Shiv Build
tier: AGenerate, buff, and use as many Shiv cards as possible for explosive burst damage.
Points
- Accuracy is the core damage multiplier — each copy adds +4 to every Shiv; stack them as early as possible.
- Knife Trap is the ultimate finisher: set it up then unleash 15-20 Shivs in one turn for massive damage.
- Infinite Blades and Blade Dance guarantee Shiv generation every turn without consuming deck slots.
- Keep the deck lean — too many non-Shiv cards slow down cycling and delay your key plays.
Details
Blade Dance and Cloak and Dagger create free 0-cost Shiv attacks. Accuracy increases each Shiv's damage by 4. Phantom Blades lets Shivs keep Retain and makes the first Shiv each turn hit much harder. Knife Trap then cashes in the exhausted Shiv pile as a real finisher once the deck is producing enough knives.
Cards
Early Commons Core Shiv generators that build damage volume early.
Early Uncommons Amplifiers that make every Shiv hit significantly harder.
High Synergy Explosive payoffs that reward a full Shiv engine.
