The signature token card of Silent decks. A-tier. As a single card, 0-cost 4 damage is unremarkable — Shiv's true essence is mass generation combined with synergies. With Strength the per-card damage scales substantially, and Accuracy (relic) grants Shiv-specific +3 damage. Five Shivs at +5 Strength = 9 damage x 5 = 45 damage; with Accuracy = 12 damage x 5 = 60 damage, truly explosive output. As a 0-cost Attack it also racks up play counts for Shuriken and Kunai. Exhaust keeps the deck thin — the generate → play → Exhaust cycle doesn't clog deck rotation.

Don't put Shiv itself in the deck; build around cards that generate Shivs (Blade Dance, Cloak and Dagger, Storm of Steel, etc.). Generating 3-5 Shivs each turn and spamming Attacks triggers Shuriken (+1 Strength per 3 Attacks) and Kunai (+1 Dexterity per 3 Attacks) every turn, stacking permanent buffs. With Strength sources, per-Shiv damage rises enough that few Shivs still output well. Combined with Afterimage (+1 Block per card played), 5 Shivs attack for damage while generating 5 Block.

• Accuracy (Relic): +3 damage for Shivs. 4 -> 7 damage; the gap widens the more Shivs you play.
• Shuriken (Relic): +1 Strength per 3 Attacks. Shiv spam racks up counts, building Strength every turn.
• Kunai (Relic): +1 Dexterity per 3 Attacks. Shivs pad Attack count while boosting defense.
• Feeding Frenzy: +5 Strength this turn turns Shivs into 9 damage each. Five = 45 damage.
• Afterimage: +1 Block per card played. Five Shivs = 5 Block. Attack while defending.
• Blade Dance: 0-cost generate 3 Shivs. Core card of Shiv builds.
• Wrist Blade (Relic): +4 damage on 0-cost Attacks. Shivs leap to 8 damage.
