Effectively doubles attack damage against Weak enemies and stacks explosively with Silent's abundant Weak and Shiv scaling; he argues it needs a major nerf.

Now one of Silent's strongest cards: flexible Weak, excellent damage, a huge upgrade, and direct Shiv synergy after an overlarge buff.

A spectacular answer to current late-game problems: it strips Artifact and supplies Vulnerable so Silent's fast Shiv damage can end Aeonglass quickly.

Still exceptional zero-cost cycling and often effectively Adrenaline with discard payoffs, despite card-spam and low-value block becoming worse.

No commentary

A premium Shiv Power whose scaling gained value as Silent moved toward accelerated damage for Aeonglass and Infested Prison.

Still extremely strong, but Acrobatics becoming Uncommon and Sly engines becoming less common make its free-play setup less reliable.

Persistent Shiv damage rose in value as Silent shifted toward faster damage plans for Aeonglass and Infested Prison.

An almost automatic common that supplies reliable Shiv access and immediately enables Accuracy and Phantom Blades; he often takes two or three.

One of the Shiv damage Powers that gained value in the new macro, helping turn common Shiv generation into a fast late-game solution.

Still a strong AoE and Artifact solution, but slower Poison damage has fallen behind Phantom Blades and Accuracy in the Aeonglass-focused macro.

No commentary

Previously close to an automatic pick, but Aeonglass's turn-one Artifact and pressure to win before reshuffling make it much less universal.

Its move to Uncommon is a major loss for the accessibility of Silent's Sly and discard engines.

No commentary

A rising damage payoff for Shiv decks, which now need to kill Aeonglass and Infested Prison more quickly instead of relying on repeated low-value block.

The damage buff makes it a solid damage uncommon, grouped with Silent's other useful but replaceable attacks.

Low-value block fell after Aeonglass and Infested Prison began punishing card-spam decks, though it remains usable when those matchups allow it.

Its move to Common makes the unchanged damage-and-draw package a very strong Act 1 offering, though Shiv cards and multi-hits solve more specific problems.

No longer an automatic addition because the new late-game fights punish low-value card spam, though it can recover substantial value outside Aeonglass.

Much less automatic because Aeonglass and Infested Prison punish spammable low-value block, but it can still be strong in the right Act 3 path or deck.

Generic low-value block moved down because Aeonglass and Infested Prison punish card spam; Silent can usually afford to avoid it.

No commentary

No commentary

A modest bridge for a Weak chain or occasional front-loaded defense; stronger uncommon and rare Weak sources often outclass it, and the upgrade can be undesirable.

The key card that can make Poison fast enough for Aeonglass, but its Rare availability makes the Poison route less consistent than Shivs.

He had not taken it since returning to Silent, but still sees a narrow situation where it could be useful.

The one-damage buff improves it slightly but does not materially change its niche placement.

He sees little real use for it outside very specific Prepared or Calculated Gamble setups.
