Slay The Spire 2: Up My Sleeve Explained
Up My Sleeve is a Shiv generating card for the Silent in Slay the Spire 2. It creates multiple Shivs at once while also reducing its own cost each time it is played. This allows the card to scale throughout a fight and become much cheaper after the first use.
What Up My Sleeve Does In Slay The Spire 2
Up My Sleeve adds 3 Shivs to your hand and permanently reduces its own cost by 1 each time it is played.
At base, the card costs 2 energy and creates 3 Shivs. After you play it, the cost drops by 1. This means the next time you draw it, the card becomes cheaper.
Once the cost reaches 0, it effectively becomes a free Shiv generator for the rest of the fight.
The upgraded version improves the card by creating 4 Shivs instead of 3.

Why Up My Sleeve Is Strong
Shiv builds rely on generating large numbers of cheap attacks. Up My Sleeve helps by providing several Shivs at once while also becoming cheaper over time.
After the first use, the card becomes more efficient. After the second use, it often becomes a 0 cost card that generates multiple attacks.
That type of scaling can produce huge damage when combined with other Shiv synergies.

Common synergies include
Shiv focused decks that generate many attacks per turn
Effects that increase Shiv damage
Cards that trigger when attacks are played repeatedly
Decks that benefit from low cost card spam
The more Shivs your deck can generate, the more pressure you can put on enemies each turn.
Final Blurb
Up My Sleeve is a simple but effective Shiv generator for the Silent. The ability to reduce its own cost means it becomes more efficient every time you use it. Once it reaches 0 energy, it turns into a reliable source of free attacks for the rest of the fight.
In Shiv focused builds, that kind of scaling can quickly overwhelm enemies.
