Master Planner

SilentPowerRare
When you play a Skill, it gains Sly.
  • Cost: a 2-cost Power, 1 upgraded, that adds the Sly keyword to each Skill after you play it, for the rest of the combat.
  • Sly: it means that if the card is discarded from your Hand before the end of your turn, it is played for free.
  • Timing: so the first play of every Skill is normal, and from then on any discard effect turns that Skill into a free play.
  • Exception: end-of-turn discards do not count, only discards during your turn, and the Sly play picks its own targets.

When to take Master Planner

Only for a discard-heavy Silent, since the payoff starts on the second pass through the deck and wants long fights. Upgrade it first, since 2 Energy on turn 1 is a hard price.
