Masterful Stab is an Attack card for the Silent. It starts at 0 cost, but increases cost whenever you lose HP.

Mechanics

• The cost increases by the number of times you lose HP, not the amount of HP lost.
• The cost of the card is not limited to 3.
• If this card is created during combat (such as through Dead Branch, Attack Potion, Metamorphosis, or Foreign Influence), it will start at base cost, ignoring any HP you lost before it existed, unlike Blood for Blood.

Interactions

• Snecko Eye: Masterful Stab's cost will be overwritten by Confused whenever it is drawn, but can still increase in cost between draws.

Old Masterful Stab

Prior to Weekly Patch 39, Masterful Stab had the following card text: Can only be played if there are no other cards in your hand. Deal 16(21) damage.
