About Sharpening Sparks

Sharpening Sparks, Warrior attack reaction, designed by None first released in Aug, 2026 in the set Mastery Pack Warrior. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 13.12.

**Sharpening Steel** (0-cost Warrior attack reaction) fits best in aggressive Warrior decks that consistently attack with **swords**, especially builds that can present multiple sword swings in a turn (e.g., Dorinthea or Kassai). It’s strongest when you can reliably hit, because the on‑hit **sharpen** counter effectively snowballs damage across additional swings that turn, making it better in go‑wide or reprise-enabled builds rather than slower, controlling lists. However, it competes with stronger and more flexible Warrior reactions like **Ironsong Response** (better rate and reprise synergy), **Spoils of War** (team-wide buffs plus Copper generation), and **Warrior’s Valor** (go again + power buff), which often provide more consistent value or broader upside. Because Sharpening Steel only buffs one sword and only pays off if you hit, it’s somewhat win‑more and meta-dependent; it can see niche play in hyper-aggressive sword lists but is generally outclassed by the staple Warrior react
