An Attack that deals 8 damage and then leaks 2-3 extra HP loss for every subsequent card played this turn. In 0-cost-heavy decks, playing Choke and then spamming Slices and Shivs piles up tons of bonus damage. Combined with After Image, each card play gives Block and chips HP simultaneously — a defensive-offensive double stack. Especially strong in 0-cost-centric Shiv decks, where playing Choke early can lead to 20-30+ bonus damage in a single turn.

• Play it early (ideally first) so the rest of the turn's plays all deal bonus damage.
• Shines in decks with lots of 0-cost cards (Slice, Shiv, Gambit, Prepared, etc.).
• With After Image, every card after Choke lands 1 Block plus 2-3 bonus HP damage — total offense-defense.
• Paired with Bullet Time, the 0-cost hand unloads and maximizes bonus damage.
• Upgraded to 3 HP per play, 10 cards in a turn means +30 damage — a big payoff.

• Bullet Time: makes the entire hand 0-cost. Choke plus Bullet Time explodes bonus damage.
• After Image: 1 Block per card played. Every play after Choke both blocks and burns HP.
• Slice / Shiv: 0-cost Attacks. Spam them after Choke for HP-per-card stacking.
• Snake Form: Power that deals 4 damage per card played. Stacks with Choke's HP-loss for massive per-play bonus damage.

• Silent Shiv Build (S-tier)
