After Image

After Image is one of the Silent’s many extremely powerful block options. The first copy is great, and every copy of After Image that you add beyond that just makes it better and better. This deck has obvious synergies with Shiv cards, with Blade Dance being the best example, but does not need to run shivs to be powerful. Strangely enough, this works quite well with Wraith form since it prevents the tiny amount of incoming damage without forcing you to commit to block cards. Note that X cost cards can be played with 0 energy just to trigger this effect. Be aware that dexterity does not increase the block amount, nor is it reduced by frail. This is a brilliant power for the Heart fight - Beat of Death deals damage every time you play a card, and After Image completely offsets that. Higher ascension has more Beat of Death damage, and the Heart can buff this damage too. On the other hand, 3+ after images make the passive virtually non-existent.
