Add 3 Shivs into your Hand.
Exhaust.

For 1 Energy you get three Shivs (four upgraded) created directly in your Hand, then Blade Dance exhausts. Each Shiv is a 0-cost Attack that deals 4 damage and exhausts, so the card is 12 damage split into three separate attacks, each of which counts as a card played and an Attack played. Strength adds to every Shiv, and Weak cuts every Shiv.
