Suppress

SilentAttackAncient
Innate.
Deal 11 damage.
Apply 3 Weak.

It is an Ancient card with Innate: it starts every combat in your hand, costs 0, hits for 11 and applies 3 Weak; upgraded, 17 and 5 Weak. It does not Exhaust, so it comes back every shuffle. You get it from Archaic Tooth, which transforms the Silent's Neutralize into Suppress. Weak cuts the enemy's Attack damage by a quarter and ticks down once per enemy turn.
