Upgraded

• Cost: 1
• Effect: Whenever you play an Attack this turn, gain 2 Strength. (Cost becomes 0 after upgrade)

Grants 2 Strength each time you play an Attack this turn. The more Attacks in the turn, the more Strength piles up — Attacks get progressively stronger. Play 3 Attacks and you bank 6 Strength, each Attack becoming bigger than the last. Shiv turns love it: Ink Blade first, then Shiv 1 hits for +2, Shiv 2 for +4, Shiv 3 for +6, etc. — damage spirals upward. Upgraded to 0 cost, it competes with nothing in the energy budget and becomes a pure free Strength buff. Strength does not carry to the next turn, so pack as many Attacks as possible on the same turn for maximum value.

• Play it first on turns where you expect to fire 2–3+ Attacks. Value peaks when many Attacks are queued.
• In Shiv decks, Ink Blade before mass Shiv-throwing means every subsequent Shiv pumps higher and higher damage.
• Bullet Time makes every card 0 cost — Ink Blade + Bullet Time piles Strength across an explosive free-play turn.
• Upgraded 0 cost lets you slot Ink Blade into any burst turn without consuming energy.
• Strength resets at end of turn, so land a big closer (Finisher etc.) at peak Strength on the same turn.

• Finisher: damage per Attack played. Ink Blade ramps Strength with every Attack, so Finisher detonates at peak Strength.
• Storm of Steel: discard hand → Shivs. Ink Blade → Storm of Steel generates many Shivs and each throw adds more Strength — peak offense.
• Bullet Time: all cards 0 cost. Ink Blade + Bullet Time plays every Attack free while stacking Strength.
• Accuracy: +4 Shiv damage. Ink Blade's Strength and Accuracy's flat bonus stack on every Shiv for massive damage.

• Silent card reward drop from combats
• Elite or Boss card rewards
