need 1 basic fire energy for Steam Up and a different basic fire energy for Scorched Earth.
