Shadow Step

Discard your Hand. Next turn, Attacks deal double damage.

Shadow Step is a 1-cost rare Skill card for the Silent that draws 2 cards and makes your next card played cost 0 energy. This provides both card advantage and energy savings, enabling powerful combos by making an expensive card free. The cost reduction applies to the very next card you play.

Shadow Step pairs excellently with Wraith Form, making the 3-cost Power free to play. Leg Sweep becomes free 11 Block and 2 Weak. Burst can follow Shadow Step for a free double-Skill setup. Predator at 0 cost provides 15 free damage and 2 card draws next turn. Bullet Time becomes free, enabling your entire hand to be played.

Silent players should pick Shadow Step in decks with expensive key cards that benefit from cost reduction. It is particularly strong in combo decks that need to play multiple expensive cards in a turn. The card excels against every boss by enabling plays that would otherwise be impossible due to energy constraints.
