Card

Reflex

Sly. Draw 2 cards.

Reflex is a 1-cost uncommon Skill card for the Silent that draws 2 cards when discarded. Like Tactician, Reflex is not meant to be played but instead discarded by other card effects to generate free card draw. This turns discard costs into card advantage, expanding your options each turn.

Reflex synergizes with Calculated Gamble, which discards your hand and triggers Reflex for 2 additional cards drawn on top of the full hand redraw. Acrobatics, Prepared, and Survivor all discard cards and can target Reflex for bonus draws. Tactician is the natural companion, providing energy when Reflex provides cards. Tools of the Trade offers a reliable daily discard trigger for Reflex.

Silent players should pick Reflex alongside Tactician for a powerful discard engine that generates both cards and energy for free. The card is essential in discard-synergy builds and worthless without discard enablers. It shines in boss fights against Knowledge Demon and Test Subject #C10 where finding your key cards quickly is critical.
