Blade Dance

What we think of Blade Dance

Blade Dance is obviously very important to shiv decks, but on top of this it also synergises very well with certain relics. Kunai and Shuriken are perhaps the two most notable ones (always upgrade quickly if you have these), but relics like Ink Bottle, Pen Nib, and any others that trigger after a certain number of cards or attacks have been played also have great synergies with this. Be aware of the time eater and the heart.
