Speedster

Whenever you draw a card during your turn, deal 2 damage to ALL enemies.

Speedster is a 2-cost uncommon Power card for the Silent that draws 1 additional card at the start of each turn for the rest of the fight. The permanent extra draw improves hand quality and options every turn, compounding value over long fights. More cards in hand means more choices and stronger turns.

Speedster pairs with Well-Laid Plans, which benefits from having more cards to choose from for Retain. Shadowmeld gains more Block from the larger hand size. Flechettes potentially deals more damage with more Skills in hand. Backflip and Acrobatics stack with Speedster for massive card draw turns. Tracking provides even more card selection on top of the extra draw.

Silent players should pick Speedster in any deck that benefits from seeing more cards, which is virtually every deck. It excels in long boss fights against Knowledge Demon and Doormaker where the cumulative extra draws provide enormous value. The 2-cost means it competes with impactful cards for energy, so play it on a safe turn.
