Infinite Blades

SilentPowerUncommon
At the start of your turn, add 1 Shiv into your Hand.

A counter power that adds 1 Shiv to your Hand just before you draw each turn; two copies add 2. The Shiv is a 4-damage exhausting attack, 6 when upgraded by other effects. It does not fire on the turn you play it. The upgrade adds Innate, putting it in your opening Hand so the Shivs start on turn 2 at the latest.

When to take Infinite Blades

Take it early in any Shiv deck, since a free attack every turn compounds with every Shiv bonus you add. Upgrade it first: Innate is the difference between turn 2 and turn 4.
