Storm of Steel

SilentSkillRare
Discard your Hand.
Add 1 Shiv into your Hand for each card discarded.

It discards your whole hand in one batch, then adds one Shiv per card discarded; the upgraded card makes Shiv+ instead. A Shiv costs 0, deals 4 (6 upgraded) and Exhausts. Each discard fires discard effects separately, and any Sly card in the hand is played for free after the discards finish. Five cards become five Shivs: 20 or 30 damage for 1 Energy, before Shiv buffs.
