Cunning Potion

UncommonSilentDrink
Add 3 Upgraded Shivs into your Hand.

Adds 3 upgraded Shivs to your hand: each costs 0, deals 6 damage instead of 4, and Exhausts when played. That is 18 damage for no Energy, spread over three separate Attack plays. It is a Silent potion, so it comes from her pool and needs no Shiv deck to work, only room in your hand.

When to take Cunning Potion

In a Shiv deck it is a burst, since Accuracy adds to each one and Finisher counts all three as played Attacks. Drink it when Strength is up for the bonus on every Shiv.
