Sly Discard
HardSly cards play for free when you discard them from your hand during your turn, so Acrobatics, Prepared and Calculated Gamble turn a hand into free plays and Energy. The end-of-turn discard doesn't count. Tingsha and Tough Bandages pay you for every discard. Thin the deck of non-Sly cards or it falls apart.
Relics to want
TingshaUncommon3 damage to a random enemy per card you discard on your turn. Every cycle card is now an attack.
Tough BandagesRare3 Block per discard on your turn. Block and damage from the same discards.
Ring of the SnakeStarterTwo extra opening cards means more pieces in hand on turn one.
How to play it
- Don't hard-cast Tactician or Reflex. Discard them with Acrobatics, Prepared or Survivor instead.
- Keep the deck small. Every Strike you remove makes Sly cards show up more often.
- Play Calculated Gamble last in the turn, after your cheap cards, so the discard sweeps up the Sly cards still in hand.
Why the core cards
3TacticianUncommon SkillSly. Gain 1 Energy.Costs 3 to cast, but discarded it plays free and gives you 1 Energy. Never hard-cast it.
3ReflexUncommon SkillSly. Draw 2 cards.Discarded, it draws 2 cards for free. Paying 3 Energy for that is a waste.
1AcrobaticsUncommon SkillDraw 3 cards. Discard 1 card.Draw 3, discard 1, for 1 Energy. The most reliable discard outlet you'll see.
0Calculated GambleUncommon SkillDiscard your Hand, then draw that many cards. Exhaust.Discards the whole hand, so every Sly card in it fires free. Exhausts, so time it.
2Master PlannerRare PowerWhen you play a Skill, it gains Sly.Every Skill you play gains Sly for the rest of the combat, so discarding it later plays it free. Skills that Exhaust get nothing.
