Poisoned Stab

Deal 6 damage. Apply 3 Poison.

Poisoned Stab is a 1-cost common Attack card for the Silent that deals 6 damage and applies 3 Poison to an enemy. It combines immediate damage with lasting Poison, making it a flexible offensive card in the early game. The dual nature of dealing both upfront and damage-over-time gives it value in almost any Silent deck.

Poisoned Stab works well alongside Noxious Fumes and Outbreak for building Poison stacks while still contributing direct combat damage. Envenom enhances it further by applying additional Poison whenever the 6 upfront damage is unblocked. Finisher can capitalize on Poisoned Stab as an Attack played earlier in the turn, dealing additional damage for each Attack. Snakebite provides complementary Poison and Weak application.

This is a solid early-game pickup for any Silent build, as it contributes to both damage and Poison strategies. It works against virtually all Act 1 enemies including Ceremonial Beast and Kin Priest. Silent players in Poison-focused builds may eventually replace it with more concentrated Poison cards, while attack-heavy builds may prefer cards with higher upfront damage like Predator.
