Cunning Potion

Cunning Potion adds multiple Shiv cards to your hand, providing free zero-cost attacks that can be played immediately. Shivs deal modest damage individually but scale powerfully with Strength buffs and on-hit effects, making them effective burst damage tools.

Cunning Potion excels against Vantom and Kaiser Crab where the burst damage from multiple Shivs can close out a fight or push through a critical damage threshold. It is also useful against Knowledge Demon when you need to deal damage without committing expensive cards from your hand.

Silent is the natural home for Cunning Potion, pairing it with Envenom to apply Poison on every Shiv hit, or Afterimage to generate Block from each Shiv played. Blade Dance adds even more Shivs to the mix for overwhelming volume. Ironclad can combine Shivs with temporary Strength from Flex Potion or permanent Strength from Demon Form. Sacred Bark doubles the number of Shivs generated, and Ring of the Snake helps Silent draw into supporting cards. Toy Ornithopter provides healing on use.
