Reflex

Reflex is an uncommon Silent skill that draws 2 cards and discards 2 for 0 Energy. This is a neutral filtering effect — your hand size stays the same, but you exchange 2 cards for 2 fresh ones at no cost. Because it Exhausts nothing and costs nothing, Reflex is one of the most consistent hand-quality improvers available to the Silent.

Reflex is especially powerful in discard-synergy decks, where the 2 discards can trigger Tactician (energy gain), other Reflex copies, or Sneaky Strike conditions, while the 2 draws find better cards. In more straightforward decks it functions as a consistent card-quality upgrade each turn. Upgraded, it draws 3 and discards 3, dramatically increasing the cycling speed and discard trigger count. An upgraded Reflex in a discard deck creates massive resource generation.
