Sneaky Strike

Sneaky Strike is a conditional attack that deals 12 damage and refunds 2 Energy if you have discarded a card this turn. The energy refund transforms this from a fairly ordinary attack into a remarkably efficient one, effectively costing 1 Energy when the condition is met. It pairs naturally with the Silent's discard-heavy toolkit — cards like Acrobatics, Prepared, and Burning Pact all set up the condition while providing their own value.

Sneaky Strike fits best in decks that discard frequently rather than as a standalone pick. In a discard-synergy build alongside cards like Tactician or Reflex, Sneaky Strike becomes a high-damage, low-cost engine piece. Upgraded, the damage increases to 16, making it a serious threat whenever the condition is active. It rewards commitment to the discard archetype and punishes attempts to splash it into a more standard hand-management deck.

Upgraded: Deal 16 damage. If you have discarded a card this turn, gain 2 Energy.
