Ironclad Block Exhaust Engine

Use Exhaust to shrink the deck, draw more cards, and turn defense into damage.

Spielplan

  1. 1Take Exhaust payoffs only when you also have reliable exhaust enablers.
  2. 2Let Feel No Pain and Dark Embrace convert trimming into block and draw.
  3. 3Once Barricade or Juggernaut appears, stop drafting filler and protect the engine.
Build stability

Is the floor good enough?

Test first-cycle output, bad-draw recovery, boss coverage, and resource pressure—not only the best-case turn.

Payoff

A small deck can loop block, draw, and damage while removing weak cards from future hands.

Boss-Plan

Best into bosses that need sustained defense. Bring a clear finisher for fights with time pressure.
